Identifying Tiny Flying Black Insects?

I found these insectson my bed recently. They are very tiny like specks of dust, a black colour, and able to fly. And, I think I might have got bitten by them. The bite feels like sharp, piercing pain.

Thank you if anyone could shed a light on what it is, is it harmful, and how to get rid of them. I appreciate all kind advice.

It almost looks like a no see em bug or even a chigger. You can try putting on some mint oil on your skin to stop them from bitting you. I would make a trap or even get some flypaper to try and trap them.

You can check with your local pest control company in your area and see what they recommend to spray them with to get them out of your home.

I had an issue with some like you describe. I placed a small container with some apple cider vinegar and a little bit of liquid soap on a window sill near the bed and they drown themselves in it and all were gone in a couple of days. Good luck.

I filled sink with water and had six bugs in the water in the morning, also put a jar of water by my bed and got a few by morning, so I put jars of water all over the house to catch them

Hi, Did you finally come to the conclusions which bug is it & how did you get rid of it.
I have the same kind of bugs at my place.

Chiggers are mites, and don't fly.

I purchased "Buzz B-Gone," a small indoor electronic zapper (no noise) which can be left plugged in or charged and moved around.
It has a particular light spectrum color (sort of purple) which attracts flying gnats, mosquitoes, etc. It really works. I had one, but ordered 3 more, one for each room.

Today I found an article re drain flies/gnats via google. There is a citrus? non-harmful gel you can buy to treat drains. They also suggested cleaning under stove, refrigerator drain pan, grease filter above cooking stove, treat all drains, food disposal. They say these gnats/larvae like animal fats and decaying organic matter such as in plant pots. The ones I have do "bite," but it didn't hurt but causes itching. I can feel them sort of like a mosquito. Good luck to all.
P.S. I also use human-grade diatomaceous earth (use fine particle mask to cover nose and mouth), Mosquito Bits for treating plant soil (kills larvae). I am a dedicated, no-bug in my house. Mostly because they proliferate, and they make me itch.

I tried this and it did not work. The little buggers did not even go near it.

It could be a gnat or chigger. Spray with an all-purpose insecticide.
