Look for the carpet bug larvae.

Tiny red bugs in carpet.

If you find signs of the tiny black bugs around your food discard cereals grains flour and other items from the locations where you see an infestation. They are harmless they are popular in the spring and fall they are an annoyance and they take over an area with a very large infestation. I have the exact problem almost every one of the descriptions match. Some female bugs such as bed bugs lay up to five eggs daily.

Adults have 8 legs and nymphs have 6 legs. These are newly hatched carpet bugs that will be around 1 8 of an inch long and covered in coarse hairs almost like a caterpillar. I have had them for about a month about i have nearly 100 horrible red bites all over my arms legs and abdomen. Some characteristics that set red bugs apart are the following.

Check all food storage areas cabinets and pantries and garage and basement storage areas for live carpet beetle adults and larvae and for shed skins. Others such as fleas can lay 2 000 eggs. Also in the carpet were white orange and occasionally brown yellow eggs. They only eat grass and weeds.

Measure around 1 millimeter in length. Now mind you they are tiny they don t bite they can t hurt a thing. Don t ever skip looking for these as evidence of adults also indicates probable presence of larvae. I think they were tiny specks ingrained eating my carpet.

Vary in color from bright red to orange yellow or light red. Fleas dust mites and bed bugs. We immediately googled what these little red bugs were they are clover mites. Inside a carpet considered immaculate to the human eye is home to bugs.

First clean your pantry.
