I have found these hanging out on our floor trim, I think I can pinpoint a few places where they live inside the floor trim. There are also pale colored larva. I thought they were bed bugs because I have gotten bites, but I don't think they look like bed bugs me they look more like beetles of some kind.

These are NOT Bedbugs. They ARE some type of Beetle, but your photos are too blurry to distinguish what variety. Also, when taking a photo of any kind of insect, you should always put a ruler or a coin, etc., near the insect for size comparison. From your photo, this beetle could be 1/16th inch long or 1 1/2 inches long....there is nothing to determine size.
If the larva are found right near the trim board, these beetles could be a type of Wood Boring Beetle. If I were you, I would try to catch both a beetle and the larva - use a piece of CLEAR tape to catch them, and take to a hardware store to see if they can identify what variety. They will also know what kind of insecticide to use and/or a reliable exterminator in your area. Good luck, and let us know the outcome.
