Bug ID Request...

Found a few of these guys in the house lately (mainly in the owners bath).The house is coastal SC. Bug guys have been called.

Any idea what it might be?

Body shape of the Box elder, but the snout and feelers are different.

If it's the "kissing bug", then they bite humans, are nocturnal, and the damn things can fly. Can be deadly too.

Agave Snout Beetle. But it looks like there are some others that are related.

Follow up: Since we just sold our house and I was asking my bug guy for a CL100 inspection next week, I sent him a picture. He says it’s a weevil. They eat flour, bread, cereal, etc. so it looks like tomorrow’s task is to go through the pantry/kitchen and toss all the weevil food out.

Edit: the bug is only 2-3mm or so long.
