    Hi guys. Basically over past two summers have been finding these bugs/insects in upstairs rooms especially. They are only couple of ml in size with hard type back. I have never seen them fly just slowly move around. Finding them on wooden floors and on skirting boards behind bed! Hoover them up but within days more back. They don't bite either,,no indication of bites. Ant advice welcome.

    Too vague without a picture.

    Shape, colour, number of legs??? It's impossible to even guess without pictures or more details.

    Are they a dull brown colour, about 3 mm long? They could be Woodworm Beetles which emerge from infested timber about this time of the year.....
