So lately, since about the beginning of this year, I've noticed small beetles in my bedroom sometimes and occasionally in other rooms upstairs. After a little research, I found out they are in fact "varied carpet beetles" and live off of eating things like wool, silk, leather, fur, feathers and all that kind of stuff, but because I'm vegan I don't have anything with such organic materials.

In addition, I've noticed them on my bed more, which is really scaring me. I know they aren't particularly harmful, but still - When I leave bed I look for them and see none, but if I leave and come back I might see one just lounging around on my pillow. Or just today for example, it was the first time but, when I got up and took the blanket off I looked and saw one crawling on the sheets underneath. I know it's comfortable, but really?

This was a problem last year but they went away on their own soon after I started noticing them, but even though they don't damage anything I own it's just annoying to have them around.

So overall, I'm wondering:

- why are these beetles living in my house?

- why do they like flying over and walking along my pillows?

- and most importantly, how do I get rid of them for good?

Thanks in advance for any answers :)

I planned to be a dead cheerleader for Halloween. A few questions: Where do I get a cheer leading costume for cheap-ish? What accessories should I use? Where can I get them? I want to have everything ready in a month so please answer quickly and specific answers.

I want to buy a small canvas at Michael's. It is just a few inches by a few inches... probably both four-ish inches long and wide. How much are they without any coupons?

I pushed up on to the cement, and my fingers got a little scraped. They are now red and hurt and sting. How can I get rid of the feeling?
