    Transparent minute bugs with 6 legs ,antennas and larger bottom half .
    First seen on some clean washing out of airing cupboard two together. Then another found on my dressing gown , seen under microscope , they are clear and can see all insides moving but very very tiny. Seem to have a black or brown line down the middle and as an outline. Have a cat and a dog but have never seen this type of bug/mite/? Before please help as have newborn and want to get rid of them ASAP. Can't find a mass of them anywhere yet.

Want to put mulch around bottom of my half of trees [ 7 Answers ]
