Lots of tiny caterpillars in my bedroom.?

Question

well, i went on holiday and my mum was here, when i came back, my mum said there was lots of tiny caterpillar-like bugs everywhere, so when i looked there was lots of caterpillar things, some black and some brown.

they are about 1-2 mm and they run a tiny bit fast.

can any one tell me what these are, and what to do with them?

(idon't have any indoor plants, and i live in scotland)

Answer 1

they are the larvae of the clothes moth (totally insipid looking moths a bit silvery in colour) - they lay their eggs in clothes and stuff and then their babies wreck them (strangely enough i noticed some in my house today and told everyone here to squash every one they saw!!) - hoovering helps, but if you don't hoover carpets under your bed (which most people don't) then they'll do it under there...

Answer 2

Moth larvae. Get rid fast...they'll eat ALL your clothes! Go yo chemist and ask....or if you have any lavender plants around sprinkle it or spray lavender oil around.
