We had larder beetles, they're nothing to worry about. A quick google search will tell you what to do. From what I can remember we just cleared the cupboards out, cleaned them inside and swept away the bugs. After a week or two we filled the cupboards again. Job done!0

Can anyone help?
When we took up the carpet in the kids room we found these small beetle type things.
They are about 10mm in length and 5mm wide with a hardish shell that is dark coloured with a light brown stripe running across the middle of it.
Anyone care to suggest what these are?0 -

And I was stupid enough to look at the pics. Hope I don't have nightmares tonight!0
