Thank you so much everyone! We put some new sticky traps out in the same location and found another big lot of them there.
This gallery is almost literally right on the ground. There are some vents for air flow near where our traps are. The objects in this space are mostly mechanical tools (metal drills, drill-bits, etc. for our mountain-carving). There’s a lot of metal and wood in there with pretty much no organic matter and the space is free of food and debris. The space is cold and unheated for the most part. Can someone tell me if these Ptinus fur fellas are something to worry about? What kind of objects would/could they damage and what should I be watchful for? Thanks!

Some of them could be Ptinus sexpunctatus, a species of it and commonly known as the six-spotted spider beetle. But little difficult with the quality of the pictures. More to the larvae from the entomologists.
