Contrary to popular belief, carpet beetles do not just live in your carpet\u2013which means that you can have a problem with these pests even if you only have hardwood or tile floors. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Although carpet beetles are not dangerous to\nhumans, they are definitely harmful to your belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will destroy your carpets from the\nbottom up. If your couch or chair is padded or cushioned, they can chew the\ncovering to pieces. They will also create holes in clothing. They\u2019ll damage\nrugs and wool clothing, as well as dirty clothing made of other fibers, such as\ncotton or silk. They\u2019ll feed on skin cells, pet food, and can also get into\npackaged foods. Any box of undisturbed clothing or blankets is also a target\nfor a carpet beetle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carpet beetle larvae are not extroverted\ncreatures and will spend most of their time well-hidden, making it harder to\nidentify them. Carpet beetle larvae feed primarily on animal products but will\neat other items as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a home is invaded the adult female\nbeetles can lay up to 100 eggs, which hatch into larvae in one to two\nweeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carpet\nbeetles are spring’s uninvited guests<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As contrite and well-worn as the statement is, springtime is truly the season of renewal and rebirth. With warming temperatures and ample rain to come, grass will be growing, birds will be singing, and shrubs will be in bloom. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, there are some species in\nresidence which have awakened with a destructive appetite capable of taking the\njoy out from this time of year. Carpet beetles are active and seeking new\nterritory to conquer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beware of carpet beetles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those are carpet beetles and their larvae you will recognize as tiny, hairy grubs. Often what are found are the cast skins of the larvae from their molts among your damaged things. They are common indoor pests of stored products and other organic materials. Back in the day, when most carpets were made of wool or other natural fibers, these insects got their name. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

They can be found on a variety of things besides carpets and are most likely infesting something near where you are seeing them in the pantry. These insects are sometimes used by mammalogists to clean animal skeletons in scientific collections. Sadly, they are also a serious museum pest and are notorious for eating insect collections and other dead animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fumigation is done by\nhomeowners and naphthalene balls are used without any instructions. Both these\nmethods are extremely harmful to humans and pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can be an\neffective solution to keep the carpet beetle away and protect your textiles\nfrom their damage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Termirepel™<\/strong><\/a> works on the mechanism of repellency. It\ntemporarily inhibits the mating cycle of the insects. The product impairs the\nability of the insects to reproduce, that is the insects will not lay eggs or\nthe laid eggs will be infertile. The product causes feeding disruption in an\ninsect by triggering an unpleasant reaction within the insect which might try\nto feed on the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The product\ntemporarily blocks the reproduction system of the insects by hindering the\nrelease of the vital hormones for growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The product\navailable in the form of liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints in a\npredetermined ratio and be applied on the interior and exterior of the\nbuildings and structures to keep the silverfish away from these places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our product in the lacquer form can be applied\ntopically to the applications. The lacquer is compatible with the surfaces\nwood, concrete, metal, polymer, ceramic, cables, wires which are already\ninstalled etc. The lacquer can be applied on the cupboards, shelves, installed\nwires and cables, pipes, etc. thus protecting it from damage.
