They look like carpet beetles. Vacuum them up, dispose of the bag outside and spray with an insecticide. B

I think they are some sort of a carpet beetle. There are a few different types of these beetles and I do not know the exact one your is. I hate insecticide to spray with because they can be dangerous to you and if you have pets. There are other ways to get rid of them by using a sticky tape for cockroaches or even flies. I would place some down around the baseboards of the home and vaccum every day to get rid of them.

In California (Southern) if I saw them I would first think they were the larva of a very small grayish flying pest, which to me look like moths about 1/4 inch long. If dry food of any kind is near this it would be this- we called them millers

If it's millers you have to throw away any foods they are in. They get in flour cereals, rice, pasta, corn meal. If its in a box or a bag they can bore through to eat and lay the larva. After removing food to garbage, clean area (s) thoroughly with disinfectant type cleaner and then we would leave whole cloves in the cupboards and changd them out about every six months
