Household bugs

We live in a rather new home built in 2001. We have encountered small bugs that have attacked flour, spices in jars, saltine crackers etc. in our kitchen cabinets. These bugs are very tiny. Is there somewhere we can send one of them to be analyzed and to find a remedy to rid them from our home. Thanks, Dan

Hi Dan, It sounds like you may have some grain beetles. You may go to your nearest Cook County Extension office to have them verify insect identification and suggest control methods.
