I found a very small 8 legged beatle
in my sons ear....and I'm desparately trying to find out what it is.

Its body is paper thing, its a brown/rust color...from a slight distance it looked like a scab on the ear...it has tiny legs, a small white/gray spot on its back...it seems to have great "suction" as it was pretty hard to move..
its probably a little bigger then the diameter of an ink pen....

I've searched the internet and don't see anything similar...can you help.
We live in Idaho, have dogs, cats and
have never seen anything like this before.

There are products that will help repel stink bugs, but these products will not prevent them from landing on your house. Check a selection of products at http://shop.asktheexterminator.com/household-pests.html.

I have noticed that on my sink in my bathroom tiny, tiny black spects, when looking closely they are moving around. What could they be?

i have seen for the past several years a small brown and black beetle type of bug. it is about 1/4" long. the head area and 1/2 way down the body is brown, the bottom 1/2 is black. it has a slightly "hairy" look to it. i used to find them dead in unused cupboards, lately they have been in laundry and near baseboards. i don't think they bite, but don't know for sure. any clue? thanks.

I cannot ID without a clear, sharp photo. If you have one you must communicate via the "Ask a Question" button at the top of the page.
