Hello everyone,

We have small bugs in our house. Does anyone know what these are and, more importantly, what might be causing them?

The source seems to be in the basement, as that’s where most of them are. There are only a few on the ground floor, and so far none in the upper floor.

What can we do to get rid of them?

Narrow brushed metal strip above a rough white wall; a brown object rests on the wall.

Small brown spot on a roughly textured white wall.


Thanks in advance

Please take better pictures; these are blurry and you can’t see anything when zooming in.

That could possibly be a cockroach. However, it is difficult to identify on the blurry pictures. It might be a small species or recently hatched.

Two small brown insects on a light gray wall with a fine crack line.


White textured wall with a vertical crack in the middle and two brown spots along the joint.


White wall corner with a rough texture; three small brown insects on the joint.


Unfortunately, the smartphone camera can’t capture better images. The critters are actually very, very small.

We have had this on the walls as well. Do they also bounce or move when you press near them with your fingers?

They might be dust mites; approximately how large are they?
