Broad-nosed short-snouted weevil
6479. Just moved into a new acreage south of Okotoks, Alberta. Have found many of these identical (all the same bug) bugs in 1-2 bedrooms. Have been vacuming them up for last 3 days. they seem to be crawling out of the long carpet ( only in bedrooms ). These are not found all over the house. Just mainly the one bedroom and the bedroom below ( walk out basement ). If we had to count how many of these we have found ~ 30+. Trying to find out what they are and if they are harmful to humans or structure. Thanks for any help. Rob St Martin. Okotoks, Alberta. Canada
Number 6479. This is a broad-nosed short-snouted weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae; subfamily Entiminae). They often enter buildings in search of shelter, but do no harm there. Simply sweep/vacuum them up and dispose of them.
