Insect and Spider Identification: Could this be a chigger?, 1 by davidgelb

OK, so an update...we opened our windows and looked on the sills and found a LOT of tiny bugs (I have attached 2 images - same one, just different lighting). I captured some and placed them in rubbing alcohol and have an appointment with an exterminator tomorrow, but just wondering if anyone knows what these might be.

As I try to catch them on an alcohol soaked Qtip, I noticed that although they are normally slow, they can move very quickly and jump.

Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated...my wife and kids are being bitten up really badly!!

Thank you,
David
