Hi, I have a bunch of these tiny black bugs that make their way into my bathroom in the summer. This is the 2nd year it has happened. I clean up about 20 of them per day. Can someone help me identify them and recommend how to stop them? Pic link: ibb.co/8gR3xr7 |

Now let's be nice boys and girls. Someone has ask for help, we should not ridicule them.
I would suggest you call an exterminator for a professional opinion. Or, if you know the source or where these little creatures are present, visit a Home Improvement store (Lowe's & Home Depot, etc.) they will gladly help you and make some recommendations.
I personally use a non toxic product "Bug Be Gone". I use it throughout my home, including my kitchen, whenever little pests bugs become a problem..
I also use "Ant Traps" which are safe and very effective, even around my Kitchen.
I also use them in my collection Room and work room/office.
Of course there are times when pest can be annoying and not phased by my efforts. That is when I visit "Me Casa", my favourite Mexican restaurant. A couple of beef Chimichungas with extra refried beans, and I can clean out the house. Even my cats run for cover. I even caused a neighbor to call the county to investigate a sewer leak. Now that effective pest control.
If none of that works, email me at: Leptraps@aol.com. I will see what I can do to help.
Now that boys and girls is what I call helpful.

I suspect that they all have one thing in common - they are looking for a humid place - hence they end up in the bathroom. Adam. |

By the way, there is a good chance that they are attracted to light and fly to the window if you leave your light on in the bathroom at night.

Greetings,
I agree with Adam - there are at least four different taxa in the picture and to me, they all appear to be species of beetles. When you have a diversity of species in a situation like this, it's likely they are coming to lights. Even a small tear in a screen is enough to allow lots of little critters into the house.
Unfortunately, the image is not clear enough to be able to ID anything. If you could upload pics with better closeup shots, I might be able to get something at least to family level. BTW - where are you located?
Cheers!
Bandrow
