How do you get rid of tiny black mites?
Wash all bedding, clothing, and towels in hot water, as mites can live on fabric. Vacuum carpets, furniture, and other areas thoroughly to remove mites, eggs, or any debris. Consider using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. Use mite-proof covers for bedding or pillows if dust mites are suspected. Launder all bedding, including pillowcases, throws, and duvet covers, every 1-2 weeks in hot water (130-140 degrees Fahrenheit). If your problem is severe, consider washing curtains and cleaning upholstery as well. Hot water effectively kills mites and removes allergens from bedding.
What to add to soil to keep bugs away?
Incorporating neem cake or neem oil into your soil can protect your plants from soil-dwelling pests. Additionally, using a neem oil and water mixture as a foliar spray can effectively deter pests like aphids, caterpillars, beetles, and mites that target plant foliage. Neem Oil is your go-to for any small pests. Garlic powder on the dirt works (kinda. I’d like something better) for caterpillars. Cinnamon on the dirt is just good for rooting, and can deter some earwigs/slugs/snails/aphids.
How to get rid of tiny bugs that look like specks of dirt?
Diatomaceous earth is a natural remedy that helps kill many types of tiny bugs. Keeping your house clean and clutter-free also deters bugs by removing their places to feed and hide.

By taking steps to reduce the humidity in your home, you’ll prevent mold formation and kill off those tiny bugs.
