Tiny Bugs on Windowsill?

A row of tiny bugs on a windowsill.These little tiny bugs are on my windowsills around the house! I just noticed them yesterday and have already called an exterminator but just curious as to what these are, why they are here and if they are harmless! Thanks

These tiny bugs look like carpet beetles www.whatsthatbug.com/.../ The most common of these is the furniture carpet beetle (Anthrenus flavipes). This is a small beetle - a little larger than the head of a pin. The adults are most often seen on walls moving very slowly. They are active in summer and relatively inactive in the winter. This explains why you suddenly found them. It got warmer and they became active.
Carpet beetles can feed on a wide variety of things, from wool, leather and other animal products to noodles and flour, meal and other stored food and plant products.

This why they can infest almost any part of a house.
The best control strategy is to do a thorough vacuuming of the suspected sites. Then do a thorough cleaning, which includes looking for all the material that could be infested. Make sure exterior doors close securely.

I'm sure you already know this could be any one of numerous types of bugs.
Picture is not clear/close enough for any type of identification and there are several bugs that love moisture/mold so if there are very many it is a good idea to see what the exterminator says as I'm sure they will be able to tell you what is going on.

Hopefully they will be able to find where the bugs are coming from and eliminate the problem.

If you should find bugs of any kind in the future, you can contact your county extension service and ask for help.
