There is nothing you can do to get rid of them. All you can do is treat the bites. You've already tried the hydrocortisone and the nail polish. Have you tried an antihistamine (such as benadryl) or a local topical anesthetic to numb the itching (many types available at the drug store)? If not, try those also. It is imperitive that you not scratch the bites so that you don't cause an infection plus scratching causes a vicious cycle of intense itching. If you cannot get the itching under control, it is time to see your doctor for something more potent.

I have read and I also tried bleach. It will dry out the bites and take the itching away quicker than anything else I have tried.
