Hi,
I have emailed a pest control team but no response yet. I am freaking out. I keep finding these tiny almost transparent with a orangey tinge mites/lice around my skirting boards in the house.
its not an overly old house, but renovated it completely just over a year ago.
there aren’t hundreds of the little things but enough to freak me out.
ill try and insert pictures.
oh and yes my house is clean, i hoover and dust often (hoover about 10 times a day with a 2 year old)!!

Can't tell much from those pictures.

Do you have house plants?

I have just squished one that was on my sons skirting board too

I do yes but not in my living room or my sons room where I’ve seen them

Again. That's just a blob!

Have you had a lot of rain recently?

And check your plants, just because they're not in the same room doesn't mean they're not the source.

Yes lots of rain recently, live east in England!
i may put my plants outside for now!
giving me anxiety though and making my skin crawl!

Hi, did you ever get rid of these? I’m honestly going mental over these things!

Hiya, I still see them some times and so I spray the skirtings with bug spray keeps them away for a while. iM unsure what it is, we have wooden logs in the fireplace so possibly from them
