It may be that they are common furniture beetle but there are other beetles that look similar but live in other things. Second,there should be some dust around or below the exit holes, but it is possible that the beetles sre emerging somewhere else entirely. If you can get some of the beetles posted to our Sherborne office ,we can identify them. It is best if they are sent in a small box or they get crushed to nothing!

Somehow they must be coming from the bed! The bed in in an empty room. But i cannot see any dust. I have treated as many of the hole i can see with rentokill - I wonder if this will stop them???
