Tiny bugs in my bathroom?
Question:I have these tiny little black bugs in a wicker unit in my bathroom. They are really small and look a little like beetles only tiny. Does anyone have any idea what they are? In a previous house I lived in we had a whicker chest in the bathroom and the same thing happened. Any ideas (in the UK, by the way)?
Answers:
There are wood-eating beetles, you can kill them by heating the wicker furniture (if it fits in the oven) on the lowest setting for a few hours.
the answer at the top sounds correct! i was gonna say a type of wood worm but i have had a few!! try a pesticide or something to protect your baskets if you insist on keeping them! or ask a horticulturist on the best way at keeping them at bay! good luck!!
THEY ARE CALLED WIEVELS
Get the wicker out of that room, treat it with a pesticide and give a good clean to the room. Call an inspector too see where they come from. They may have made that space their home, and you don't want that since they may just grow in number. You may need to treat that area and even outside your home to prevent them coming in.
