Who is it? Help us identify our neighbors!

We recently moved into a new apartment, only after repairs and about 2 months later I noticed this miracle crawling on the phone.
Then on the laptop monitor, you can see them, because they are on black.
The size is 1mm.
Today there were already more of them on the phone 5-7, they choke without problems.
The phone charges at night on the floor, I assume that they live on it.
Tell me who it is and how painless for the rest of the inhabitants (children, adults, animals periodically once a year) to say goodbye to these kids?

Aliakparov, not karakurt, but from the same family-Steatoda paykulliana, is not dangerous for humans.

Good afternoon, we moved to a new apartment, there are such beetles, who is this and how to lime?

These are land crustaceans-woodlice. Completely harmless. They live in places with high humidity. To lime it is necessary to dry all the wet places. ))

Good day to dear participants!
Please tell me what kind of insect appeared in our apartment, presumably with old solid wood furniture.
Length - 8 mm.

Rhyparochromus sp., a plant-eating bug, was accidentally caught.

Triplaxxx, thank you, really him. The piquancy of the situation is that we have already noticed a couple of dozen individuals - every day we meet them crawling around the apartment. Either there was an egg laying in an old chest of drawers that lived in the yard, or the beetles decided to spend the winter somewhere in the wall of the house (the fourth floor of a panel high-rise building), and get to us through the window opened on the occasion of warm weather...

I read about it - it turns out that these beetles like to spend the winter in wooden buildings or under the bark of trees and often gather in large groups. Oh, apparently, we'll have to sort out the chest of drawers and shake out all the bedbugs, otherwise we'll have a fun winter

Strange midges in the kitchen near the blender and in the toilet help me figure out who they are and how to get rid of them.

Humpback Megaselia scalaris. But please don't read about the miasma, or you'll just go nuts from scratch! Usually, these insects do not stay in apartments for a long time and do not form a large population density, with the exception of the apartments of breeders of tropical cockroaches and other insects, since their corpses are a favorite food for larvae. But starving people also eat a variety of other organic products, so look for something that may have died somewhere in your apartment or the food has gone bad.

They live in the toilet trash and inside the blender for a long time (about half a year), how to poison them? I washed with domestos didn't help.

Unfortunately, I can't imagine what a toilet trash can is, and a blender, as far as I remember , is such a kitchen appliance for grinding solid foods into porridge, how can someone live there? It looks like you've fallen victim to high-tech. Here, I have a cast-iron kitchen sink of secular production with a single smoothly functioning drain in which no one lives, despite the fact that in the recent past the apartment was full of humpbacks due to the breeding of cockroaches. After the cockroach farm disappeared, humpback also disappeared (although Prue still tried to cling to life).

In short, you need to throw out the blender and trash can, and scroll through the family, just in case.

And also, just in case, take a course of rabies therapy and put on anti-avalanche collars. Although, perhaps, I just misunderstood the meaning of the ambiguous word "scroll through"...

Oh, you shouldn't have listened to my advice on what not to read, this is the first step towards the yellow house. Here one lady has already been diagnosed with rebirth in her dog by horizontal gene transfer through subcutaneous helminths.

Who's that?"
sometimes I notice them crawling on the wall

Do you notice any rash or itching? Because it's a bed bug.

A rare animal in modern times.

where could this have come from? I've never encountered them before. the house is cleaned regularly

I would NOT say-the last 2-3 years of complaints have gone in a stream

Apparently, it all depends on what region and circle you are in.

There are options... For example, skidding of old furniture without processing or "clean" neighbors...

The rapid increase in complaints about bed beetles is roughly related to the mass migration of "Jamshoots" to Central Russia

Good evening, please tell me, in the photo 4 kozheed? A couple of them were lying in the closet, and on the back wall of the closet was this horror, which is in photo 1-3.. some black spots, like eggs or something, when I wiped them with a rag, then on the rag there was something similar to a mixture of black dirt and some very small hard grains of different shapes, and there were black and brown ones...The quality of the photo is certainly not very good, but it couldn't get any better..It can be similar to the waste products of insects? or insects? or is it mold/mildew?

. and you found a brownish specimen the size of a grain of salt on the radiator? she just rubs it with her finger... I couldn't get a picture.. could it be trips? or some kind of flower mite? it was the same on a child's toy.. Thank you in advance

According to my question 2, it looks like a hay eater... I will catch and photograph them...

lilus, then not eggs, then excrement.

nightmare...bedbugs or...? bo was the case as the poisoned do not understand who...they didn't look behind that wall...

