Carpet Beetle

Found indoors in dark, undisturbed areas such as carpets, closets, and baseboards.

Larvae consume animal-based fibers like wool, silk, feathers, and leather. Adults feed on pollen and nectar.

Larvae actively avoid light and hide in dark crevices while causing structural damage. Adults are attracted to light and often fly near windows.

Larvae cause significant damage to fabrics, clothing, and carpets. They do not bite humans, but shed hairs can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions.
