How do I get rid of the little ****ers?!?

Noticed a couple in the bathroom one morning a few weeks back. Assumed they'd come through the window which we open after the kids' bath each night (light/extractor also left on for a bit). Now they appear in the bathroom and landing at all times of day. Checked carpets and cupboards and cannot find larvae. Could they be under the floorboards?

Gah...

Been there with this. There’s a spray treatment you can do. Just keep out of the house for a few hours after. That, plus daily vacuuming and we got the carpets cleaned (logic is the heat and steam kills the larvae). Seemed to do the trick.
