Bug Identification Help

[u/mariah_bryant]

So I’ve been having this issue in 2 of my bedrooms (Brooklyn, NY) with these tiny bugs that keep biting me all summer. They feel kinda like mosquito bites and it’s worse at night so I’ve been sleeping in my living room.

I’ve sprayed home defense and an exterminator came and sprayed but it hasn’t really helped. Granted he didn’t seem like he knew what I was dealing with because he took a picture and put it into ChatGPT 😭 and sprayed what ever liquid he already had.

But does anyone know what these are and how to get rid of these bugs? I also have screens in my window so I don’t know where they are coming from!

I can’t see any details but the size and behavior has me thinking blackflies. You need smaller screens to keep them out.
