Hello Joanna,
It is difficult to identify a pest from the damage
Bernice, let me echo Carolyn's thoughts on these critters. Both the brown
scavenger beetle (fungus beetle) and psocids indicate that you have moisture
problems. Either high humidity or leakage. A combination of controlling the
moisture and housekeeping usually does the trick. Look for leakage,

So, my question is, over how long a period is "Allow them to come up to the
ambient temperature slowly?" 5 hours? 24 hours?
