It probably is fleas - unless it's mosquitos! Are you actually seeing the little red bumps on your skin from bites?
What spray was used on your home? I'm not sure about exterminators, I like to know what is being used.
You can do no better than get a proper flea spray from a vet - don't even BOTHER with stuff from shops - it go over your whole house, all carpets, even the laminate, and incuding fabric furniture. Do it, then hoover. Then turn up your central heating a couple of degrees to encourage flea eggs to hatch and the flea pupae to mature - then spray and vacuum again.
Hasn't failed me yet - if you still get bitten after this it's either mosquitos, bed bugs (unlikely, they don't jump which is why you get bit in bed when you're laying on their home) or mosquitos.

You may need to have it retreated for fleas.
you could also have the preverbial "bed Bugs" those are small and viciously nippy little creatures. and if there is an infestation- you won't just find them in your bed.
Also consider the possibility of ants.
The ants that bite are very small, hard to see red/black ones.
This is the time of year for ant infestations. I know I've been dealing with that at my own place. And just when I think they've gone, there they are again.
I'd talk to a professional exterminator and explain the problem. If you have any sores left from the bites... take a picture of them. Sometimes certian bugs leave distinct marks and a professional exterminator will be able to tell.
Are the bites itchy and do they welt as if you get bitten by a musqueto? That's another thing to consider. This the season now.
Also, consider the possiblity that something may be sticking you- Something in your chair, something that area... someone mentioned you could be alergic to something. you may think that's out there, but That is a possibility. I had alergies to a fiberglass cast on my leg, and it felt like I was being bitten.
When They took it off, i had red sore hives all over my leg. and it was from not being tolerant to the fiberglass.
So move your computer, maybe change the seat you're sitting in. And test for allergies. That could be a good idea too if nothing else works.

Okay, this is what I would do:
1- Move the computer
2-Use the computer to find a good local exterminator
Good luck! Bug bites are not fun...

You probably still need to spray again because more fleas could still have hatched. They lay lots of eggs so spray again

May be it's not bites, may be it's an allergy. Get tested for allergies by your doctor.

If you have a dog, it might be a flea.. or maybe it can be a spider.
