Some of them are... the wormy ones. Ugh. I've been cleaning like a mad women trying to get rid of them. I really don't want to have to call and exterminator.

Re: Carpet Beatles- warning pic
ah yes, we're dealing with them too right now!! 
The wormy ones are actually the larve - so kill them so you don't get any more!
I think they've been coming in through the open screens in our house - they can fit through they are so damn small. I had an exterminator come in for carpenter ants outside so he treated the areas for the beetles as well.
I googled "carpet beetles" online and found a few helpful articles. Basically, vacuum the HELL out of your house - literally leave no stone unturned, because they could be anywere, and then you'll get a better handle on where they are living and such. They can be hard to find b/c they are so small, but if you find where they are you can keep it under control.
Welcome to my hell!
