I live in Oregon and lately, within the last few months, the bed rooms of my house have been plagued with black beetle-like insects and what looks like caterpillars that are both found on the beds but (thankfully) nowhere else in the house.

THe wreath had been hanging on the wall for three years previously without a problem
