   I found these bugs coming out of the drains in my house... does anyone know what they are??
   Im not sure these are the ones I found under the couch last week, at that time I was freaking out and it never occurred to me to take a picture. Its been 6 days since the PCO was here so Im guessing if its bed bugs there should be some new ones in the couch by now..

   Hi,

   Its not a bedbug.

   If possible please take the picture looking down at it from 90 degrees to get the best detail and focus.

   Hi,

   It may well be, a better picture and I may be able to comment but I am not certain enough with that angle to call it with greater than 60% accuracy.

   I found this bug dead underneath a cloths bag in the hallway against the wall. Im thinking the stuff left by the PCO killed it. It does look like a giant version of the bugs I found on sunday. I guess those ones were tiny babies. I dont think its a roach it seems to be some kind of beetle.
   Could it be what was biting us?
   Still have not seen any live bugs lately.... Is it possible that whatever was biting us was eradicated by the pco??

   Hi,

   It is a beetle, I think its a stored product beetle and possibly a hairy fungus beetle.

   Either way they do not bite.

   Looks like a Yellow Meal Worm Beetle- definetly not going to bite you and David is correct a stored product pest.
