Tiny black, non-flying bugs

Started finding tiny bugs, primarily in the sink areas. They are about the size of a pin head.

Any idea what they are and how to get rid of them?

Tks in advance.

They have been plentiful here in the hills of WV. Perhaps this will explain more and give you a head start on research:

They also live in the black tank. A couple of good tank rinse outs usually gets rid of them.

Too big for the weevil bug. Probably the size of a pin head.

Only see them in the kitchen and bedroom sink (2011; 3400rl). Would they migrate from the black tank to these areas?

Tks in advance.

Lots of stuff for critters to feed on in the grey tanks. Wouldn't be surprised if they were living in there. You may want to try flushing the grey tanks a few times. Few people actually flush their grey tanks as well as the Black. Lots of people just leave the knife valve(s) open and never have enough liquid to fully flush the tank.

The weevil bugs are actually the size of ticks. A lot of people here thought there was an infestation of ticks, so much so that the local news had to explain otherwise.
