Depending on the trap location, two may not be indicative of an infestation. These guys don't need much to eat and can hang around a long time after the conditions that triggered the initial mold growth are remediated.

It is sometimes known as the Household Fungus Beetle. So you have mould somewhere. Getting rid of the mould will get rid of the beetle infestation.
