Long shot but my friends new house has a family of these bugs and she's not coping with them and the woodlouses 
Any idea what they are? I'm always blown away by the knowledge of my gardeners world friends - I know this is not really a garden question per se but if you don't ask 😊
And sorry this is the best pic available (they are small) 
Thanks in advance

    It's too hard to pick out details from the photo but if the beetles are indoors and numerous then I'd check if they're one of the dermestids which are common pests https://www.naturespot.org.uk/taxonomy/term/19351
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Thank you. They are  dermestidae or house beetles as you advised.
