Carpet beetles
Carpet beetles are small, oval-shaped insects that can be a serious household pest. They belong to the Dermestidae family and are known for their destructive larvae, which feed on natural fibers like wool, silk, fur, and carpets. These pests are often mistaken for harmless insects due to their small size, typically ranging from 1/16 to 1/8 inch long. Adult carpet beetles can be black, brown, or patterned with white, orange, or yellow scales.
While adult beetles primarily feed on pollen and nectar, their larvae are the real concern. They are covered in tiny bristle-like hairs and prefer dark, undisturbed places where they can feed on organic materials such as clothing, upholstered furniture, and stored fabrics. Infestations often go unnoticed until visible damage appears on clothing, carpets, or even preserved animal specimens.
