Product Information

I’m pretty sure my problem started when I was an avid thrift store and garage sale / flea market shopper. Despite cleaning everything I buy before bringing it into the house, just a couple of eggs or larvae can cause a massive infestation! my clothes have been in bags since I moved here. what a mess. I’m too scared to put them on hangers in closet. I’m sure they are everywhere, underwide furniture, windowsills. I hate them. I’m terrified of doing the wrong thing and damaging the dress which is made of heavy lace with a lot of beading and is obviously not washable.

SPP. Thank you! They truly do cover themselves in what they eat. Look like. Ball of lint but when caught and sprayed while in plastic they move. We had our carpet replaced with hardwood last winter, so I am hopeful we will be able to eventually cut down on the population. I’ve read that borax won’t kill insects but boric acid will. I have my drawers coated in borax at th moment. Should I clean it up and go get boric acid? I’ve read conflicting things.

there is nothing in the components used to build a modern day home these things feed on. These things are looking to feed and breed.. Feed is what will keep them around. If you have many of these everyday, you need to find the source that they are feeding on.. It is there. The problem is, it maybe in your walls and i don’t mean the materials used to build them. I have cats and threw out their bedding, their brand new cat tree and all the toys. They’re confused about all the changes, but short of burning all my stuff I’m trying to do everything else that I can. My home is on the brink of a super-multi-critter infestation. I’ve done the hour after hour of the unreasonable amount of research after seeing each type of bug (carpet beetles; dusty mites; pantry, carpet, and clothes moths; spiders; and various types of ants). Patricia Reynolds, Read blogs. Good info. Just wondering if you can give me your current status on infestation and your physical well being. What you wrote is important to me and I really need to know something new. Thank you. J & Kari in Eugene, OR

moving place to place buying new clothes each day on the cheap and staying different places til u r rid of them. not an easy thing to do. I would like to know how to get rid of them effectively for i have a 9 month old baby and I don’t want it to affect him.

I bought new mattress, a good vacuum, and a good ol` permethrin and propoxur barrier application, should sort out the carpet party! ….till next year.

Moths lay their eggs in dark, undisturbed places, so the carpet underneath sofas or behind pieces of seldom-moved furniture makes a perfect nursery for their larvae. These greedy youngsters feast upon natural fibres in carpets and rugs and can leave sizeable holes in their wake. In the past, carpet beetles have been a problem for homeowners because they can destroy carpets, clothes, and other materials. This is especially true if you live in a humid area or if your home has old furniture that's infested with these pests.

UPDATE…It’s been almost a year ago when John & I first encountered the horrific presence of cb, white flies, mites, super bugs (whatever) and the four stages of their life cycle. Too much, Too hard, Too fast. We are alive & mostly well. If you live in a humid area, it’s especially important to be vigilant in monitoring for signs of beetles, as they thrive in these conditions. Look for larva, eggs, or adult beetles and take action immediately if you see any evidence of an infestation. Step 5. Prevent Future Infestations I am curious if u have been able to identify what this pest is that acts like a flea but is not. I am on the east coast & do not garden so I am unable to relate to any plant situations. We have shrubs etc outside near our front door & mulch from landscaping done over the summer. I’ve been told by an exterminator mulch often is the culprit for many home pests. The mulch becomes infested before it gets to the nursery. Ironically, my pest problem is also in my car & I park outside, in my driveway, facing our house, which is directly in front of our mulched front bed. But it’s winter. We now have snow & I’ve done enough cleaning, investigating etc to last 7 lifetimes & am not about to start examining my mulch. Thought I’d pass the mulch info on to you though. Maybe u r somewhere warmer. Conversely, I’ve been told most mulch is treated so any pests attracted to it will not be. Leaves one wondering who to believe.take tea tree oil the one from argentina you can find it in cvs or rite aide mix with olive oil 2 teaspoons and put shower cap on for 3 hrs rinse out then put apple cider vinegar in your hair for 1 hr with another shower cap on comb though wash hair with clear shampoo keep doing that for 3 weeks Add alcohol to your laundry. Sprayed soiled clothes in the hamper. Spray leather furniture and fabric as well. The idea is to survive! Others have no idea how this affect us until they experience this infestation. Spray inside containers. Use outside vegetable treatment around the outside. It works, and please let me know? The thing is, I’m so afraid they might hitch a ride with me to anywhere I move. Can they be living in my stuff (books, photo albums, etc). Will putting all my clothes in the dryer on high ensure they aren’t alive on my clothes. I just want to make sure that I leave them here.
