How to get rid of these little crawlies?

We suddenly found these little crawlies around a wooden cabinet we got from Nitori. This is the first time we have seen them. I was wondering if anybody knows how to get rid of them permanently. Thank you so much!

They look a little like wood mites...they're typically as a result of damp wood (maybe a post-summer humidity issue?) Apparently boric acid is a natural way of trying to deal with them, which I've also used for ants with some success. I don't think I can attach an image to my answer, but the brand we used was in a red and white box.

Ooh, they look pesky. Sorry, I am not familiar with these particular creepy crawlies. I hope you got rid of them.

Did you feel the December 8th earthquake?

There was a large earthquake off the coast of Aomori Prefecture at 11.15 pm on December 8th 2025. We are approximately 700 kilometers from the epicenter, yet we felt it very strongly. Did you feel it and how far away (roughly) are you from the epicenter?

What Chiba places, cuisine, events, experiences enrich your Japan life?

The Chiba Prefecture government's international affairs division invites foreign resident volunteers to share the Chiba spots we love. I can't attend because of work obligations, but I can share your faves by email. What in Chiba lit you up - food, shops, nature, festivals, events, and experiences? Conversely, what didn't work out or confounded you? Photo tax - irises at Noda City's Sogo Park.
