Tiny Brown Flying Insects

I have tiny brown hard bodied bugs with a body and then a head attached. It has front antennae. They die underneath grates on top of kitchen stove and I've found them on front living room window sill. They must fly, because they land on me and crawl. Don't bite. I have seen them on top of refrigerator, dead. I've seen a few flying insects but don't think they're fruit flies, so they must be these brown bugs flying. Help!

Check your pantry! I had a similar problem with dead bugs in a windowsill directly across from my pantry. I noticed them when I was vacuuming. They were back the next week as I was again vacuuming. A few days later I found bugs in an unopened wrapped box of dog biscuits. I walked the box to the outside trash. I checked everything else in the pantry and there was nothing. No bugs since. That had happened to me about 10 years ago too, so I don't even buy dog biscuits anymore.

I agree, check the pantry. It may be a flour beetle or something similar. Good Luck (04/02/2009)
