    Little Bugs
    The last couple of weeks, I've noticed thes tiny bugs at all of my windows in my house. They were at every window even the ones upstairs. The bugs were also in my bathroom/bathtub. They are so tiny that it looks like a dot just crawling around. I've sprayed and sprayed and I can't get rid of them. They are only inside of the house. I've noticed also that they are around the baseboard too. How can I get rid of them? What kind of bugs are these? Where do they come from?

    I can't ID them for you from that description, but whenever I need to ID a bug I take a sample to Lowe's or Home Depot, who both have the Ortho Problem Solving books... and look it up there. I've never not found a bug I took there to look up.

    Hope that helps... at least as something to try.

    Hi,
    I agree with the answer before this one. Also, if they are in your baseboards, then chances are, they are also under the house.
    I, too, have never heard of these little critters. What state do you live in? Just curious.

    You need to contact a professional exterminator.

    I have the same problem and extensive research has shown them as Springtails... look them up on the net. I'm fighting them tooth and nail. They are attracted to moisture. I have thousands in my back yard and they come in the bathrooms and under the doors.

    If anyone knows how to get rid of them let me know.

    The way to tell if they are springtails is to try and distrub them... Do they jump?
