Recently I found 2 tiny tiny white/tan colored bugs in my Vegas home. They were on a table in the living room. Then I found one on the kitchen counter.

I thought they were just some pesky little bug.. No big deal. Well we went on vacation 2000 miles away, and I found 2 on my pillow!! They are so tiny but I can definitely notice them. I'd venture to say most people wouldn't notice them, which is making it hard to identify.

I'm wondering if anyone else in las vegas has ever experienced these things. I'm guessing they traveled with us. They are white/cream/tan in color, very very tiny, next to invisible to the naked eye, they look to have many legs. They don't seem to have a 3 part body, although they might because they are just so small and we can't tell. They have feelers, albeit tiny feelers.

I really hope someone can help. Thank you in advance.

It almost sounds like dust mites. They are super tiny, and most people just can't see them. Your best bet would be to magnify it, get a photo of the magnification, and then do an image search for what it looks like. Dust mites love beds, pillows, carpets.

Why the crisis? Have you seen dozens more crawling on you? Last night I had a huge cockroach climbing on my back. I wouldn't give a second thought to a couple small white bugs. And no, I don't live in a dump. I actually put down bay leaves throughout my kitchen which naturally repel roaches and the ones left here seem to have run into my bedroom now.

If you want to repel them. Just clean your kitchen and bathroom often with pine oil cleaner. If you want to kill them. Bait them with boric acid treats.

I agree with jfk---bed bugs. I believe they are white/transluscent unless gorged. Very, very small.

Bed bugs are dark brown, aren't they? I hear they get imported in between the spaces of wicker furniture.
