Hi

over the last few days we have noticed some very tiny beetle looking insects slowly taking over our house! They are black and look to have a horn but it could be feelers as they r that small we cannot tell. I have a picture, but can't find how to put it into this message.

we don't have a clue what to do, please help. Thank you!

Could be a Grain weevil Sitophilus granarius Do you have any bird seed around as they often come in with this. Get rid of the source and you will get rid of the problem.

OMG you are a genius! Found the source, a bag of hamster food my friend gave me a while back, it's in the spare room and that was were most of them are! Thank you sooooo much, I was so worried we had a massive infestation and it was in the loft and when we went up it would be like a scene from doctor who!

Again thank you!
