I'm thinking it's more likely to be a cockroach (which absolutely gives me the creeps), I also just looked at a picture and I think that's what they are... EWWWWW...but at least if it's not a grain bug then I know my food is safe (most of my food is stored in rubbermaids.)
That and I haven't seen any in the kitchen. The little creepers keep showing up every 5 days or so, which really makes me think that they're coming from the wall.
I'm not moving in one truck, cause I'm just moving down the road, but I'm not using card board boxes (I have about 20 rubbermaids) so I guess my plan will be to Javex (bleach) everything as it leaves. YUCK.
Can the little buggers get in my couch and chairs and stuff? Should I be concerned? The only main furniture that is coming with us are our two arm chairs (on fabric and one leather) and my matress. everything else is machine washable, and will be freshly washed upon moving. BLECH.
When I'm packing, if I sterilze the rubbermaid and sterilize everything in it, they shouldn't be able to get in right? I don't want to transport the little buggers to my new place.

It is gross, but it's not your fault. If I remember correctly, I think they like dark and maybe damp places. I don't think it would be likely to see them in your couch and chairs, but if they're cockroaches they can't get in your mattress unless it has openings. They are easily recognizable by their long antennae. Their antennae are about an inch long. Good luck to you!
