| |  Small Grey Coloured Round Insect
I thought to ask before I upload a picture, but I have recently had an influx of small roundish type insects grey in colour with a couple of small black spots crawling up the walls etc, if they land on their back they have difficulty getting back on their feet again, and wondered if someone knew what they are by this description, should there be a need for a picture upload then I will do that, mind you the picture isn't all that clear, but it's better than nothing I suppose. |

Here is an image I have reduced in size due to the forum limitations, unfortunately by doing so when you magnify you don't get the best quality like it was before it was size reduced.  |

It could be a varied carpet beetle (should've guessed...) - to confirm, can you crop instead of resize? |

These have been found mostly on my walls, and in the kitchen where there is no carpet.
I looked on the skirting yesterday, and saw some on the lino, then I looked into a space in the skirting, and I saw some larvae, not sure if this was connected to the insect but I am pretty dam sure it would be unfortunately.
By the way is there any repellent I could use to kill these little blighter's?
Size of those insects are roughly 3mm x 5mm  |

Are the larvae of these the little woolly bears? (odd hairy little creatures) |

By the way I have not that long had a new carpet fitted, could it be that what has caused this.

These appear to have some spots round the outside shell, with a design right in the middle.
