RE: Insect in CPAP machine?
Call an exterminator or buy some flea bombs. They kill everything. Remove your CPAP and mask from any room to be treated and put it in the car.

RE: Insect in CPAP machine?
As a South Carolina native I saw many different critters in the house over the years. What you are seeing could be any of a number of things, most benign but some not so. Best to get an exterminator to take a look, preferably under a magnifying glass or microscope, to tell you exactly what kind they are.
Simplicity is simple, complexity is complex. Don’t confuse the two.

They might be clover mites. I have them on my window sill during the spring time.
