I 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.
Thank you if anyone could shed a light on what it is, is it harmful, and how to get rid of them. I appreciate all kind advice.
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!
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.
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/
These black bugs only come to my house in the night and there are so many that we can't sit on the sofa or sleep on the bed. Everything is contaminated with these bugs. They are the size of cumin. They can fly a little bit.
They have been in my house for a week now. We have sprayed using Mortein and other chemicals along with water. For the time being they are gone, but again no result after few hours.
We have tiny brown flying bugs that look like gnats in our house. We need help getting rid of them.
By the light of my cell phone, in the dark of my bedroom, I have become aware of tiny flying (flea looking) insects. What might they be ? They are attracted to the light and I've only seen one at a time. I don't notice any bites, but after seeing them I feel they must be living off my dead skin! Help me, please, I'm creeped out!

They are called duloflectasty. And your right they do eat your dead skin and hair. They are harmless and are actually inhaled while you sleep. They attache themselves to your mucus membrane and crawl out through your nostrils, unless you breath through your nose at that point they find another exit.
I have very tiny (maybe a mm big), round moth like bugs crawling on my walls and carpet. I just saw one fly the other day. They are black and white stripped with six legs and antennas. When squished they have a powdery dust on their wings. Any idea what they are? They don't bite; they're just a nuisance.

I'm not sure what kind of bugs those are but I found the apple cider vinegar trick worked when we had a gnat infestation. Maybe that would work for you. Place a cup of apple cider vinegar near where the bugs are (a few drops of soap in the vinegar helps).
These bugs come out at night. At first they just walked around the table and gathered in our hanging light. Now they seem to wiggle when they walk and are starting to fly. They are primarily on my family room table, but now seem to be flying elsewhere in the room.
They are tiny, reddish brown in color. Does anyone know what they are? How do I get rid of them? Thanks!
I've been infested by these. Can anyone help me please?
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!
These bugs are everywhere in my room and the laundry room! Idk what to do or where they came from! How do I get rid of them? Thank you!
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.
