Does not kill, they winter in natural conditions much further north. Moreover, what EXACTLY are you going to freeze out? Larvae develop in ent. collections, stuffed animals and carcasses, untreated wool, etc. If there are animals at home, they develop perfectly in the remnants of wool under cabinets and skirting boards.

Dried insects forage, for example. A fur collar in the freezer is also not difficult to throw. For prevention purposes, rather, I still think that the source of infection is not in the apartment. At home there are only hamsters, their fur is not behind the baseboards, under the cabinets. In their home, this very wool is also very small, cleaning is done on time.
I can't imagine where these beetles came from, there is practically no wool/skin/fur at home, there are also few dried insects forage, and they were bought recently, I looked through them, I didn't see any signs of infection.
Maybe, according to the classics, someone died in the ventilation system and they flew in from there?
How to protect your food from them?

Hello! Recently discovered in the office here is such a misfortune. While I noticed only in the office, at first I thought that these were small cockroaches, but then I saw one fly. The color is dark brown, there are wings, not that it flies, but rather plans. Very small, literally 3 mm. They crawl around the table, up to the ceiling and on the ceiling. The house is private. Spain. It's plus 20 degrees outside during the day and 5-6 degrees at night. The weather is dry now. The photo didn't get any better unfortunately :/

If you can't get a better shot, try to determine for yourself:
Do they choke easily? so malashka, a harmless little animal.
Choking with a crunch? so not malashka and someone else.
Eats (eats) legumes-zernovka.
Sharpens wood (table, nightstand, and bed) - pretend.

What should I do, Zin?

Go quickly to the store,
Buy a bubble,
Pour yourself a glass,
Then another...

Dmitry, thank you so much for your quick response!!! Please tell me if there is a way to deal with it that does not poison the apartment, and even we live here, and the little grandson comes. The apartment has a lot of books ( not antique, but from the 50s-70s), a pair of leather jackets, fur in hats, boots, jackets. Do I need to review everything? Could this leatherworm have come in from the street? ( I've already seen a fly outside, although it's still cold)

1) Review old leather and wool items, and stock up on food items (such as dried fish).
2) I could get in from the street. As well as from ventilation - these beetles often live in attics where pigeons nest (they feed on feathers, corpses of chicks, etc.)
3) The way to fight "without chemistry" is to find a place of their reproduction (if there is one in the apartment at all) and destroy it. I believe that the beetle really could have entered the apartment through the ventilation passage. Or get knocked up from the street.
