What kind of beast is this?

What kind of beast is this?

Sat on the curtain in the apartment, length 5 mm. View from above.What's it?

Good afternoon. He chopped wood from felled walnuts and cherries. I took it to the basement so that it wouldn't get wet in the open air. Less than a month later, small beetles appeared on the nut (mostly). They move slowly, but have wings and jump freely. 1.5-2 mm in length. Tell me what kind of "guests" are.

P.S. Happy Victory Day to all!!!

Bark beetles are not good to eat. How can I etch it?

P.S. Thank you for your prompt response

Do you recommend any good insecticide against them?
I'm just afraid that they will move from the basement to the house on the first floor and then to the roof and the strapila will cut through everything

Help me determine who it is

Dear experts, please identify what kind of insects are these? at first glance, harmless midges-but they turn out to eat the joints of wallpaper seams, and the seams in the bathroom tiles! I accidentally discovered that they live in an apartment for about a year... I thought everything would just fall apart. Can they bite at night?...

Of course, I understand that the pictures are not very good, but maybe someone can tell me what kind of friend this is?

Good afternoon again. Isn't there already no one who can help determine who has settled next to us?

They're not insects. These are gamase mites.

Thanks for the reply. If they are ticks, then there should be bites. I didn't find anything. We don't keep animals in the house.

Bites are absolutely optional and absent in the vast majority of cases of occurrence of these ticks (and ticks are the largest systematic group of arthropods, many of which are not bloodsuckers at all, but predators and / or saprophages). They can appear in the dwelling, for example, from attics and balconies (if birds nest there (or have nested there): pigeons, swallows, swifts. In some cases, the option is not excluded from basements, if rodents live there. Skidding with soil for indoor plants is also possible. And the fact that your incognito is gamase mites, there is no doubt.

We don't have a basement, we live in a detached house: on the first floor there are garages, on the second floor there is an apartment (this is happening in England). In the attic and really live some birds, and not the first year, but to attack in the form of new neighbors in the first. Can you advise me how to get rid of them, and then my pregnant brain turns on panic at the word "tick".

The neighborhood is really unpleasant (although panicking is a thankless task). The best way to get rid of uninvited guests is to eliminate the root cause of their appearance, that is, to exclude the possibility of nesting birds: ticks can be both their parasites and saprophages-the inhabitants of their nests (there is a lot of exfoliated skin of chicks, feathers, corpses of dead chicks, and finally, in a word, everything that is to the taste of gamaz mites. In addition, I strongly advise you to contact a specialized service (analogous to the Soviet SES) - you can hardly imagine that there are none in the United Kingdom.P.S.
By the way, if your house is an apartment building, ticks can also creep into your apartment from neighbors.

Here, for starters: maybe it will help in further searches:

Good luck!

People, please help me identify them and advise me on what to do.
A month ago, beetles appeared in the bathroom and toilet floor. Then they began to fall from all the cracks (even lamps) and today I found them behind the pipe. They are hard, black, often just lying on the floor or moving slowly. I don't know where they came from, but they've already started crawling out of the rooms. How to deal with this? Should I call the service?
Thank you all!
