Bug shells (looks like Sawdust) falling from Wall. SW PA

Canonsburg, PA

We've been getting these bug shells in our front room. They fall from behind the trim on the tops of our wall. They look a bit like Sawdust. We know there are birds close to it outside, but we see SO much of just this bug falling each year.

I have several photos but can only show the one, so we posted the one with the shell and it's surrounding mess it makes.

Looks like you may have an infestation of meal worms of some type eating the wood out of your house.

Those are shed skins of growing larvae.
Adults are beetles. Most likely brown.

They can also feed on insulation and other things.
You may want to have someone come in, and exterminate.
