Carpet beetles are small, oval-shaped insects that feed on natural fibers, such as wool, silk, and fur. They are often found in homes, where they can damage carpets, clothing, and other items made of natural fibers. Adult carpet beetles are attracted to light and may enter homes through windows and doors. Once inside, they lay eggs on suitable food sources, such as carpets, clothing, and furniture. The larvae hatch from the eggs and feed on the material, causing damage. To control carpet beetles, it's important to regularly vacuum carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture to remove larvae and eggs. Cleaning and storing clothing and other items made of natural fibers in sealed containers can also help prevent infestations. Insecticidal treatments may be necessary for severe infestations, but proper identification and monitoring are crucial to ensure effective control.
