Identify and Prevent Beetles
The most common of all beetle species is the Varied Carpet Beetle, with their larvae known as 'Woolly Bears'. Due to the fact that it feeds on natural fibers and can damage carpets, furniture and clothing, this pest insect has been acknowledged as a serious pest. Although thorough cleaning and treatment are completed, this pest is quite difficult to control and remove.
The adult, which is has a shape similar to a ladybird and featuring black, yellow, white markings, lays eggs is batches of 20-100, which hatch in 2-4 weeks, dependent on conditions. The beetle’s larvae are small, brown and hairy with a group of three bunches of golden spear-headed hairs on either side of the rear segments. The hairs of the larval forms of beetle can penetrate human skin and cause irritation.
Carpet beetle’s larvae have the potential to cause severe damage to products containing keratin: animal origin fur, wool, leather, silk, even dried animal bodies. There are mentions of larval beetle infestations of plant origin food products, such as cereals and fibres,
The larva survives for approximately one year and can sustain long period of starvation. The pupa forms within the last larval skin and "overwinters" for a period between 10-30 days before emerging as the adult beetle.

Isolation of their food stuffs and treatment of all possible alighting surfaces must be carried out. They are often found within bird nests feeding on feathers and excrement, spreading to central heating lagging and hot water pipe runs, airing cupboards, clothes, wardrobes, etc, making it easy to see why this pest can be somewhat difficult to control; unless this is undertaken by a trained professional.
