I was reading your website about how to treat carpet beetles and I just had a few questions if you don't mind. We seem to have a good infestation in our home, I don't know how we got it but they seemed to have lived in our home since we purchased it a year ago. I have noticed several of my sweaters were eaten which lead us to find the infestation. They have spread all over our house and we don't know exactly where they are coming from. Over the last 2 months we have started vacuuming all the time and have used an ortho pest control around all the baseboards and in our crawl space. This has cut down the numbers but we are still finding at least 1 or 2 a day around the house.
I am nervous about them continuing to eat my clothes. I put the items that needed to be dry cleaned in the dryer on high for a half an hour and the ones that could be washed normally I cleaned. I also inspected them thoroughly for bugs and holes. (Now all my wool and cashmere is stored in zipper bags) How do I know I got all the eggs off them though? and that they will not get eaten any more. Should any other treatments be done?
Also you keep mentioning about treating the carpets. Our home has all wooden floors except for 2 area rugs, 1 wool and 1 synthetic and a 2 month old industrial carpet that we had installed in our basement. I have vacuumed the rugs but how to I ensure they are safe and there are no eggs on them?
Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated. These bugs are starting to get the best of me and I am going nuts trying to get rid of them. I feel like they are eating the money right out of my wallet.
