Insect/mite ID

[maxym]

Hi
I post on here about 2 weeks ago to ask for ID on beetles I keep finding in the house I moved into a month ago. Thank you for all your replies.
I am now finding this little mites in all the rooms. They are about 3mm long and look quite furry.

They seem to live in the gap in between the carpet and the skirting boards. Also they seem to be the bathroom behind the toilet and sink pipes.

Please can you help me id them as this morning I have found that some have attached themselves to my baby's playmat which was on the floor in the living room near the skirting board.

Thanks

Hi Maxym,

You do seem to attract beetles!

These look like the larvae of carpet beetle, sometimes known as 'woolly bears'.

Here are links to some recent threads, usually started by someone with the same problem:

No doubt other WABbers can give further advice as to the best way to treat the problem.
