Other than crawling on your skin at night and around your house, they won’t necessarily transmit disease or harm you.

Adult beetles don’t do any harm to the household and feed on pollen. Be careful when cutting flowers though as you can also bring home some larvae that will gnaw your carpet and sweaters. Try to store them in brighter areas, as carpet beetles only feed in the dark and may find their way through the plastic. You can see carpet beetles with the naked eye.

These tiny pests destroy carpets, furniture, clothing, and on top of all that, they’re difficult to get rid of without the right knowledge and gear. Unlike wood beetles that only eat wood, carpet beetles are notoriously known to feed on anything including cotton, wool, fibers, foods, and animal products. The young beetles, named as larvae cause red bumps on the skin which causes rashes and itching. Larvae have hair and bristles on their abdomen which causes irritation to an allergic person.

However, these mottled beetles and their larvae will feed on various organic materials, from the pasta in your kitchen cupboard to your leather armchair. They often make their way in through windows, or on contaminated furniture, plants, or furs, so look out for them when bringing in new items into your home. Any crawl space is fair game for carpet beetles, as long as there’s a source of food. And remember, they eat anything and everything, so there’s no reason why they couldn’t live in your wall voids.After becoming adults, as previously stated, they can fly and therefore migrate easily from one location to another in search of food and shelter. The traps are so effective at catching pests, you likely will find out whether you have other bugs roaming around your house.
