    HOME GROUNDS FACT SHEET Horticulture Center Cornell University Demonstration & Community Gardens at East Meadow Farm Cooperative Extension 832 Merrick Avenue East Meadow, NY 11554 Nassau County Phone: 516-565-5265 Carpet Beetles Carpet beetles are “guests” you don’t want coming to dinner. They damage home furnishings and clothing containing natural fibers such as wool, hair, fur, hide and feathers. They may infest peppers, cereals, cake mixes and stored grains. Blankets, sweaters, comforters, rugs, tapestries, carpets, stuffed animals, draperies, pillows, Black Carpet Beetle ( –– ) hair in mattresses and brushes, dried flower arrangements and upholstery frequently harbor these pests. The larvae (immatures) cause the feeding damage. They may crawl from room to room, becoming widely distributed. They may live behind baseboards, molding, in cracks, corners, behind radiators, in heating system air-ducts, in clothes, dresser drawers, etc. The adult beetles are sometimes found on window sills on the sunny side of the house. They fly readily and during warm spring days, feed on flower pollen outdoors. Adults are known to infest wild buckwheat, crepe myrtle and spirea flowers. Adults Carpet Beetle may fly into a house from these sources. ( –– ) In Nassau County there are four different species of carpet beetles: black carpet beetle, common carpet beetle, varied carpet beetle and furniture carpet beetle. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Considerations IPM is a common sense approach to pest control and plant care. It employs a number of measures to prevent, control or reduce problems. Always use the least toxic methods first. A good mechanical control, in many instances, is to vacuum the insects and then throw the bag away.

  • Carpet Beetles
    Carpet Beetles Damage Furnishings and clothing made of wool, fur, feathers or hair are subject to damage by insects. Some of the most serious insect pests of these articles are known collectively as carpet beetles. Damage may range from the clipping of an occasional fiber, which only slightly weakens the fabric and may go entirely unnoticed, to the total destruction of articles left undisturbed for many months or years. Fabrics made of a combination of wool and synthetic fibers may also be damaged. Feeding damage is done only by immature carpet beetles (larvae), which look like hairy caterpillars. The presence of the adult beetle is simply an indication of an infestation and that susceptible materials should be inspected. Adult beetles usually feed outdoors on flower pollen. Carpet beetle injury can be differentiated from clothes moths damage by the absence of silken webs on the material. Description The most common carpet beetles in Rockland County are the black carpet beetle (Attagenus megatoma) and the varied carpet beetle (Anthrenus verbasci). The adult black carpet beetle is dull black in color, elliptical in outline, and usually about one-fourth inch long. The carpet beetle's antennae and legs are brown. The larva, on the other hand, may grow to a length of one-half inch before entering its pupal stage and transforming into an adult. The larva is somewhat carrot-shaped and bears a tail of long brown hairs. Its body is covered with brown hair. The varied carpet beetle is similar in appearance and habits to other species of carpet beetles commonly found in Rockland.
