    I have small 3mm beatles in paper,wood and books. I don't know how to get rid of them.
    They don't seem to eat through into wood, just live on it.They are small, black and move fast.If you know what they are, please tell me.

    All the DIY stores sell products for dealing with those fellers. I had them setting up home in a corner beam of my roof (lots of little holes). The treatment is not particularly expensive, and so I bought a 5 litre can of it with severe overkill in mind:D