To determine the species of poop, you need a cool psychic tracker. But the beetles themselves are not in the pictures.

Good day to dear forumchanam!
I decided to ask for advice on the only entomologist forum on the ru-Internet:
----------------
after the renovation, street beetles settled in our apartment (they live in poplars that grow near the windows), they thought that with the cold weather they would go away, die out,and not live...Ah, no - they successfully overwinter the second winter, do not hatch anything, successfully breed and feel at ease. What they eat is unclear. They love the heat and all sorts of cracks... The size reaches a length of 2-3 mm. They fly quite well, rattling against the ceiling at night.
There was an assumption that they were Khrushchaks.
Help me identify it, I attach a photo from the microscope in the attachment.
I really hope for the help of specialists.

These are bread grinders - they do not live in any poplars, but develop in plant products - flour, pasta, cereals, red pepper, etc., they are also found in horse chestnut fruits, cedar pine cones, mustard plasters and entomological collections.
Search and discard contaminated products

The fact of the matter is that they were never found in the products. Neither in flour, nor in pasta, nor in cereals... If you leave open honey in a bowl or juice, sweet tea in a glass, you can find beetles there after a while.
They cooperate in the corners of walls, lamp shades, on the windowsill, curtains, on the ceiling, not only in the kitchen, but throughout the house. Almost always in groups of several.
At night, when you turn off the light, they start clicking and clicking (either flying, or crawling). If you turn on the TV or mobile phone, they fly to the screen.
Specifically, they pester you when you lie down with your mobile phone, read before going to bed, and they fly to your face
We have already got used to the fact that they are indestructible. Several generations have already changed - the little ones crawl and fly, then the big ones. It remains a mystery: what they eat and what kind of animals in general.
-------------------------------------------------
-P.S. I read about the bread grinder (pharmacy beetle) - it is very similar both in appearance and in habits. However, the worn-out products have never been seen. The fact that adults do not feed is very similar. Larvae were never found - my wife shook all the cereals, sifted, examined all the cracks, looked for a den. Nothing like that.
Thank you for the hint, we will think about what to do next.

And what is the region??? Maybe you have more than one view??? Nocturnal tapping is typical of a furniture grinder, but it's DEFINITELY not him in the photo...

Rostov region.
The beetles are all the same as in the photo. They only differ in size.

Well, if nothing exotic and tropical was brought, then it should only be a bread grinder...
What kind of house do you have? high-rise building or...
To remove doubts, you can put a photo of the beetle/beetles on top and preferably next to it, or a ruler with divisions or millimeter paper for understanding the dimensions.

I photographed two more beetles. It feels like these are different.... there is one beetle in four pictures, and the last picture shows the second one. caught in one place, on the windowsill.
Not the biggest ones available. One of the images shows a ruler next to it.





The house is multi-storey, third floor. They appeared after repairs, when all the windows were wide open. We weren't living in an apartment yet, and there wasn't any food. It's not clear what attracted them...
Help me identify it unambiguously after all

The beetle in 4 pictures is Smirnov's leatherworm, a mass species in apartment buildings. Larvae are keratophagous, feed on wool, but often they have enough "reserves" under cabinets and behind baseboards
, and the second one is also a bread grinder. If there is no source in the apartment, then you need to look for ways to enter the apartment. They can't get through the ventilation system from their neighbors?
I once had a case of examining the premises during the mass production of bread grinders, when they did not find where they were coming from ...

Who is it??? They live in the bathroom, the size in the photo is 1mm long, but they reach 1.5 mm.

Hay eater (Psocoptera).

The story is this, I found a bunch of these midges in the flour, threw them out, but it wasn't there, these creatures crawled all over the closet and I found them in almost every box and tea bags, of course I threw everything out and washed the closet,closed the leftovers in plastic bags,but these creatures appeared on the same evening and you can still see the kids made (such white, almost transparent), and in general they themselves are barely visible, light brown in color, 1-2 mm approximately, for some reason, as it seemed to me, they really like cardboard and paper, I'm very worried that this infection does not penetrate further than the kitchen into books and documents!!!What are these animals and if anyone has experience with them, how to get rid of this gift?
