I've cleaned the laundry basket thoroughly several times since I saw the first one, but the beetles must have laid their eggs back in the woodwork where I can't get at them.<BR/><BR/>All I can do is keep a close eye on the area around the baseboard, and squash every single one as it comes out. Good thing they're slow-moving!Susannah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923063322849781223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-13573951272880663892008-10-20T21:43:00.000-07:002008-10-20T21:43:00.000-07:00um, gross but myself, i just spent probably 5 hour...um, gross but myself, i just spent probably 5 hours researching these things. i have found them, like alot of people, around the baseboards and where the wall meets the floor or counter. i have also found many in my washroom which is strange because things in there are moved around a lot and there is a lot of light. i also clean it out often. ugh...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-16900131475755849992008-10-10T10:25:00.000-07:002008-10-10T10:25:00.000-07:00Hi, Trace!Cats are good.

No.<BR/><BR/>I shake all my woolens in use out every few weeks. The ones not in use at the moment go into plastic bags, well sealed.<BR/><BR/>I read recently that there's not a house in the world that doesn't host a carpet beetle. They fly in the windows and doors and vents; your next-door neighbours have them. So much for eradicating them. The best we can do is to keep their numbers down.Susannah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923063322849781223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-46062102275837947582008-10-10T07:38:00.000-07:002008-10-10T07:38:00.000-07:00hi there-i live in apartment with 4 cats (i KNOW!!...hi there-i live in apartment with 4 cats (i KNOW!!) and my apt. facilities guy said that these beetles many times come in with your dry cat or dog kibble!! i do see them in my kitchen alot, thought it was the new apt!! but maybe i brought them with me. i'm getting out the vacuum this weekend. good luck everyone, and thanks for all the info. 2 custom made wool jackets wrecked--it's WAR now! =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-70398053655756966882008-02-23T03:18:00.000-08:002008-02-23T03:18:00.000-08:00Thanks, Jean and Hugh.Today was a vacuuming day fo...Thanks, Jean and Hugh.<BR/><BR/>Today was a vacuuming day for me, too.
