I have these tiny white bugs in my room, i had them last year and now they are back again.

The room was steamed only 4-5 months ago, so whatever they are they came back easy.I notice them when i pick up my psp, or camera from my windowsil.. they arent bedbugs cos these things are too small, what can they be? they are like little mites..

how can i get rid of them ? :(, if anyone has good advice or a forum you know i can visit let me know.. if its not enough info i can try getting a pic, but their tiny.
 
We had great big blue bottles come into the house via our bin a few months back. Went around squashing them all. Was easy cos they looked very lazy and didn't fly much. It was only after I'd squased 4-5 of them that I realised great masses of tiny white bugs were squirting out of them all over the place. One of the few bug related things that have made me almost vomit.

By far the most effective way to be rid of silverfish for sure is to keep an area or room tidy, limiting the possible number of breeding grounds they have.
Ensuring showers, baths etc. are rinsed clean and free of any residual toiletries that may attract hungry silverfish.
Leaving the bathroom door open after a shower to lessen the humidity
To capture silverfish, trap in small glass containers -- silverfish cannot climb up the smooth inside walls.
Silverfish can also be caught by sprinkling plaster on a wet white cotton cloth put in a corner overnight, near the silverfish's hideout.
 
If you don't have a dehumidifier get a load of salt and fill a bucket put it in your room where you think the damp area is and it will soak up the moisture.
 
Hi again

they really dont appear to be booklice or silverfish.

I have seen silverfish in the bathroom before but the things in my room seem to only grow so big, like about quarter of a grain of rice roughly.

I'll gladly get a picture but everytime i try my camcorder goes blurry, i dont think it has macro mode.

They do seem to be some type of lice because i seen one on the window and it looked like it had 2 little hairs at the back.. somewhat like a silverfish
