Vacuuming the undersides of wool carpets that cannot be frozen. Particularly
paying close attention 6 inches in from the edges of area carpets or rugs. I
inspect under edges of rugs in August here seems to be the time to catch them
before any real damage can occur. JTV

Hi all,
This was found upstairs in a draw. The area is the front desk where the phone
and entryway is located. Where the public visit the exhibits. The area has
carpet. Also people that have been working the front desk have been leaving
processed foods. I did not see any adults, only the larvae. I am unsure if
it is Furniture Carpet Beetle (Anthremus flavipes) (LeConte) or Buffalo carpet
Beetle (Anthrermus scrophulaia.) I am thinking it is the Furniture Carpet
Beetle ((Anthremus flavipes) (LeConte). We do have textiles, and wool in the
collections. Am I correct on the ID. What are some recommendations on how
to keep them contained to the one area. I know you can place items in
freezers. The draws do not come out of the desk and I not thank they will pull
the carpet up any time soon. We currently have a few textiles artifacts on
display. Should I recommend that the textiles be placed in the freezer and
what other recommendation should I make?
Thanks for any help with this.
