Adrienne, If you have mice, dermestid’s might be living on the remains. Are you monitoring for mice (best to trap with snap traps) or sticky traps for insects? Do you have a definite ID on the bugs? Also – there is often plenty of proteins in the dust for them to live on – dead insects, wool fibers etc. Finally – is your housekeeping up to standard? Is there a way you can clean under the dioramas and displays? Just a couple of suggestions! Good Luck!!

I did not thank it would attract carpet beetles, but I want to make sure. I know that they fed on natural fibers, such as fur, feathers, and other organic fibers. I just cannot figure out what the beetles are feeding on. They seem to be in just the one area. We have another section with animal skins but no beetles are were found on the skins. Only around this one area. I thought their might had been mouse or other animal that crawl under the display and die but there is no smell and did not see a dead animal remains, in the part that we could see. Unless it is way up in the case where we cannot get to.

No – carpet beetle larva eat wool, silk and other proteins. The larva will bore into wood to pupate – but termite frass is not their target.

They go from lot to hardly seeing them. With the change in weather they are on the move or they have ran out of food. We finally were able to open up a permeant display look under the area. We were hoping we could crawl into the space see what was their like maybe dead animal or lot of dust. One could not go all the way under it we only were able to see part of it from the opening because the open that we thought was big was tiny space, with large cover. We are looking into getting a camera that will go down inside of it. Until than we trying to control keep them from damaging more items. We took a sample of the area it had shedding of carpet beetles and something else that looked like maybe eggs? They are the shape of corn. I do not thank it is dirt. Does anyone know what it is?
