Question by Matt: What are these Small Flying Brown Insects on my closet walls?
They are about 1/3 of an inch in length. No long antennas. They fly. When not flying they look like a long slim piece of rice, but light brown. They are a slim in length shape. Their color is close to a caramel color, but maybe light browner. Really close to the middle layer of this toffee: http://www.coraleecandies.com/marketplace/images/productphotos/toffee.jpg

There was one, then I killed it, then there two and I kill them, then there were 3 and I killed them. It seems to stay steady between 1-3 per day that I wake up too. They don’t get on my clothes, they are either on the ceiling or the walls and they seem to just migrate to my closet.

I’d really like to know what these are so that I can prevent a big breakout of them. I live in utah in the downtown area. I’ve never seen these bugs outside on the walls of the condominium building. I am really confused to what they are.

I have had cedar balls in my closet for a while now(months). Also a cedar block hanging. These don’t look like moths, their wings are much slimmer than a moth.

    Well, I don’t know what kind of bug that is, but I think you can get rid of them.

    Empty the closet of everything. Then wipe it down with vinegar. After this, spray it with something stinky, but non-toxic, such as full-strength vinegar or a strong-smelling air freshener. I wouldn’t use Raid because it’s toxic and you’ll want to put your clothes back in the closet eventually. I also wouldn’t use Clorox. It not only stinks, it could end up bleaching your clothes. It also leaves salt crystals behind. Moth balls are also toxic, so I would avoid these, as well. I would stick with either vinegar or air freshener.

    I’m sure it will take more than one spraying, but I would spray the closet at least once a day until the bugs are dead.

    Good luck.
