Help! I have just found a few adult varied carpet beetle larvae crawling over a cluster of old loom reeds I was about to rehouse. I understand there are pheromone traps for these guys. Does anyone have a vendor to recommend - price, alas, IS an object - or any advice as to best placement, how many, how best to detect where they might be coming from? I suspect our historic house, which had some larvae brought in on bits of raw wool used in our loom display. Are these critters likely to crawl into boxes, or fly up under muslin dust covers to get at wool or silk?
