My ancient tablet has bugs in it. They are very tiny and scurry around under the glass, making me think I am seeing things, because they do not react to squishing. Somewhere between glass and screen they trek over the surface, tiny antenna bristling looking for who knows what.

I might have to stop charging the thing near the kitchen bench...

Try leaving it overnight next to a teaspoon of sugar water.

My skin is crawling, how repulsive. Maybe they are bed bugs?? The mind boggles.

Lol, bugs are everywhere, and like clean as much as the next species so stop with the aspersions on my housewifery!

These are teeny critters, way too small to identify. I am just intrigued by how they survive in there. Maybe its the warmth...

They're probably spots on your eyes lol

Ants or spider mites if even smaller...never mind, they'll leave or die.

I actually spotted the beasties early in the morning, before I put in my contacts. So no, real bugs...

Dust mites perhaps.

Put it in a box with a cloth liberally squirted with flyspray, leave overnight in warm area. Allow to effuse.

Alternately, put in airtight sealed vessel and freeze overnight, DO NOT open container upon removing from freezer but allow to sit for another four hours or so to let it come back to room temperature. Only then, open.
