Answer 1

its a roach kill them lol idk

Answer 2

Little critters get in the house from very tiny cracks in the foundation or exterior wall cracks. It's not a reflection on your house or housecleaning, it just happens.

I'd recommend looking on another kind of website that deals with natural pest control - rather than poisons/pesticides - especially since it is found in your bedroom. You don't need 8 hours a nite of exposure to chemical yuck.

There are weird, but cool solutions to some things like ants hate the smell of bay leaves. Some bugs hate smells like vinegar. Cats hate the smell of orange peel.

One safe way to combat them is to use borax powder along the baseboards of your room, in a plastic bottle that you can squeeze to blow powder in the cracks. The borax gets in their breathing area and suffocates them. In Texas we get cockroaches (bleh!!). This is real effective on them. Beetles should be killled by this also.

Good luck!

if its 2mm, then is it bed-lice? if not then its just some sort of beetle. harmless, do u live in an area surrounded by lots of trees, or is you garden over-grown? thats causing their population to multiply and they are coming into your room.

i doubt its due to un-hygine as beetles don't come in due to dirt.

although there is a possibilty, so clean up your house (vacuum it, if its tiling sweep it with water and mild house hyperchlorate - belach). and change your bedsheets every other day.

make sure you are not leaving food behind, or even any crumbs in your bed.

make sure you clean the corners of your room and everything. check behind desks for any sort of holes or "nests" [sounds nasty i know]

if its too much problem and they are not going away, then call pest control, and tell them to use the strong pesticide, not the mild one. also, consult with the pest control what sort of pesticide to be used, according to what sort of insect it is.

tell them to especially spray alot in the corners.

No idea how to get rid of them and they sort of show up randomly. Maybe bring a sample to an exterminator and have them take a look. The bugs cannot be sanitary and it's better to ahve someone who KNOWs what they're talking about let you know how to deal with them.

Answer 16

get an exterminator and i wouldnt trust being in my room anymore with that many bugs..is your house old?? look up what kind of bug it is, what time of year they come out. and if they are harmful at all..

Answer 17

It is a beetle of some type, (judging from the picture), although I do not know exactly which one it is.

I do know many which it is NOT including any of the woodworm beetles, roach, or the Japanese beetle.

The Japanese beetle is 8-11mm so it is much too large.

The one you describe is more the size of a ladybug, aka (ladybird).

I can say that unless you live in an air-tight box which you never leave, you will never stop a few uninvited guests from entering your house occasionally.

There are many ways that creatures can gain access, and many more for insects.

Every time you open your door, or a window an insect can fly or crawl in.

All beetles (including water beetles) are capable of flight.

The fact that you normally do not see them in flight is because it requires much more energy to fly than it does to walk.

Other common ways that creatures gain access, are through any gap (the bottom of doors is probably the most often overlooked source).

Any chimney which is not in use.

Any utility service (electric, gas, water, phone), is a potential point of entry if not completely sealed.

Vents in the attic, or under the eaves, or gaps in the soffits, etc...

You mentioned having a cat.

If the cat goes outdoors, this is also another source for entry.

I have two dogs and a cat, and have found all sorts of things on my bed and furniture including slugs and snails which one of them was responsible for tracking into the house.

This was not deliberate, they simply laid or brushed up against a plant which dropped the critter on their fur and brought it in with them and it eventually dislodged itself where they were laying.

You did not say how many of these you have or find.

It does not sound like an infestation of any kind however.

A few years ago we had a huge population of weevils which covered the outside of the house, and of course many found their way into the house, and a few years before that we had a population explosion of ladybugs/birds.

I simply take the live ones back outside when I find them so they can have a chance of survival.

Do not fear these harmless creatures, if they are related to the ladybug/bird, they could be more beneficial, than just a minor nuisance.

Answer 18

its just a beetle

Answer 19

They come in through your windows. Put   some sage in the window sill and that keeps them out.  They don't hurt anything.

Answer 20

baby cockroaches?

Answer 21

I think those might be one of those beetles that when you step on they let out a really bad odor if not, then my apologies I am not sure what type of bug that is...
