They look like a chicken tick, but the picture is so-so, you know...

Thank you.The mites are so small, unfortunately only such photos,but when enlarged they are dark brown in color.And the chicken mite is reddish.Pigeons can also have a chicken tick?

Maybe. And it happens. The blood of any bird suits him. And temporarily-and a person. The color of the tick is determined by the amount of blood consumed and the time it is in the digestive tract.

Oh my God!You scared me!So far, I haven't found a single bite,although I've found ticks on the bed, oh...I don't know what will happen next.It's hot outside,the balcony is always open without this in any way, only the feathers fly into the room from these pigeons...there is no way to get rid of them, just move....

For many years I kept dwarf chickens in the yard in a chicken coop. These ticks simply stuck to them, living in the cracks of the ceiling during the day. Chickens and hens were especially affected. You'd go into a chicken coop at night and find hundreds of them showering on your head. And my hair was cleaner than Leo Boniface's. "And nothing! "I'll go out and brush my hair and not get bitten." Immediately, of course, when they all pile up in droves-unpleasant, ticklish.
I brought it out very simply - I drew Masha along the cracks.
And you try to treat the balcony box and the frame slots (in the closed position)on both sides with a contact spray. (Just don't confuse it with dichlorvos - it's just a gas attack-vaporized, and there's nothing left) It helped me for 2 years, for example.
Arthropods will die from touching the surface on which they crawl. I once sold such drugs for several years.

Do not panic, but own the information, using it to your advantage.
And it's not a fact that even more unpleasant neighbors won't appear in your new nest.
By the way, if you have so much money for in-game relocations, you'd better throw me a few hundred pupaars on the phone at least)

Thank you very much to wwm for your help.I'll take your advice.It is very nice to get an answer from knowledgeable people on this forum.
And we will really move because we are waiting for the completion of the construction of our apartment.I really hope there will be no new roommates, although everything can be expected.I hope for the best.
Thank you again!

Take a look, please!
These are the insects that we have in our kitchen. Very small, about 0.5 mm, there are also smaller ones. Some probably even 0.1 mm. They spread all over the kitchen. Also on the refrigerator were found eggs, quite large, in appearance of a grayish color. It is possible, of course, that these eggs are not related to these insects in any way. In other rooms of the apartment, these insects were not seen. No bites or allergies. Moskaa city.

I managed to get a better photo. Through a magnifying glass, you can see that this reptile has 3 pairs of legs and a mustache. The body is light, and as if outlined in black, above and below the body (I don't know how to explain this) on a black spot.
Help! Very scary

Oh...Now a lot of high-quality aerosols are called dichlorvos. It's just a brand,like a copy machine-a photocopier. In the vast majority of cases, they do not contain organophosphate active substances, only pyrethroids. To give advice of this kind, it is necessary to understand what it is all about.

Again, by the way, probably a chicken tick. Can I take photos of eggs? are they big like yours? Apply an emulsion-based or microencapsulated suspension to the perimeters of window openings, the air conditioner communications entrance hole, and other crevices and other through holes, if any, leading from the outside of the building wall to the inside of the house. the processing band width is 30-50 cm. You don't need to fill the entire apartment with poison. I won't advertise drugs, the Internet will help. Choose pyrethroids (alphacypermethrin, cypermethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin), do not take PHOS-based preparations (chlorpyrifos smells bad and does not work for long). There is no resistance in chicken ticks.

Thank you so much! It's very likely that he is. On the forum I found in some topic a photo of exactly our animals, and it was written that this is a gamazrvyj (aka chicken) tick.. We have the last 5th floor and the pigeons are just right above us...
I've already scraped the eggs off the refrigerator. I didn't think to make a better photo, only the ones that I posted. They are large, of different sizes, scraped off very badly. On the refrigerator door, they were lined up just like that. It even seemed to me that they were not gray, but rather silver, in general, someone tried to match the color of the refrigerator

In the photo, the eggs of a chicken tick look much larger than the tick itself.It is written on the Internet that they are generally less than a millimeter and then how can they be seen?maybe I'm wrong about something or don't understand it...

A chicken tick is less than a millimeter long. The limit of visibility of the human eye is 14 millimeters ( as it is written in medical textbooks). There is no contradiction to see a 0.5 mm tick.

Selma, the eggs are really much bigger than the ticks themselves. The mites are microscopic, and I wouldn't have noticed them if they hadn't started running around on my phone screen. Then they were found on the table in the kitchen, and then all over the kitchen, and on the walls, and on the furniture, and on the floor. On white, they are clearly visible, and if you still light up the phone with a flashlight, then just fine. They are approximately 0.1-0.7 mm. This is by eye, of course. The smallest ones look like a moving dot.
Naturally, after this, they began to wash the whole kitchen and inspect all the corners, and these eggs were on the refrigerator. It may also be that they have nothing to do with ticks. But we don't seem to have any more insects in the apartment. In late May or early June, there are a couple of birch beetles, they have learned to crawl through the net. And no one else was seen. Well, flies and mosquitoes occasionally. Nothing unusual, in general.

I'm thinking, maybe it's not the eggs, but the" home " of these ticks? Does this happen at all? Because in the photo on the Internet, the eggs are all smooth and the same size, and these are all different, and most of them seem to be glued together. Approximately 1mm to 3mm

Oh...Now a lot of high-quality aerosols are called dichlorvos. It's just a brand,like a copy machine-a photocopier. In the vast majority of cases, they do not contain organophosphate active substances, only pyrethroids. To give advice of this kind, it is necessary to understand what it is all about.

