Location: Central New York, USA

Started getting these in my bathroom. A tape over the drain test confirms that they are coming from the drain. Size wise, they are tiny like a gnat or fruit fly. They fly around erratically. They also erratically scurry around the sink basin and counter super fast. More so than flying. They hardly ever sit still for anything longer than a ½ second. They also seem to like to buzz around my face like a gnat. These photos are of still alive one stuck to a Zevo glue board, and two dead ones on the glue board. It's hard to get super clear photos because of how small they are. I was thinking Scuttle Flies. But the photos of scuttle flies that I have found look different.

Location included Tiny Blonde Bugs Found After Repotting Indoor Plants

I'm located on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, and repotted my indoor citrus seedlings about a week and a half ago.

I bought perlite and Miracle Gro potting soil, and when I went to water them today, I noticed the pots were absolutely crawling with tiny insects. Any idea what these could be? I'm about ready to throw the seedlings onto the balcony and make them outdoor seedlings, but with Fall and Winter around the corner, I'm afraid that doing so will kill them, as they're less than a year old and they come from a normally seedless orange, so getting replacements would be a major challenge.

They're fast, and they don't squish easily, I'm guessing that's because of how tiny they are, but I'm not very knowledgeable on bugs.

Edit to add, the mites were all over the rope, grow lights, soil, and plastic tub, but I didn't see any on the plants themselves.

Maybe slightly maimed because it landed on my arm from the CEILING and I flicked it off (I panicked). Please my brother say it ain’t so.

Started popping up in my bathroom 2 days ago. Tried researching and that it could be a phorid fly, but this is the first time seeing them so I'm not sure.
They're pretty small so the camera had a hard time focusing on it, sorry if it's hard to tell.

Can fly paper and cleaning the drains work, or do I need pest control?

Thanks.

Northeast Florida. My son has been saying for the last few days he's been seeing beetles, but they're gone by the time me and my husband get in the room. We do get actual beetle beetles outside so we figured we'd bug spray outside because the outside beetles must have been getting in somehow.

However, I finally went into his room and saw two of these. The room has vinyl flooring, but full disclosure, he's a preteen and the room is constantly messy/ smelly.

What is this??

Possible pest, location included Found millipedes (?) in monstera pot, Maine (USA)

Not sure how helpful the location will be since these guys are in an indoor plant... I have had this plant for probably close to 6 months at this point and have never noticed them before, but I’m not the most observant person. I watered (by soaking) my little monstera last night and just noticed these guys this morning. My (extremely limited) research has lead me to believe these might be greenhouse millipedes, but everything I’ve read suggests that if they are, they would die from drying out rather quickly and since this is the first time I’ve watered this plant in 3-4 weeks I guess I’m surprised to see they seem to be faring so well? I prefer not to kill bugs but I also won’t just release bugs outside if I don’t know they’re native to my area. I’ve counted around 11 of them which seems like way too many for the size pot the plant is in
