Ok, I'm confused. Are the bugs in the fresh water that goes into the toilet bowl when you flush it...or are they in the pipe between the toilet and black tank.
If in the fresh water, are the bugs also coming out the faucets in the bathroom and kitchen (as mentioned, remove aerator first). If here also, then you really need to sanitize your fresh water system by putting a couple of cups of chlorine in your fresh water tank along with a full tank of water. Turn on pump, and run this solution through each and every faucet (sinks, shower, outside shower, toilet spray, washing machine...etc) that you have in the rv until you can smell the chlorine. Let it set for 12 hours and then drain, refill tank and run new fresh water through out the rv again. You might have to do this a couple of times until you can no longer smell the chlorine.
If only in the pipe between the toilet and black tank, see my previous reply.
Hope this helps
