Near my bed, in the quite dusty area and mainly on the floor are wondering small bugs about 1mm long, they are like white, transparent with two horizontal brown stripes on belly. If I point the light on them they try to hide in cracks in the floor, though they aren't much fast. And they are usually about 3 to 6 of them in area approximately 50x50cm. What are they?
Do you ever see any bugs about half again that size (1.5 - 2 mm) and brown? What you describe sounds similar to immature bedbugs.
Yeah I was afraid of that, but I never seen any mature ones, no brown ones, no bites nothing. Cloud there be any alternative, like any similar bug like that? I even take one on my finger and wait for a few minutes but it didn't bite, so I don't know.
Can you determine how many legs they have? That will tell you whether they are mites or insects. If you can post a close up picture it would help as well.Quote:

You're right. That looks nothing like a bedbug. It most resembles an immature (nymph) Brown-Banded Cockroach. Check out this link:Quote:

Yes I just looked on several pictures and I saw a mature cockroach exactly same looking as one bug that I spoted today. it looked like this http://www.dddactiv.sk/data/files/29.jpg How can I kill them most efficiently? And thank you for your help, it gave me lot of peace to discovered that its not actually a bedbug.
Ah by the way. I've read that they live only in USA. But I live in EU, is it possible that they would get here somehow. Tho I received lots of packadges from south america... But never from US
The picture you posted is of a different species of cockroach, but getting rid of them is similar.Quote:

Next, apply baits into the cracks where the insects harbor. Baits come in various forms depending on what art of the world you are in, but Boric Acid powder is fairly universal. If you use powder, do not use too much. Roaches have to walk through it and eat it from the pads on their feet for it to kill them, so a very light film of dust is more effective than piles of powder.
Gel baits can be injected into the cracks and are the most effective, but availability is limited in some parts of the world.
Dry baits inside bait containers are probably the cheapest and most available. They will kill the bugs IF they eat it, but neither the form of bait nor the bait container are very attractive to the bugs.
You will need to keep watch on the situation and reapply the bait in about 2 - 3 weeks or when you begin to see more live ones than dead. Since you have babies visible, you have adults you can't see laying eggs.
Kudzu bugs are still listed as native to Singapore, but I treated an invasion of them at a home in North Carolina yesterday.Quote:
