Does anyone know what kind of indoor bug/insect this is?? (house, university)

We discovered these bugs a couple of months ago in our kitchen and now we basically find them all over our home. We exactly arnt sure where they nest and its becoming really frustrating seeing them throughout our home. They are so small i had to use a magnifying glass to picture one. They seem to have wings which explains how they get all around the house. Thanks for the help.
(P.s. i tried attaching multiple pics but the post only seems to only accept one pic.)

It looks like a small scarab beetle of some sort. June bugs are also scarabs but are much bigger.

If they're all over the house, they could be a grain beetle of some sort. Check the pantry. We had an infestation of sawtoothed grain beetles in our pantry when we lived in DFW. They got into an open container of the dry dog treats and went to town on them.

Well the thing is i doubt its a seasonal bug because we've had them over 6 months now but just recently noticed them increasing. We first discovered them in our food storage closet. We cleaned it all out checked all jars dumped any food item we saw them in. But now seem scattered around the house but mostly seem them dead on top of kitchen counters. Its just confusing where there exactly nesting from...

I did some research and it seems to be some sort of drug beetle or cigerette beetle? Can anyone confirm this? Plus can someone recommend a good pest control company?

contact your county agricultural agent/office--they may be able to offer some help w/identification...
don't know good pest company but wouldn't use any of the big name brand companies
check better business bureau for local family owned company

Hi! I also hv this problem in my very clean home. None of my trash was ever left overnight in kitchen. My wife is very fussy about cleanliness.

And my wife and started to hv bite marks on my body. And I saw very small little bugs like those in your pic.
They are especially active at night, and appear on my white tiled floor. And they fly, which means they are not bed bugs. They're so small you can hardly see them flying. And they crawl extremely slowly. And i find most of them virtually half-dead.

I was perplexed, bcos my home is very clean and theres no food left exposed anywhere.

At last, we opened every cabinet in the kitchen and there was a large packet of improperly sealed oats. It was full of them inside. I disposed of it properly, and the entire cabinet.

And there was a drastic drop in the appearance of these cretins.

I made a bait comprising of 2cups sugar + 1 tblspoon yeast. As it ferments, it releases CO2. And it did trap quite a fair bit of these little things. And I sprayed Harris's Bed Bug Spray (yellow) on all possible hiding places. And vacuumed every nook and cranny

I'd say from 100%, it has dropped to 5% now.

looks like it could be black carpet beetles.
