Question
It started in the laundry room. I thought it was nothing, just a few tiny whitish/yellowy bugs. They just look like a piece of dirt until you blow or touch it, then they run around. I have seen more and more, and they've moved to my room, the storage room and the bathroom - they're pretty much infesting my whole basement. Help! What are they? Thank you,
Erin
Answer
Without a photo or sketch, it's impossible to identify them. They might be booklice - try googling "booklice" and see if that's what they are. Booklice are totally harmless unless you are a book, wallpaper, dry dogfood, or glue. If that's not what they are, catch a few and look at them with a magnifying glass. Count the legs, then start googling.
If that fails, take a bag with a few of them to your local pest control operator or university biology department. Good luck.
