Little bug(ger)s. Help

[Sue26]

Hi all
Can anyone identify these little bugs?
Van last used 3 weeks ago and they weren't there then. They are dead and there is no sign of anything crawling around in dark corners that I've been able to see.
Should I be worried?

Silver fish?

I'd give it a spray with fly spray shut the van and leave it for half an hour. Vacuum it out and monitor to see if they return

Nah, they don't appear to be life-threatening.

Hi
I thought that at first but no sign of damp/ leak and I've only seen these dead ones in the co2 monitor.

Hopefully then it's not an infestation.
Will try the fly spray fumigation tactic and keep an eye out for more.

Thanks folks.

Doesn't need to be damp you often get them around flour often in with it.

My better half would have me
smoke bomb the place and put up with the smell for a few days than those.

Can’t make out if they have wings. Dead midges? No help, but my bugs beat yours though thankfully not on quantity. Body 3cm long. Weirdly slow. About 10 forced their way in. Cockroaches?

Ah right. I thought they were associated with damp/ moist conditions.

I thought they only spread at harvest time?

Relatives used to live opposite wheat fields, every summer they were deluged. They got everywhere, they seem to like crawling into the most inaccessible places, like round the back of photo frames and under the glass!

 

[Sue26]

Thanks for all suggestions.

Sound like I don't need to loose sleep over them. Will just spray and keep an eye out for any more.

They look like what I had in a bag of bird food last year that infested the laundry room ,I was informed by a member on here that they were Weevils

This is only 2nd time we've used van since last November. Its kept outdoors on a storage site and no food is left in it over winter. It also gets a thorough clean down to make sure crumbs etc are removed before it goes away for the winter.
Seems its just 'one of them things'.
Was worried when I first spotted them but not so worried now

Probably been in there for some time and the op has only just noticed them…
