so i was innocently sitting on my bead browsing the interweb when i look over too see a vary small insect crawling across my pillow. so i think to myelf i could just squash it or flush it down the toilet…but then i thought this might be bad so i decided to put the bug in a cup and google to see if i might inquire what kind of bug it was…it looked like a lafy bug so i assumed it was a beetle so i looked…and i found that it was a varied carpet beetle a vary small bug with small antenne and brown and white markings on its back…they lay eggs larvey live a long time and eat things like fabrics and dead skin and preserved foods. my room is messy with lots of cloths on the CARPET (where they like to live and hide)but this one i found on my bed….the cloths are clean my sheets are not…what should i do? >:( i dont know if it layed eggs and i cant see any others around im going to clean my room and wash my sheets….but what now i have to go to sleep and i cant wash my sheets right this min laundrys closed what now?

Starting tomorrow, clean: vacuum, wash your bedding and all that according to a schedule to prevent any eggs from hatching. Look up the life cycle of these unpleasant house guests and prevent if from occurring.

Sweetnes is correct in her answer. One way I found helpful was to first remove the pets and humans from the house or apt for one day. Go buy a few boxes of 20 mule team Borax.
Spread the contents on the carpets, couches, chairs, and in your case, the bed (remove the sheets), unless it is a water bed. Let set for overnight. Come back in the next day and vacuum like crazy. Besides getting rid of beetles, if you have a cockroach problem, this will also help. Boric acid is poisonous to most insects and spiders. If the bug have a nest, they will track is back to the nest and kill the whole nest.
Now, clean your room. Wash your sheets in hot water also using a 1/4 cup of Borax. If they are white sheets, also use Clorox.
