Can you help me identify these bugs and what to do to get rid of them?

nswer this Hometalker's question!
Not sure, can't really see them clearly enough. I started getting mites and ants in my pantry so I cleaned the shelves then put boric acid around the edges (near the walls) in a very thin line (I used a business card to do this). This seems to have helped keep them out. Also, I put things like rice, spaghetti and flour in jars instead of leaving them in the bags and boxes.
Can't really see the bugs. I have used food grade diatomaceous earth for a few years now. It's a naturally occurring powder that kills insects. When the insects crawl over it they get little cuts on their undersides. The bugs dehydrate and die. Make sure it is food grade as this is safe for animals and humans. You can get it on Amazon. Have to reapply if it gets wet.
If I were you,I'd get a close up shot of them & go down to a feedstore,they should be able to tell you. Well mine would anyways not sure where you're located. Good luck
Can’t really see them but to me they look like ghost ants.
pick up a few of them with clear tape and take them to a green friendly bug exterminator for identification.
Can't really tell what they are, the picture is too broad, I'd need a close-up of them.., but I can tell you that ghost ants are very tiny and hate cinnamon, so cleaning your cabinet (top, side, underside and flat edge) and then edging your cabinet with powdered cinnamon (don't use the good stuff, go to the dollar store and buy it there) and that may work for other insects as well. It get's into their cuticles and drys it out so they won't cross the powder. Since it's actually food, you won't have to worry about poison around your dishes, etc.
Maybe carpet beetles?
Too small to tell! But this is going to sound crazy! But we use to havethese little bugs of some kind in our kitchen cabinets. I never had to use baby formula with my kids! But was given a half can of baby formula powder kind and for reason the lid came off and I noticed that the bugs had gone into the can and died! So I just left it in the pantry just like that.
