How would you like to be walking, running, biking, gardening, etc. and have one of these hefty things slam into your face – or mouth?!! Gag, wretch!

Clothes moths, however, prefer to feed on items contaminated with organic materials such as spilled food, body fluids, fungal spores or pollen. All moths and beetles progress through egg, larva, pupa and adult stages. Often most of the eating and damage is done by the larvae.

Beekeepers MUST kill the adult small hive beetles before egg and larva stage. Larvae eat thru honey comb in search of bee pollen making honey leak and ferment,called sliming. Bees then abscond from hive leaving a sticky mess even other bees barely rob. To clean up I put boxes over ant mounds to begin removing crud,then a few days in the sun to dry up honey slime. This is going to be a major beekeeping problem if not controlled in states like Florida,Georgia,North South Carolina,Alabama,Mississippi,Tennessee and Louisiana.

Carpet Beetles Feeding On Cat Fur

Carpet beetles are small (5-7mm) mottled or striped round beetles. They are good fliers and can be found in the garden. The adult causes no damage. It is the larvae, sometimes known as ‘woolly bears’ that damage woolens, and other fabrics of animal origin. There are a number of species that frequently infest homes and places where animal fabric and fur is stored. They are frequently found devouring the woolens and carpets of New Zealand homes. If you find the larvae or pupae in your home eradication and control can be achieved by a combination of thorough vacuuming to remove larvae, pupae and animal hairs, and insecticidal treatment of affected areas. We recommend using Deltaforce Plus insecticide for DIY treatments. Call us on 0800 83 70 70 or email: service@flybusters.co.nz
