December 9, 2019

Identifying Tiny Flying Black Insects - closeupI found these insectson my bed recently. They are very tiny like specks of dust, a black colour, and able to fly. And, I think I might have got bitten by them. The bite feels like sharp, piercing pain.

It almost looks like a no see em bug or even a chigger. You can try putting on some mint oil on your skin to stop them from bitting you. I would make a trap or even get some flypaper to try and trap them. You can check with your local pest control company in your area and see what they recommend to spray them with to get them out of your home.

I had an issue with some like you describe. I placed a small container with some apple cider vinegar and a little bit of liquid soap on a window sill near the bed and they drown themselves in it and all were gone in a couple of days. Good luck.

Over the last week, I have noticed these small black flies inside our house, mostly on the windows. I have tried just spraying them but they come back within a day.

They tend to crawl or jump but can fly. Does anyone know what they are? I'm in the UK. Thank you!A fly on a white surface.

These likely are springtails. They are attracted to moisture, so often found in bathrooms, near drainboards and sinks, etc. Ensure that your screens are fitted properly with no holes and that sashes are secure. Also remove or cover any sources of water around windows and doors.

Inside, that might include pet water bowls (just don't place them near windows and doors) or dishwater; outdoors, forgotten pails, toys, birdbaths and such. It also will help to remove foliage near windows.

I think this is Auchenorrhynca
The Auchenorrhyncha is suborder of the Hemiptera. It contains most of the familiar members of what was called the "Homoptera" groups such as cicadas, leafhoppers, treehoppers, planthoppers, and spittlebugs.
Probably of the Cicadellidae family (Leafhoppers).

There are many Auchenorrhyncha species commons.wikimedia.org/.../File:Auchenorrhyncha_species.jpg

Trying to figure out what these are. They come out at night mostly around our lamps and lights. And we find clear wings that theyve dropped.

Do you live where they get termites? That is what they look like to me, and when termites outgrow their nest, they swarm like bees do, looking for a new site to built. If a suitable site is found, the termites shed their wings as they move in.

Check the outside of your foundation or slab for mud-like tunnels going up the wall. If any sign there or if you see more and more of them, call an exterminator ASAP. Report back here to let us know how it goes.

They are very tiny. Mostly attracted towards phone screen light when lights are off. Sometimes I see them on floor/walls in dim lights.

Hard to tell since it is smushed. In my house when I have things that fly to my screen they are fruit flies and that means I have potatos or fruit I left out and forgot about.

Get rid of that, and the bugs go away.

The other thing are drain flies...but those are really tiny and this looks more fruit fly sized.

Drain flies I get rid of by boiling some vinegar, putting baking soda in the drain and pouring the boiling vinegar down the pipe.

Sometimes it takes a few tries. It cleans and kills!

This does look like a beetle to me. There are so many variety of different beetles. In order to get rid of these it will be necessary to clean them up and vacuum them up. Lay down some sticky flypaper to trap them as they run around the room. Throw the paper away when you have quite a few of them stuck there and also lay down a new one.

it will take time to get rid of them. If you can find out where they are coming from it is best to try and plug up the hole to keep them from getting in your home. Also look around and see if you can find the nest and get rid of this so no more eggs can hatch.

Anyone know what kind of flies these are? These flies are everywhere. They walk on walls and carpet and fly around the house. No food is left out; they just won't leave.

In some areas house flies are overwhelming and can be a total pain to get them out of your home. There is one great product that the stores do sell for this time of the year and it is flypaper.

Put this out around your home. The flies love the smell of this and will land on it and get stuck. Then just throw it away. That is one of the best ways to control common house flies there is.

I have super tiny bugs flying around my house. They are primarily in the kitchen, but I also see them in our living room. They are so small you can barely see them.

I can catch them pretty easily, they look to be a copper/light brown bug. You can only see the color after you kill them and they are still. Any ideas?

They sound like gnats. Try to find the nest. See where they are coming in and trace the nest. Spray an insecticide and they will be gone.
