Signs you have them
- Irregular holes in wool, silk, and felt
- Shed fuzzy larval skins
- Small beetles on windowsills in spring
Why it matters
Larvae damage rugs, clothes, and upholstery, and their hairs can irritate skin.
How we treat it
A whole-house treatment similar to a flea job, heavier on carpets and lighter along baseboards.
Prevention
- Vacuum under furniture and along edges
- Dry-clean or launder wool before storing it
- Remove old bird nests from vents and attics
