I found them last night on my bed stand and on jarred candles. They are visable with the naked eye which makes me think they are not dust mites. Under a magnifying glass they appear to be black and cream colored. From far away they look like moving specks of dust. They seem to be taking over and now I don’t know how to get rid of them.

1Oh good heavens, how I so hate theses creatures. Please follow these simple cleaining rules and your problems should be settled rather quickly ! !
Vacuum and dry-clean draperies. If possible, purchase machine-washable drapes to save time and money.
Wash stuffed animals and keep them off the bed.
Cover cloth furniture with slipcovers and mattresses and pillows with allergen barriers so they can be cleaned regularly.
Choose wood or other smooth flooring, rather than carpeting, especially in bedrooms. Dirt and dust is easier to see, making it easier to clean.
Trade in your traditional cloth mattress for a waterbed. Dirt and dust will be easier to see and clean on the vinyl. Use a damp cloth to clean and wipe dry.
If you can write your name in it, it’s too late. Dust regularly.
Good Luck,
Isabel

3They are not dust mites as you cannot see dustmites. Could be baby spiders hatching?? You can get up to 1000 + miniscule baby spiders hatching at once… and they can be almost impossible to see they are so small…. so might appear to be mites. (look for the empty sack close by.)
Fumigate the room with flea bombs such as Mortein brand. Flea bombs are spraycans you set to go off and then you leave the room for a couple of hours, then open all windows and vaccuum. Flea bombs kill everything from fleas to cockroaches and spiders, mites, for 3 to 9 months depending on the type you buy. Because they work through fumigation, they will touch every space in your room.
