Household PestsApartment Bug – Manhattan NYC
April 12, 2010
Hi Thanks for your help! I live in a newly renovated apartment in Manhattan, New York and keep coming across these bugs. (image attached). I am concerned that they might be ticks or bed bugs? I usually find them crawling the walls, but found a bunch in a light fixture. Any help identifying them or any risk they may pose? Thanks so much!

Hi Bob,
You have a sizable infestation of Spider Beetles, Gibbium aequinoctiale. You should check your stored foods as they often infest items in the pantry.
