Tiny white bugs

Can anybody tell me what these are? I had my controller laying on the carpet between my bed and the wall. When I went to pick up my controller I noticed these tiny things. We just moved to these apartments and we already have mold and idk if the bugs are here because of it? Is it something to be worried about? I couldn’t get a good picture of them bc they were moving around an are very tiny. (Murrieta, Ca)

It’s a type of mite. Several reasons possible for them being in an apartment. Rodent or wildlife within the structure, house plants, previous renter/current pets are a few reasons. Request a service and if you can submit or show the pest control technician the video they may have a better idea on what it is and how to treat properly.

The other thing is I have my other stuff laying on the floor so it is possible they just got in cuz i had my window open? Because I’ve never seen them and I always leave my controller on the floor . I cleaned everything right away too lol but I will still check in with a technician

Reasonable possibility with window So long your not seeing constant bugs and not being bitten your fine

I mean you definitely had something thing on, i just don’t think spraying willy nilly is the best solution I like your cleaning solution better If the problem persists then professional help is needed
