Just moving some bits of furniture around in the living room only to discover two wooden chests with loads of maggot type creatures underneath and inside them... Soooooo disgusting! Feel all itchy now.

They are about the size of a grain of rice. I'll attempt to attach a picture. Seem to be attracted to the wood as don't seem to be elsewhere in the living room.

Living room floor is carpeted. Also the room itself is fairly damp. Landlord still considering whether to treat that but that's another story!

Please help me identify the little shits. Husband has removed the chests and hoovered the little fuckers up, we'll get rid of the hoover bag. What else?!

Look like carpet moths to me too. We had them a few months ago :-(

Sorry - we are in rented and I bought a spray I out at the edge of the room under the carpet and smoke bombs off amazon and they seem to have done the trick seeing as our landlord didn't appear to want to do anything either!!
