Unidentifiable Bug On Boxes #755149
Asked June 09, 2021, 5:53 PM EDT
I recently noticed these tiny white bugs that have now infested my house. They love Boxes, cotton, walls, couches & even my sink. They are fuzzy & seem to have proteusions like legs. They don't seem to fly they float & join together 1 on top of the other. When you try tp pick up they emit some kind of oily residue. As you pull 1 you're unstacking up to 10 others with it. I received a box from Amazon today & immediately could see they were stuck to the box and the tape. I will try to add a pic but my I'm so frustrated. I had an exterminator come out & he said it looked like dust. He didn't have a magnifying glass or any tool to help. Again, I'm infested. Every single room in my house. I'm a clean freak so this is getting me upset. Could someone pls help. At my wits end.
