Help me identify these insects please.

if they're fairly contained, what lostkat said should work fine. They live in loads of houses in cupboards and dark crannies & people only notice them when something goes off in the cupboard and they all turn up at one place! Get some antibacterial wipes and keep an eye on it, you should notice they get less and less after few days, then you'll be able to tell where they are coming from (maybe a corner or crack in the cupboard or something).

Good luck with it!

I cleaned the cupboard this morning, but it appears they are back again... I have looked up on woodlice, but these things looks nothing like it, they are really small, white and the size of a grain of sand....what are they?

A good spray of insecticide is something I'm considering next, before calling the pest people.

It sounds very much like laborus politicianus, a very annoying and ever present pest tht afflicts people up and down the country.
