Ever since I moved into my new apartment, I've been getting bugs coming
out in my ice from my ice maker. I've let it run and run for days, but
still they seem to be coming out. What are they and is there anything I
can do about them?

There are no visible signs of bugs anywhere else in the refridgerator,
freezer, or kitchen.

well, they would have to be dead bugs in the freezer...cleaning bug bits
from the ice container would be a start. If you are meaning bugs inside
the ice cubes, not able to happen..even if bugs climbed inside the water
flow tube when ever the unit was unplugged, just a few cycles of ice
being made would of cleaned out the hose.

Definately bugs? You didn't say what size can't be sure if it's specs of
something.

Three possibilities that I can think of:
While the apartment was empty, bugs crawled into the water line that is now
hooked to your fridge.
They are not bugs, but bits of carbon from a filter in the line
This is a troll.

Thats not all too bad. Just a little extra protein in your martini.
Much worse was when I made a mixed drink and found my bloody frozen
penis inside an ice cube. Turns out my wife cut me off when I was
drunk the night before.

You can't shout down a troll.
You have to starve them.

Do not clean with vinagar - that will attract tiny fruit flies.

houseplants. I might move my plants and see how that works.

hole in the top makes a good trap. Yet, it does attract them.

How about a couple of photos? Include a ruler in the photos so we can judge the size of your bugs.

no bugs. I think they are not in the ice, they land on the dispenser end
of the ice maker and maybe die there or something, I don't know why. Try
cleaning the dispenser end before getting ice, and/or run a bunch of ice
out and throw it away before filling your glass. That seems to work for me.

off? Very new bugs would survive a freezer and there are few ways
they could get in.
