Identifying Little Black Bugs?

Identifying Little Black BugsCan anyone help me identify this little bug? I first saw them on the pantry floor and now I find them all over my first floor. The house is only 4 months old. They don't fly, just crawl.

It looks like some kind of beetle. Make sure all food is wrapped up, and check for any moisture or leaks.

WE just moved into our new home in Arizona and I am finding the same bugs crawling on my tile floors in the kitchen and family room. Not in my pantry. Where are these little buggers coming from?

This is a bettle,that goes by many names. The drug store beetle,the pantry bal, cigarette btle,grain bottle ect..the beetles can get in the air vents and returns, where they may also lay eggs. They made have come inside, or were closed inside the house when it was being built. The house materials are exposed to the elements, while being built and no one attends to making sure the are dry before work continues. Also they could be debris in the air

ducts. I have found soda cans cig. Butts,food wrappers,petrified food, and worse in beautiful new house air ducts. So first have a pro, clean your ducts,check for air leaks, and foundation crevices, and get them sealed up. Secondly, Get an air quality/ air exchange test..yes there are companies that do this, because many new homes today are too air tight . Also have mold spores levels and radon tests done, and water quality test. These are not expense but very important. Mold or insects attract mites. There could be a birds nest in your attic, that is a common source of mites. If you have a fireplace wood or gas , make sure the chiminey,or vent pipes are clean,debris free and have a proper venting top. Take info from these tests, get with a
Highly rated exterminator, and deal with what is found. Oooo, sorry...,this is most important task, make sure all rain gutters are thoroughly washed clean and pest sprayed. Make sure there is NO clogs in downspouts and be very sure that all rainwater is directed FAR Away from your foundation and driveway. The Exterminator should also treat the yard with a knockdown pest spray and the foundation, decks, under decks,porches, and entrances with a proper pest protection product. Then get a good cleaner team to do all windows ,and sills,will or baseboards,wash all floors and moldings, under and around appliances,cabinets ,bath fixtures, behind and under furniture, and contract them to vacuume twice and deeply vac edges of floors. Take dogs the self wash dog place. Wash the with plain dawn soap,and a antifungal dog skin soap especially their toes and ears and tails. Then go home and wash,you and your clothes,

Looks to me like a granary weevil. Dispose of old, out dated flour, rice, cereals, dry beans, etc. Thoroughly vacuum the carpet and mop the flooring. Wipe down the shelves in the pantry.

Yeah, I agree that these are not bed bugs, But Yes, I am pretty sure that these are antennae. They're a pretty common household pest, but they only eat fibers like carpet, clothing, and upholstered furniture. They're not bloodsuckers like bed bugs.

But If we ignore them and let them stay in the house, it would take us in serious home furniture damages. Instead, this I would suggest contacting a professional pest exterminator
