Is it a carpet beetle?

i don’t know what type of bug it is, all i know is that they started showing up after i got my plants

it looks a lot like a carpet beetle! i grew up in an old house and we had these boogers in all our windows, uhg  
i could never find a solution to get rid of them until we semi-remodeled (the bugs were coming from old wood for us)

maybe try changing the soil, or at least the top soil, and look at some bug traps?  
i know fungus gnats and other bugs/molds don’t like cinnamon, so i often put cinnamon on the topsoil of plants. i havent had any plant damage from the spice! maybe research to see if these bugs are deterred by something similar?
