i found what i think is a carpet beetle in my climbup. glad to know it works!
bugs are so hard to see when covered in white powder! look carefully!

i touched the bug (thought was dead) with a qtip and it curled up in a ball.

it looks like a carpet beetle and is bigger than any of the bbs ive found.
i cant upload photo right now.

Check in the internet for "pill bugs" and "sow bugs". They roll up in a ball.

I'm not a professional but bed bugs don't roll up into a ball and carpet beetles don't bite though many people are allergic to carpet beetle larval hairs and the reaction can present in such a manner that it looks like bites.
