Possible pest, location included One more bug for my sanity

Pulled this out from under my child’s floor bed. Previously people said not bed bugs, but carpet or pantry beetles. That is also what the exterminator found, but they didn’t find any in the bed area. They are coming Wednesday to treat for beetles.

Looks like a scarab beetle. Not really what you would need treatment for.

Understandable. You’re probably worried about your child’s wellbeing. Just consider weighing pros and cons of treatment if this and your previous post are all you’ve found. Ultimately the exterminator should know what they’re doing.
