Good afternoon, gentlemen experts. Forum - not to break away, just a holiday of some kind

Location-Moscow, a brick high-rise building built in the 1970s. After an apartment overhaul. There are no pets in the apartment.

So, the questions are:

1. In the summer months, when you try to sleep on an old bed and sofa (left by your parents), all your feet are covered with bites - small red swollen spots, somewhat similar to mosquito bites, at least the size of the spots is the same. Mostly the lower part of the leg. Sometimes they manage to bite you in the stomach, but this is an isolated phenomenon. The bites are terribly itchy, but you can't see the authors, you wake up with an itchy feeling. Remedies for insect bites do not help much. Aerosol pollination of the sofa and bed by various Raptors, etc. practically does not affect the combustability of enemies. Except that one next night a little less bite...In winter, they don't bother you, only in the warm season (which is strange, since the apartment is warm all year round...). The question is, who should I think about-bedbugs (God forbid!) or fleas? Where did they come from and how to withdraw them? Throw out the sofa is not an option, he, the bastard, my mother's and very valuable Bed has already been thrown out.

2. At one time I saw awesome cockroaches in a foreign zoo. I attach the photo, but it was taken through the glass of the terrarium and in a dark hall, so do not charge. They were the size of a peach pit (i.e. 3-4 cm long), not round, but also not elongated, like Madagascar. Without wings, the scales are not clearly defined. But the most important thing is the color! Awesome color scheme that accurately conveys the iridescent brown-honey scale of the tortoiseshell crest! Such beauties! Alas, no matter how I try to find a photo or information on the web , I can't find it without knowing the name
And such beautiful-well, there are simply no words, I have never seen more beautiful insects!
Maybe experts will tell you...

3. What do those ants that start up at home actually eat - small, red, nasty ones? How to deprive them of food? (it is necessary for the educational study of the cubs - so that they finally finish littering in the kitchen, etc.)
