It looks like a beetle to me. If you have bedbugs, you will have bite masks and bloodstains on your sheets.

If the head board is wooden, it could be powder post beetles. Can you find any tiny pin-size holes or very fine sawdust in the wood? Powder Post Beetles drill very small diameter holes into wooden things and then lay their eggs inside.

You will need to use an insecticide to kill them.

I have little brown bugs (look like mites). They can be seen with the eye, but are really small. They don't bite, but really annoying. Does anyone have an idea of what they are? Please help.

I have very tiny bugs - the size of the top of a straight pin in my kitchen around the windows and on my white floor. When you step on them or use your finger to smash them, they leave a reddish, brown streak.

What bug is this? I find this bug every time I lay down. I can feel it crawling on me and it's different colors. One was light and I barely can see it.

The others brown and black have 6 legs and two antennae. It's so small.

There is a small, tiny, hard to see with the naked eye bug in my bed, on my furniture, and on my dog. I can feel them on my face, but they're not really biting me. They are all over my house. Could someone please help me to understand what I have?

I called the exterminator and they said it is not bed bugs so with this picture could someone please help me identify what is running me crazy?

If they are on the dog, I think fleas or mites.

I have found these hanging out on our floor trim, I think I can pinpoint a few places where they live inside the floor trim. There are also pale colored larva. I thought they were bed bugs because I have gotten bites, but I don't think they look like bed bugs me they look more like beetles of some kind.

These are NOT Bedbugs. They ARE some type of Beetle, but your photos are too blurry to distinguish what variety. Also, when taking a photo of any kind of insect, you should always put a ruler or a coin, etc., near the insect for size comparison. From your photo, this beetle could be 1/16th inch long or 1 1/2 inches long....there is nothing to determine size.

If the larva are found right near the trim board, these beetles could be a type of Wood Boring Beetle. If I were you, I would try to catch both a beetle and the larva - use a piece of CLEAR tape to catch them, and take to a hardware store to see if they can identify what variety. They will also know what kind of insecticide to use and/or a reliable exterminator in your area. Good luck, and let us know the outcome.

I recently found these crawling around my windowsill and my cat's Kitty condo. From what it looks like, these are black carpet beetles but they're super tiny.

I just want to make sure they're not bed bugs. Thanks

Can anyone help me in discovering what these bugs are? They are usually pretty tiny. Some of them move pretty quickly, and others (bigger ones) seem to crawl more slowly. I noticed them on my counter the other day and now all over my walls, on all floors of my home, and along the walls. I have sprayed the bugs with bug killer and it seems to stun them for a bit and then they keep moving. I originally only found them at night, but now I am seeing more of them and at all times a day. If anyone can provide any clues I would greatly appreciate it.

Yeah, that photo is pretty hard to read. It looks to be a beetle. I suggest you visit the following links to see if you can compare [Download Missing]

As a general rule, diatomaceous earth is a good natural killer of hard-shelled insects in the larval stage.

What the hell are these? There's little black ones and grey/tan bugs and they kind of hop?

Could be springtails. They feed on decaying organic matter such as leaves and algae, and are attracted to humidity and moisture, so check for leaky pipes and slow drains too. To prevent them from entering your home you'll need to caulk or otherwise seal all openings and cracks on windows and doors.

(Pesticides usually are not effective but you could try diatomaceous earth.)

These could be Springtails, they often get mistaken for looking like fleas. These insects are very tiny and they do jump and hop around. On how to be rid of them - www.domyown.com/how-to-get-rid-of-springtails-a-274...
