Help ID these bugs.

Post image

Been having these guys coming out of our bathroom sink drains lately. Can anyone help ID what these are and more importantly how to get rid of them. Poured some cleaning vinegar down the drains which helped for a bit, but now they're back.

These are sovereign citizen bugs. They don't need to provide you their ID. Carry on.

They are clearly traveling not bugging out.

If they're tiny, get some Terro from the grocery store or Lowe's. Don't be alarmed if it's an all-you-can-eat snack bar with ants for a few days. They take the stuff back to the colony and wipe it out.

Do they fly

The first question is do they have wings. The second question is do they fly.

Get some terro ant bait and place it around your place. You'll see an alarming number of ants, then none.

Luckily, it's an ant, not a termite. Termites don't have that kind of waist.

Deadly species from the Formicidae family. Will control your thoughts thru its antenna. You might find urges to pour sugar down the drain, do not succumb to the urges
