Bugs

I’ve been noticing these little black bugs in my bedroom, I had all my drawers out and they were everywhere! I had to hoover them all up. Does anyone know what causes them? I must admit I’m terrible for chucking stuff away, I’ve kept all my sons school work, letters to me they wrote, which had me in tears because I haven’t looked at them in so long, I can’t bear to throw them away, but not sure if these bugs are attracted to paper or something.

We've had this too! And literally the only thing that has worked is removing plants. We can't work it out as there were no bugs on the plants.

But I don’t have any plants in my bedroom, I have no idea what is attracting them.

Not bed bugs? Think they're usually brown though

But they were all in my drawers, I only went to get something and found them all.

Years ago my son made me a pasta necklace at school and I’ve never had the heart to throw it away, he’s 25 now, they were all over it, I had no choice but to throw it away, I hoovered them all up, but I still keep finding them, will it just take a while for them to go?
