Bug problem! Help needed

Pinkblue19

Hi,
2 days ago we noticed on our window sill and back door (both at the back of the house) they were covered in tiny black bugs (they are very small so I apologise if the image is no good!) Does anyone have any ideas on what they are/how to get rid of them? We keep washing them away even used bleech but they come back with a vengeance pretty quickly

Thunder bugs

As common name suggests, it's the weather for them

No doubt a million ways to get rid, or just live with them until the weather changes

How about the sticky yellow fly traps?

Would be just as interested in finding a solution! They’re driving me insane!

Thank you! I will do some research on Google to see how I can get rid of them.  Really appreciate your help 😊

Tell me about it! They are driving me absolutely  crazy. Can't have back door open without them getting in and dont want to sit outside!

I have a good solution. wait a couple of days until the weather changes. Thrips and humid weather go hand in hand. Oddly we have none around here. I had a laptop and a couple got into the screen which put a different complextion on dead pixels. You can't get rid of them. I suppose you could hire a plane and dust a wide area with insecticide but you would find there will be complaints and a jail sentence.

Thank you, hopefully they will !!!!!! off soon!! I've been reading about them going into laptop screens and TVs, I'm really hoping they don't start coming inside - having to keep the back door and window constantly shut 😔
Haha the plane idea may be my only plan if they are still here next week...
