small oval-shaped bugs

[donotforsake.livejournal.com]

Is anyone else having a problem with little oval shaped bugs (hard shell, can fly)? They are everywhere in our kitchen and getting into food. Vigilant cleaning is not seeming to help the situation - they've been around for about 2 months - though seems to be getting worse - now they are flying and landing on us too. Wondering if it's a seasonal thing, or if anyone knows what they are.

I'd say maybe Carpet Beetles which apparently are Larder Beetles like someone mentioned above, but I don't think they fly so doesn't sound like what you're after.

they do fly - we had a mini infestation a year ago. You should check your clothing. A sure tell tale sign - did you find larvae husks anywhere? The larvae live off clothing, rugs, etc. So if you are finding holes on your socks - it's the beetles and not moths. these guys are amazing

and even if it's not carpet beetles, they can help. They are also very fairly priced.
