Small bug in apartment

    Small bug in apartment

    I recently moved into an apartment in NT and noticed these small bugs on the ground. Not too much of an issue but just curious what kind of bug it is and if I can do anything to get rid of them. The flat is an older unit (built in late 80's) but has been recently repainted and doesn't seem to have a mold issue yet.

    Can anyone help me identify these? They are black/brown in color, about 3-4mm and have long antennae. I usually find them crawling on the floor and they are quite easy to spot since it is white tile. Haven't found on the walls or in food yet. From what I can find, might be fungus beetle or mini weevils. Picture attached (20 cent coin for size).

    It should be impossible to identity if you had killed it properly.

    I prefer the Glorious PLA Wasp-killing Flamethrower of Death.

    Could be useful on the DB ferry if someone moves your bag off a seat.

    Or come to his senses and he's gone off to buy a flame-thrower. It's the only way to be certain.
