    I need help identifying a very small white ant like bug that is in the house. It seems like a small termite. I have not caught any yet (I keep squishing them)
    If anyone can give some advice or tell me where to go to id this little fella, it would be appreciated

    We've been to google images and it's definitely not a bed bug or a dust mite. We have to 'capture' one and try to get a picture. (Although they are not very photogenic ;-) They are very small though.
    Are there any web site that list common insects/pests?

    Where in the house are you finding them? Is it in the kitchen? Bathroom?
