Carpet Beetle Larvae Damage  

Carpet beetle larvae cause damage to clothing, furnishings, and other natural fibers. The larvae feed on natural fibers but adults feed primarily on plant nectar and pollen. Larvae forage for food in dim and concealed areas. Infestations occur quickly and frequently go unseen until damage is extensive. The larvae feed mainly on animal and plant materials such as skin dander, silk, wool and feathers. They damage clothing, furniture and other household furniture. The larvae will also eat synthetic fibers with oil, perspiration and food stains, grains, spices, nuts, cereals, animal hair, dead animals and insects. The larvae live under floors, behind baseboards, inside air ducts, under furniture and in other concealed areas. They can infest entire homes and cause considerable damage within weeks.
