The Carpet Beetle: Pest of the Household

The Carpet Beetle: Pest of the Household

A small, hairy, oval larva, about on fourth of an inch long, feeds on carpets, working from the under side, and usually following the line of a crack in the floor. The adult is a beetle, three sixteenths of an inch in length, dark in color, and irregularly mottled with white. The beetles appear through the fall and winter.

Where rugs are used, no damage is recorded as a rule. If carpets are necessary, and infestation is in progress, it is essential to treat area first before laying the rugs.