- Ok`! - At that time, to my shame, I did not really read the compositions, but believed what was written. And I was not deceived, using the one where it was written "contact action aerosol". And this is exactly the aerosol of THIS method of action that I recommended. Moreover, I myself tested it, very successfully processing surfaces - from touching which insects died.
And I have not yet seen such high-quality aerosols, which are called dichlorvos.
And to benefit from the letter , I ask you to write down WHAT substances a contact aerosol should have in its composition in order for it to be such.
Waiting for an answer.
Sincerely, Andreas.

Andreas, I'll try to control myself. Thanks

As for the birch beetles, I myself have seen how they deftly crawl through the netting on the balcony and then sit on the inside. The grid is large. Bedbugs are generally my main phobia, since the institute.

In general, the question about eggs is still open...

Olga, you are wrong again. conditioned reflexes in insects are not developed. This is not Pavlov's dog.

A controversial issue...

A controversial issue...

(off topic)

Yes, there is nothing controversial in this issue. Why are insects worse than infusoria-suvoek, which managed to develop conditioned reflexes? Probably, they are present in all animals, except for some particularly degenerated parasites (and maybe in them, too, but in a specific form that is hardly noticeable to us, such as changes in metabolism).

In general, I have such news. When our animals appeared, among other things, a package of flour purchased recently was under suspicion. Today I talked to the seller of this flour, told the situation, he said that it was cockroaches. Eggs are theirs, and small beetles are actually hatched cockroaches, they are small as dust. They have just such cockroaches found in the store... apparently from there I brought them along with flour. Although, maybe from the neighbors. We have neighbors with cockroaches. In any case, I will handle all entrances and exits to the apartment, just in case.

Andreas, I had a very unpleasant history with bedbugs, and I remember it for the rest of my life. When I was a student, my friends used to rent an apartment, it looked so clean. They lived there for about a month and didn't notice anything. And once after the wedding of our mutual friends, we stayed the night with them, and that's when I saw what bedbugs are on the wall and on the couch, just a bunch of bedbugs. It turned out that the previous tenant divorced them in the sofa, the landlady called the service, for some period they disappeared, but then they appeared again. Since then, I have remembered that bedbugs are scary, that they can hide and be invisible for the time being, that you can't bring them out, and it's not at all the fact that they are found only in dirty apartments. So at home I always check all the sofas, vacuum them often, and in hotels I always check the bed before going to bed. And friends from that apartment ran away afterwards, dropping their sneakers. It's not a sight for the faint of heart, worse than horror movies.

"About the first paragraph... - you could ask the same question to other "certified" specialists-pie makers and shoemakers - the answers would be even more original)

"About the second paragraph... - We once bought a treshka with a surcharge + bed beetles as a bonus from the Murzabekov Balkars in Tyrnyauz. We slept in the same bed with them (let no one accuse us of bestiality) - but they had us with great pleasure. However, as the years go by, I can't remember how unpleasant it was. Well, and, by that time, I had long been an "Entomologist"; - so it was not possible to develop entomophobia again...

I managed to get a better photo. Through a magnifying glass, you can see that this reptile has 3 pairs of legs and a mustache.

No, "that bastard" in your photo has 4 pairs of legs.

Well, bring "cockroaches" from the store-it is possible. Only in your photos - no cockroaches. You have already been clearly and accurately told: these are ticks.

Hello! Please tell me what kind of insect is so nasty? Most often, all this is found in the bathroom, noticed on the kitchen countertop, as well as on the kitchen windowsill(strange, it's not wet at all). It jumps away when you try to pin it down. How to exterminate it? Thank you in advance!

Size up to 3 mm

These are leg-tails. Humidity is loved, however. They can live in the soil of flower pots of indoor plants.

Andreas, Dmitrich, thank you so much, I understand everything. Let's fight

Thanks) And how to get rid of nogohvostok? There are no pots of plants on the windowsill. What kind of chemistry are they afraid of?

Thanks) And how to get rid of nogohvostok? There are no pots of plants on the windowsill. What kind of chemistry are they afraid of?

Any "chemistry" is harmful, first of all, for humans (and much more so than legtails). If you prefer to get poisoned , then Google will help you (type in the search engine "nogohvostki in the house", "how to get rid of nogohvostok", etc. - and go ahead at your own risk). And I can only advise you to determine the source of their reproduction (after all, this is some place with high humidity) and eliminate it. Yes, possibly troublesome. But it's a hundred times safer.

In fact, the hated Nogohvostki help you non-acid-they eat mold. Think about what it can grow on. If it's right on the walls, then don't put up with legwings, the alternative is not so harmless to health.

Welcome To The Experts!
Please tell me what kind of animals I managed to find in the apartment?

red cockroach larvae and beetles... presumably Alphitobius diaperinus, which would have to be seen better to be more precise.

Yes, they are such beetles... I don't know what to do. We live on the top floor of a 9-story building, the second floor is shedding water and our ceilings are in a disgusting state. Cockroaches are constantly poisoned, but in vain... They didn't seem to meet much in the house, more often on the balcony. And now they've found this thing in bed... How to deal with them?
