Carpet beetles, or so-called “buffalo
moths,” are common household pests
usually associated In their destructive

they are not so destructive as clothes
moths, because they reproduce only

Experienced housewives throughout
the North are fam iliar with the stout,
oval, reddish-brown hairy erubs or
larvae of the common carpet beetle,
found beneath carpets or In cloth

longer, slender, golden-brown larvae
of the black carpet beetle, with its
tuft of golden bristles, is more com

All carpet beetle larvae feed upon
fabrics or upon various articles. In
