I have seen these tiny brown bugs that are smaller than a grain of rice (seems one whole body part without wings) in my dry pastas, breads and crawling in cabinets. I did put some bay leaves down in the cabinet which the bread is in, and so far they have not gone back but are still prominent else where. How do I know what this is and how to rid of them? I'm worried that they can be some type of flea, but have not seen them else where in the house. I did have a sticky fly trap by a window during the summer which left some glue residue on the window which the brown things seem to be attracted to. There are about 6 or 7 on it. I do know about sealing all foods tight, but they seem to somehow get in even if it's in a very sealed container!

Sounds like it could be Flour Beetles.
