Help, I have bugs!!!

Question

Ok, maybe there ticks i dont know i need help, they are black little 6 legged bugs with antennas kinda like a carpenter ant with the 2 seperations of the body but more rounded like a tick. But everytime i look at a pic of a tick they seem to be one round body. I just moved into this house and they just started showing up and they are ALL OVER!! they are about the size of a carpenter ant but like i said they are rounder. i catch them on the ceilings and floors and in cracks and sometimes i catch them on crumbs of food that i miss (usually something sweet)....do ticks eat food? or do you think its some other bug?? its almost like attack of the bugs or something, its dark here and i just walked out on my porch and they are everywhere!!

Answer 1

try to spray all the parts of your house with some kind of bug spray

Answer 2

Tics have 8 legs like spiders but the front pair can be mistaken for antenna.  There are no ticks I know of that are as big as a carpenter ant even when engorged.  There is lots of insects out this time of year and the information you have provided does not even let me classify it to one order.  Do they have wings? What kind of antenna?  Do they have a pointed snout? Do they have a hard outer shell? Tape it with your finger. How many inches long is little? What state & what is the type of area you live in? urban area or woods?  Maybe it is a carpenter ant that is different from where you lived before.
