I've noticed all around my house, especially around lights, very small bugs that are sorta beetle shaped. They can fly, but they seem to crawl around more.
You need to find the nest. Try to trace where they are coming from.
There's probably beetle larvae around your house. Vacuuming and steam-cleaning will help as a first solution.
Late last night I found this tiny black bug crawling around and at first thought it could be a bed bug, but realized it wasn't when it flew. So right now I'm confused what it is and I would like to know how to get rid of it (after killing it I saw 3 more).
It looks like some kind of a gnat. Use a regular insecticide
Hello I want to know how can I get rid of this bug that keep flying all over and on my bed there very tiny and black and bite
I have a couple of tiny bugs in my room that fly. I think maybe they are small gnats, but I barely can see them. They constantly buzz around my ear and make it super uncomfortable to sleep.
place a sideplate on your bureau with 1 part water 3 parts lemon dishsoap OR red wine only. It will attract the gnats or fruitflys and drown them.
I have black flying insects that bite in my house and they are driving me crazy. We were told by personnel at the hardware store to pour bleach down all of the drains, starting at the top of the house. I first saw them in my shower, coming from the drain. They are in my laundry room, probably from the floor drain. I have seen them upstairs now in the main bathroom and the kitchen sink. The bleach has not done anything.
I have red welts and a rash all over my arms, hands, and shoulders. I don't know about my back, but it is always itchy. So is my head. I am going crazy and can't sleep. I hate to go into the bathroom at night, because I have to start picking up the bodies after spraying with Raid Max. Nothing works. They just keep coming back, they never go away. Help.

When you put bleach down drains, do you have a stopper to put over drain holes? You could try vinegar and baking soda. I heat up vinegar in microwave, then pour baking soda in drain and then pour vinegar. I've used this to unstop drains.
Note: after it stops bubbling from the vinegar and baking soda, put stopper over night. I hope this works or you find a solution.
Have you tried the bleach and then plugging or covering the drains so they can't come out?
What is this bug? It is attracted to light the light.

I have tiny flying insects in my home. They are smaller than mosquitoes. What can I use to get rid of them?
I recently, 2 months ago, moved into a furnished apartment. My first nights there, I felt like bugs were landing on me.
I have beetle looking bug that flies, it's about the size of a small ant, infesting my kitchen. Any idea what this is or how to get rid of it?
Just wondering if anyone might have suggestions for controlling small, flying insects indoors? They look like baby flies.
