Found a few of these guys scurrying around when I lifted something from the windowsill. This one is maybe 1mm max, a few others were smaller. Any ideas?

Maybe one of those Book Lice things, or bird lice? I think it's either one of those. I hope it's Book Lice for the sake of the fact that Bird Lice will use Humans as hosts.

Can't be a termite right? Seems way too small. There was an infestation in that windowsill about a year ago, but haven't seen any more frass since I drilled holes and injected termite foam.

I was going to say, that looks a lot like a termite. 1 mm is so small, though.

And that was one of the bigger ones, if even a full 1mm. Looks and sounds a lot like booklice though, which are harmless.

Yeah I have booklice all over in some of my colonies. They're just more cleanup bugs, as they eat fungus.
