Ok,

Where I live we have more insects than anyplace you have ever seen.

Even people doing work here get a eyes full.

Our first concern was the wood borers that were powder post beetles.

With a house just over two years old this was not something we expected. But

cabin grade flooring.

The first winter we would notice these white specks all over things that looked

like big dust particles.

I was really a good clean house keepier so I would clean these and then as soon

as I did they would reappear.

My husband would also notice these because one place they would be the worst was

on the computer screen.

At different times I would do dusting furniture and I might find the same thing

dust them off and they reappear.

I have a canvis oil painting over a fireplace and when I would get it down

these would be all over the canvas.

Afte finding the first evidence of powder post beetles that was my only

concern.

I got a small miscrscope and would spend hours looking at things I would see

all over baseboards and floors that I would just clean.

We had taken some samples of other insects and some black widown samples because

we had so many of them up close to our house these would be on our porches and

I didn't know about egg sacks so my concern with these were when do I know a

baby black widow will show what it is. These would be so small they could get

through a screen. Since I had seen strange things around the house but I didn't

have anyway to magnify at that time I ask the Dr at UT if I could bring these

and find out what they were. She is not very nice and said yes but only one

time. She looked over the multitude of various insects and some were debre and

then on the black widows she did tell me alot about juvinals and the males.

Somethings she was going to have to have here graudate students do some research

one. It was later we saw the beetle holes. I had all kinds of pest companies

come out they d idn't know diddly squat and since they didn't use anything to

magnify with how could they.

Finally one man came that used a small miscroscope and did look at things. He

saw some things he didn't know what they were but not wood borers.

He orderd me a miscrscope like the one he had.

So I did looked at all kinds of things and would send vials of insect and

larvea things to our county agent he sent a few off and mostly they would come

back beetles that go with new construction and some would be found in a pantry

but the funny thing none were in the pantry these would be under our bed and

that is the far side of the house. We had some fungus nats.

Our agent got to throwing things away. I could hang a new picture and a month

later the frame would have holes in it. I would take this over to the county

office and just leave it if we was out.

He would make up something that just pissed me off like it looked like someone

took a screw driver to it. That frame I brought home and took the picture out

and stuck it in some water and there were all kinds of black bugs that came

out.

I still have it and there are things each day that are making it worse.

So now some of the very odd things that I sent off were these things that would

come up between the cracks in the floor after I used a steam mop a few minutes

later these white things that looked liked some type of grub would come up.

Sometimes I thought they stung me.

One night I collected all I could up. In about 5 ft of flooring I had a vial

full. these were not quite a half inch long. I decided to take these to our

old county agent where we used to live.

He said he went through all of them and they looked like fiber.

He found a couple of beetles that he sent to the Dr at UT her name is Dr Vail.

I had decided that anything with my name on it would be looked at as oh its her

again. I think our agent had made me look like a dellusional person after I

confronted him about the insects in the picture frame. So I tried not to

attach my name to anything going to UT or our state labs.

When I would pick up one of those white grubby things they would feel like

something grainy if I squished it with my fingers.

Later I got a steamer with a wand. I was steaming the tile behind our wood

stove and all these white things started coming out and these were different. I

just left them since I was known for tampering with evidence. When these dried

they also looked like fiber kind of like small pieces of baling twine like we

have on hay.

So now another odd thing the grout in our tile is full of different white

things these look like nothing until they are wet then they get soft and are

like a grub only different sizes.

I have had these show up under our kitchen cabinets and you could not see them

there I just happened to have something on a paint brush and the first time I

did this it was with some greatfruit extract that was old and just touched some

holes that should not be there and all of a sudden white things started to fall

down on to the counter.

I had been seeing things on the back splash and just thought it was some of the

finish comming off and it had a waxie finsh since these would be near the clean

caulk.

Also this is very odd.

I know that there are 4 main types of wood borers besides termites.

I would see places on our furniture that would be indented into the wood and

most of the time there would be a splattered like pattern.

I have some antiques and some I had refishsed myself so I knew what any dent or

anything that didnt' give a smooth finsh to the wood.

I even had somethins that keep making places like the wood is just going away

but no frass.

If I spray there will be these grubs some very small.

Now if I spray the walls there will not be anything visible but if I spray a

wall sometimes will later see these white things that have floated down.

I would sure like to know how to take pictures of them or send them to someone.

Once I had our agent send them off and they came back styrafoam.

I am not sure if he might have put something different in the vial just to make

me look bad because we don't have anything in the house that is styrafoam.

To be continued.

this gets more interesting.

Hi SandyI can tell you one thing and that is that my Morgellons/mites started with a head full of white specs. They would be all over my pillowcase and my husband commented on them. That was almost the first of anything we saw. I thought I had dandruff, which I did, but not like that. There were thousands of specs coming out of my head. Nothing hopping or crawling, but soon thereafter came the feeling like things were going into nose, eyes, eyebrows, mouth, everywhere you have an opening on the body. I have a microscope, but think I will get an Eyeclops, so much easier.So sorry you guys are suffering. It just isn't fair that all this is happening. Thrips Colembella Please read
