carpet bettles are very common. The exterminator will come and treat the floor boards but won't treat your carpet. Make sure you throw out your vaccum bag in a sealed plastic bag as to try and eliminate further infestations.

Did you leave the door open today? With the warmer weather, sometimes they come from outside
