You have an outdoor pest - no threat to collections. However, if you allow larger dead insects (large flies, wasps, beetles, American cockroaches) to lay about your building, carpet beetle larvae will devour them, leaving piles of frass in their wake. The adult carpet beetles will readily fly to other sources of protein in your building and lay more eggs.

We dont know these guys are indoor or outdoor pests. They like eating historical paper? we are very concerned about that. Any advice will be grateful. thanks Javier Tacón Universidad Complutense de Madrid Biblioteca Histórica Dpto. de Conservación y Restauración c/ Noviciado, 3. 28015 Madrid. tel: 913946602 fax: 913946599 ------------------------------------------------------------- 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
