Just took out an old, OLD shower curtain, it was screwed into the wall and now we've got these little things still in the wall. They're like fasteners or something. They start out straight and then are like riveted or grooved to hold the screw in. How do we remove these from the wall, without making a huge hole? We were trying needle nose pliers, but that makes a hole.

Either punch them in and make a little hole, or pull them out and make a giant hole. You get a hole either way.

If these are plastic hollow wall inserts try cutting the shoulder off with a utility knife and then push them through, into the wall. This way the hole should not be any larger than it is right now.

get a drill about the size of the widest part and drill them out. they will either pull out or fall in. Then spackle the hole, let it dry and try a new hole. you can reuse the wall anchors that are there.
