Identifying Small Black/Brown Beetles?

Identifying Small Black/Brown Beetles - horizontally striped beetleToday out of the blue I noticed that about 20 little black/brown beetles have appeared on our balcony door and especially on the kitchen curtain. They were not there yesterday, and if they were their number definitely was small enough to go unnoticed. They have wings, but prefer to crawl and rarely use them. I have attached photographs to help identify them. Through research I thought they were carpet beetles, but they don't look exactly like that (not round enough and the color is not the same), so I'm confused. Also we have sprayed the area, but what else is there that we can do to make sure they're gone? Because I see a couple more appearing every two hours. Help me please.

The bottom two pictures do look like carpet beetles. Vacuum thoroughly and throw the bag outside. Call an exterminator.

Thats what I thought too but they dont look exactly like the pictures .. carpet beetle are more round and the color is a bit off .. I dont know . Also we have no carpets right now in the apartment because of summer . Could they appear even if theres no carpets ?

Update : turns out they are a kind of bean beetle . They found some old beans in a cupboard that werent properly sealed . We hadnt checked that cupboard these days and they seemed to be gathered on the balcony door for some reason so that threw us off .
