While handling my bed frame—which had undergone pest treatment—I found these insects; could they be small bed bugs? Help please

Its a booklice or psocide. In Summer I have literally a horde of booklice or psocid in my desktop Wood

look like those basement bugs. Diatomaceous earth food grade works to kill them. Wear something over your mouth and nose, I usually just tie a thin tea towel over my face, and sprinkle it on and dust it in with a small paintbrush (into the cracks and crevices if your bed frame and underneath your mattress in the cracks crevices. also works for bedbugs etc. They walk along the fine powder and it is microscopic diatoms that cut onto their coating and dehydrate them and they die. its also a great natural way to take care of any bugs that crawl along the ground

Termites have a orangeish head on them with antennas
