To ask what these are

[Tevion28]

They keep popping up all over my ceiling despite me picking them off.

Spider eggs

No no pls not spider eggs

They do look like eggs.

I'm definitely no expert, but usually spiders stay with their sack of eggs, don't they? I've certainly never seen them separately.

Do you keep a window open? Seeds or stuff that's blown in from outside?

They aren't eggs.

No window left open

Oh my god I think one was moving

Spider eggs are like a tiny ball of fluffy cotton wool and the spider stays with it. That’s not spider eggs. Not sure what it is though.

Larvae of something? Either way it's probably some sort of pest outbreak. Can you bug spray? Try a flea spray or something?

Looks like some kind of larvae?

What happens if you poke one with a long stick

possibly woolly bears, carpet beetle larvae.
small, slightly wiggly, hairy things.

They are carpet beetle larvae, had them in my old house.

It's a bit blurry, but is it case bearing clothes moth larvae?

They chew up fabric and then make a chrysalis type thing out of it, then the moth hatches out.

Why are they on the ceiling and not the floor? I hate carpet moths. They destroy everything. Have you noticed any holes in your clothes OP?

I think they are newly hatched moths.

Which means somewhere in your house there is a jumper/carpet/rug full of holes.

Spray with fly spray and then hoover everywhere, move as much furniture as you reasonably can.
Empty you jumper drawer, shake and spray etc.

newly hatched moths don't fly they crawl around for a bit, and then start flying.

Definitely moths, we had these in our old house.

I never did get rid of them, but nothing ever turned up with holes in

I haven't noticed any holes in anything

Carpet beetles

Whatever they are, it's not good!
