Over the last couple of weeks, I've found 5 beetles wandering about in
my house. 4 on the 2nd floor and one in the first floor bathroom,
suprisingly, none on the ground floor.

They're quite big. 1/2" in size and black. I really don't like sharing
my bed with these critters and I can't think where they might be coming
from. They can't have all flown in through the window can they?

Has anyone got any ideas of where I should be looking or what might be
attracting them?

They sound to me like what we used to call "black beetles" - unimaginatively
:-) Sometimes "Black Clocks". Whatever they are, they're harmless. They're
not in your bed (they wouldn't want to share it with you). They're very
small compared with you, they don't sting or bite and aren't vectors for
disease. If you look at them closely you'll see that they're very beautiful.

What's your problem?
