You may want to check dried food items stored in your pantry, including spices, nuts, fruit, and pet food, for signs of insect infestation. This appears to be a drugstore beetle, a pest species that will feed on an incredibly wide variety of items. See http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2083.html for a fact sheet.

Thanks for the help. Food seems safe & free of bugs, but the windows have little water vents that have mildew that I can't clean. What a pain. These windows are new & have a major design flaw IMO. Looks like I have no options to stop them.
