Can anyone please tell me what these bugs are? And how to get rid of them? I just shampooed my carpet too and cleared the dust.

These look like earwigs. Spray with an insecticide and seal up any openings so they cant get into your home.
Doesnt look like an earwig to me
You do not show a side picture but it actually looks like a snail to me.

You can always ask for help from your county extension agency as they have lots of information about things like this.

There are a lot of different types of snails.

It may be a Lepisma Saccharina- better known as a Silverfish or Fishmoth. This insect love damp areas like bathtubs, sinks, baseboards, and damp areas , like basements. A insecticide will solve these - www.orkin.com/
Are they crawling or flying? I ask because they look more like larvae than an insect. You don't mention where you are located which could have some impact on what it is. When I first saw it it looked like a moth larvae or cocoon.
silverfish was my first thought too
in general they look almost like sea creatures - like crabs or something
am curious that cleaning the carpet didn't solve the problem, but probably insecticide is needed
you may try diatomaceous earth or boric acid; both are good for killing critters with hard exoskeletons
