Asked September 16, 2021, 9:12 AM EDT

I’m just wondering if anyone might know what bug this is? They are very small max size a grain of rice and range from almost translucent to darker brown. They are in every room in our brand new house and tend to be seen on window sills scrutiny boards and walls

It's difficult to tell from the image since I can't see much detail, but I would guess it's a psocid. You can find more information including control here:
