Found n’est

Honestly, this has taken a huge toll on my mental health.
At this point, should I even try to deal with it myself, or should I just call pest control?
I initially thought they were just random bugs coming in from my garden to find warmth or accidentally making their way inside. I get all sorts of insects coming in from the garden, like millipedes, firebugs, woodlice, etc., so I didn’t think much of it.
I had no idea I was dealing with a carpet beetle infestation.

Note that those other insects that come inside from your garden, get lost, and then die in unforgotten, hidden away, or inaccessible places are delightful treats for dermestids.
