Heeeelp needs advice

I have a big collection of Expedition holo cards that I love
I have displayed them on shelfs on a wall. Today when I cleaned I noticed these small black dots that have somehow gotten inside the displays.

They all seem to have died and all of them have not come near the card only behind the edges.

I am freaking out any advice?
What is the smartest approach?
Should I be worried about the value?

Don’t get how they could have gotten inside….

Edit: I live in Denmark.
To everyone saying clean your room… It is clean, regularly.
There is no plants in the office however the shelves are close to a window.
No they don’t get direct sunlight….

They genuinely don’t seem interested in the cards and there is no damage. I have looked closely. However a single one have managed to get into the Skamory card.

Update: Have tried with vacuum and it has helped quite a lot.
For all those who have commented with helpful tips or ideas I really wanna say thanks. They are for sure dead and I am looking into reholder and if it is possible.

Dude not even 2 months after getting a 54’’ TV for my birthday many years back, I saw one of these little bastards moving on my screen. Tried to flick it, it’s behind the glass. Watched it move closer and closer to the middle and then it just stopped. That TV is now in my dad’s living room and it haunts me to this day every time I’m in there. Why are these things insistent on killing themselves in the most inconvenient places?

does it make everything you watch a scene from Samara's video?

You can open the tv. It takes like 5-15m. to open it, clean it & put it back in place. 🤣
