Could the mites you mention be Louse Flies which are common Swifts? I used to live in apartment with many Swifts nesting under roof and a lot of these small unkillable critters (could survive being stepped on) crawled through cracks in the walls. They are not charming.

- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoI can't tell exactly anymore? I just remember standing next to the vet, while she picked them off of it on a table with tweezers. Under bright lights and a looking/magnifying glass on a flexible arm. They've been maybe a millimeter long, at max. 2mm ? I could barely see them, if not for the bright lights and they being black brownish on a white sheet. edit: This had to be the summer of 1981, 1982 or 1983, not later.
