As you gave no indication of size, it's hard to be sure, but from the photo alone it looks like a Flour Beetle, of which there are several different ones. Have you seen any in your kitchen or pantry? They are usually associated with grains, rice, beans, cereals. Double check these food items for signs of any bugs.

The other possibility is a Brown Click Beetle.

Either way, check these two bugs out on-line to see if they are one of these.

Good luck.

Sorry about leaving size out! These are tiny! I think a fluke beetle is the closest Ive seen. None in our kitchen though.

This looks like a typical house roach or what some call a cockroach. They are horrible and they are in everything in your home. I think you really need to set out some roach traps, roach sticky paper, and maybe put down some roach bait to kill them with.

It sure sounds like you are getting quite an infestation in your home and before it gets out of control get them killed now. They can breed so quickly and before you know it you are infested with roaches in your home.

I do not believe it is a fluke beetle but not sure since it appears to be so small.

You can send picture (and size) to these sites and they will tell you what bug you have and then you can find out how to get rid of them as I feel sure they are eating your carpet and clothes.

Has shape and segmenting of a grain beetle. It pixelates when I try to zoom...so I am judging on what I can see.
