Computer bugs...for reals.

Computer bugs have infested one of our intern laptops.

[@WilliamDaugherty]

Good article on how to deal with these creatures: bugwiz.com/get-rid-of-computer-mites/#:~:text=The%20most%20common%20laptop%20bugs,shaped%20body%20with%20tiny%20legs

Have you managed to get rid of them? If yes what did you do? I am currently dealing with these and not just that they are disgusting but also annoying... I have a whole city of them living in my laptop... Please response

@@cappye_rl read the article in the link above. Lots of good information on how to get rid of them.

These things never die. I think they'd still be around after an atomic explosion.

[@jotm2229]

Cockroaches were still around even after the meteor that killed the dinosaurs and lots of life with it hit Earth.

I was going crazy because I had the same thing happen, I thought I wasn't being clean enough with my space but nope, turns out bird mites from the nest outside my window decided to make themselves at home. Those bastards bite too. Anyways I turned my entire room inside out and got rid of these pests but it took me a while to realize that they were specifically bird mites. 💀

[@smugpug3093]

This comment actually helped a lot for me! I have the same problem too. I recently started getting them yesterday, cleaned, then the next night they like multiplied! I had a lot on me too, but none of them bit me. Coincidentally there's a new family of birds that decided to build their nest pretty close to my windows lmao. It's gotta be them or rodents.

[@mirela7901]

Clearly are dust mites. I struggled a lot with these tiny insects as you can't get rid of them. They love humidity and appear during winter. Just check all your other furniture as they multiply very quickly and spread all over your house.

[@serenemountain6769]

DUST MITES ! so true ! : ) How to fix it : I. Buy Tee Tree Oil, II. Buy a Sprinkler ~750ml and add 3/4 water III. add to solution 10 to 15 drops of Tea Tree Oil, Add Pure Alcool and or Apple Cider to fill that 1/4 ,shake it IV. use it to clean the Desk ( or any Furniture from where the dust mites are coming from ) This kills them VI. In the near Future if one has the money for it I. Buy a Dehumidifier, turn it on II. Use your vacuum cleaner in your desk once a week Do not use the solution on electronic devices ! Instructions To make them leave your PC, Turn it on, or use a Hair Dryer ! The Problem , they will spread to your whole House !

Or mold mites

[@Gadavillers-Panoir]

Dust mites are even smaller, these are probably mould mites.

[@RR-SF]

I do laptop repairs and have seen this two times. Once I see them I bag up the laptop and send back to customer as “no fix”. I’d rather lose money on the repair than have a bug infestation in my work place.

[@DelNiceBeto]

I worked at a place that would put laptops into an industrial oven at low temperature 120 if I remember correctly and that seemed to kill them just fine with out damaging the computer

I had a small amount of these in my old laptop. I have no idea where they came from, how they or their eggs got there in the first place or what they are 🤣

Sorry to hear it. Check out the information in the BugWiz link I shared in the pinned post. That's your best bet. Good luck!

Their dust mites they eat dust

[@Jashin325]

Close but no, these are mold mites.

[@christopheryoung1878]

Got to vacuum the keyboard often. Skin flakes are a feast to these guys. I've got bed bugs in the vents of my laptop, I think. Got to find the strongest vacuum I can. mites skin flakes turns up a lot of pictures of mites feasting on skin flakes.

[@laurabarjamy8678]

I have black mould in my room and can't clean it. I don't have the money to buy or support the electrical bill for a humidifier. Its everywhere on my pc wardrobe desk flore books make up shoes walls. I put my clean clothes in a bag to avoid contamination. It a nightmare we brought a specialist and said that the humidity in my room is 90% and that i will start having helth issues if we don't fix it . Currently sick 3 weeks

[@genghis_connie]

They are mold mites.

[@justbe3822]

Let me guess, a mite for everything...what is that a electronic mite? creepy. washing my hands now!

[@WilliamDaugherty]

I have no idea what they were. Never seen them before or since. I personally never touched the laptop.

[@manssupar]

shit i got same problem, they really love electronic device.. it get more worse if u got damp humidty

[@bryanbetancourt8888]

Don't eat on computers

[@nildamariekroghandersen5228]

They are eating the dust. Those mites are probably also in your bed.

[@_theBeast]

Do they leave after all the dust is gone

[@cyanide6788]

@@_theBeast having the same problem? Well i do first relax cause this mites can't damage any electronics cause there too small anyway the only solution i got is dust off tables or your pc or whatever you see this mites on they might come back if there's a build up of dust again but just maintain everything dust free

[@_theBeast]

@@cyanide6788 i only saw 3 on my computer and I got them off and I know it was probably from the plant I left it by but haven't seen any more since I killed the 3 I saw

They are inside of my keyboard right now is there a way to get them out

[@WilliamDaugherty]

Honestly I don't know. This was an old machine that we have long since recycled. I would think maybe freezing them?

[@midnightoblivions1427]

@@WilliamDaugherty I found out that Google said that they are dust mites and they live off of crums in your computer or skin particles. And to use venigar because it's toxic to them and that's what I did so I'm gunna give it a day in till I check on it again. Also the another reason why they are on your computer is because it is warm for them
