Insects Limited, Inc. manufacturers an extensive line of pheromone traps. However, an insect electrocutor unit, mounted low and hooked to a timer works quite well for all the carpet beetle species adults. Time it for 3 or 4 hours a night when the storage area is dark.

Last season, our pest control provider gave us some “carpet beetle” traps that were later proved ineffective: our traps caught nothing even though we had continued sightings of a few flying around and later our pest control provider said the same traps were used in an absolutely infested space and were unable to trap anything. They have been unable to recommend another trap. I looked around on the Trapping section on Museum Pests, but I figure direct endorsements are not polite. I am unsure of the brand they were using here, but the pheromone vials were placed on yellow Catch-It glue traps. Perhaps the Catch-It was not sticky enough for a beetle as well... If anyone does not mind making a personal endorsement, can you please recommend a specific brand for black carpet beetle pheromones? Thank you! ------------------------------------------------------------- Tounsubscribe from this list send an email to imail...@museumpests.net and inthe body put: "unsubscribe pestlist" Any problems email l...@zaks.com ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list send an email to imail...@museumpests.net and in the body put: "unsubscribe pestlist" Any problems email l...@zaks.com
