Recently i have noticed bugs in my carpet and i cant find out what they are (ie internet)
they look like tiny tiny caterpillars but are browny beige in colour, they have been found around the edge of the room by the skirting board but have recently found them crawling up the wall. There havent been loads (like an infestation) but for only having new carpets this year and hoovering everyday im wondering where they are coming from!
any ideas??!!

Sounds like they could be centipeds. We get them in the house all the time. They are attracted to moisture. Sometimes if we've had a bit of rain, they'll come out of hiding and climb the walls. Wish I knew of a way to get rid of them as they are so ugly.
