Help with bugs...

13 years ago

I didn't know where else to post this, so I thought the cleaning forum might be a good choice!

This is the first summer in our new home, and we're finding these bugs all over our house (see pic). Can anyone identify these? I've tried Google with no luck. They aren't very big, maybe the size of a large ant. I'm sure they're harmless but I still don't want them inside of my home, can anyone identify this bug for me...and...how do I get rid of them? Thanks!

It looks like some kind of beetle, which isn't much help. If someone here doesn't have the answer, you might want to try the site I have linked to below.
