Please give me some advice.

What is it and what to do with it!

We have a very small garden and there appeared small (2-3ml)brown beetles. After a couple of days, they covered all the garden chairs...
The child is not allowed to play, laundry can not be dried and they are already in the house.
So far, not very much, but in a variety of places.

They don't seem to bite, they are quite slow, and you can crush them with a light tap of your finger. When crushed, the smell is not the most pleasant, but it can not be said that it stinks. More likely something spruce or vegetable.

I searched the Internet for a long time, but found nothing. Here are the photos.

I will assume that Anthicus ater.

The main thing is to turn off the lights and close the windows. Although with the windows I wouldn't risk it in this weather

Thank you very much!!!

Yes, it looks similar. I didn't see them that close, though, and I don't have a macro lens.
Now you can sleep in peace, and then I already thought you never know, in the furniture where something started up... although there is only one chipboard almost... The second night on the Internet looking for them, and, apparently, there was nothing to sit at night))
I wonder how they fly into the light on the 4th floor, and even overcome the grid on the window (although there is a cell diameter of a couple of millimeters)...

I apologize if this question has already been raised! I can't identify the insects, but I can't take any photos yet for technical reasons. I haven't been able to find anything like this anywhere, although they have been living with me for 20 years. Insects are small (up to 5 mm), although from time to time a larger individual (possibly a female) crawls out - about 10 mm. They live either in the ground or in the cracks of the house (adobe, ground floor). In the evening (much less often - in the afternoon) they crawl on the walls. They only appear in summer. In appearance, they look most like a piece of soot - gray, matte, with growths on the legs. The abdomen is oval, flattened from top to bottom, the chest rises above the level of the abdomen, but not in a hump. The head narrows anteriorly, small, and I can't see the mouthpiece. Two black eyes, two short whiskers, pointed forward. Wings and elytra are not observed at all. The legs are all walking, but the hind legs are longer than the front ones. They move very slowly, as if in jerks, slightly lifting the body before taking a step. They walk like toads, actually. Disturbed people run unexpectedly briskly. I'm terribly curious, what could it be?
