Starting to find this little critter around my house, mostly in my kitchen and pantry.

As far as I can tell, nothing has changed in the 8 years I have been in my home to now welcome them inside.

Best remedy to remove? You do it treatment or call a professional (I have my annual termite treatment coming up this week)?

That's a rolypoly. But your palms lifeline suggests you've got bigger issues than bugs.

I don't believe it is a rolypoly. June bug may be correct. Best way to get rid of them inside my home?

Flip it over so we can see its back. It could anything from a carpet beetle to a bed bug from that picture.

To treat the grubs that cause lawn damage, you can apply an insecticide, like Sevin, to the lawn and then water the lawn to get the insecticide into the soil, or you can apply Bacillus thuringiensis or milky spore to the soil to kill the June bug grubs. Grub nematodes can also be applied to the soil to kill June bug grubs. Sevin or similar insecticides can also be applied to affected plants if the adult June bug is eating your plants. If you are looking for an organic method for how to kill June bugs, you can build a June bug trap. Use a jar or a bucket and place a white light at the top of the container with an inch or two of vegetable oil at the bottom of the jar or bucket. The container should be open so that the June bug can fly in towards the light. They will fall into the oil below and be unable to fly away again

Hard to tell from that but it looks like a Drugstore beetle. A common pantry pest.

They are infesting a package of food in your pantry. The only way to remedy that it to find said package and discard it. Go through all of your food items and look for holes in the wrappers or boxes. Especially grain packages.

That picture sucks. Take one of its back, and one of its side. Also, your lifeline is really short. You gonna die

edit: but it doesn't look like a cockroach or a bedbug, so it's probably nothing to worry about.

It's definitely not a bedbug--they are wider than that. Unless it's engorged with blood, in which case it elongates and narrows.... but I'm 99% sure it's not a bedbug.
