Bug Out

Near my sliding glass door and on my bathroom wall, I will occasionally find these tiny, nasty bugs.  I can't figure out what they are.  They don't fly.  They don't jump.  All they do is gross me out and leave a black smudge on my wall when I kill them.  They are so small you would never notice them unless you have critical hyper-detail-catching eyes like I do.  I hate these intruders.  In general, I am not a big fan of bugs.  As I have been googling this insect, I have begun to itch and imagine them crawling all over me.  I don't know why no one seems to be able to identify these little bastards.  I'm including a picture, in case any readers have an entomology degree and would like to help me out.  After we identify them, I will also need help with how to get rid of them without poisoning any children or animals that live with me.  

This is the closest my camera would get to the bugs since it can't do anything right these days.  I realize these pictures are ridiculous because the bug appears to be a tiny dot.  You might also notice the fine quality of Charmin Ultra toilet paper I buy.  What can I say?  I have money and I like to flaunt it.  P.S. don't judge me for the decapitated Tigger figurine in the background of the second picture.  I had to make an example out of him.

  1. Lily, this is Blake I don't know what kind of bug they are it's hard to tell not being there. But, to kill them I would go to you local ACE hardware ok any hardware and buy ortho home defense max, it is safe for kids and pets spray around the area, let it dry before kids and pets go back on, it should work just fine killing them. If not do a second coat in like a week. But the first should work
