Re: [pestlist] Carpet beetle

[WLouche]

If you had an infestation in the past you may not have contained  it. 
Carpet beetle will hide under base boards, flooring and in walls where  dust 
accumulates. The new carpeting and drapes should have been  monitored before 
installation. Many new items come infested from  manufacture, warehouses, 
shippers or from retail outlets. Diligence in  cleaning is your best weapon. 
Others will offer solutions involving organic and  inorganic chemicals, baited 
traps etc Some will help others will aggravate  the problem. One 
solution, remove all the Art, anoxic treat and clean, heat the  building and 
contents to 140 degrees.

We  have carpet beetles at one of our sites that has recently reopened.   
We thought we had it under control, but yesterday the curtains in one  
room were covered in larvae.
What is the best way to treat carpet  beetles and larvae for an entire 
building?  The museum has three  floors with artifacts on all three 
floors.  So far the problem is  contained to the reproduction carpet and 
curtains and has not bothered the  few textiles on exhibit.
Thanks for any advice.

  As already said, make sure you clean clean clean.  I
  would freeze those curtains and anything else that
  can be safely frozen.  See the NPS conserve o gram
  for more information on freezing.  Sounds like it is
  time to call in an IPM professional for systematic
  monitoring and tracking down the source.  Past
  outbreaks I have heard of and encountered were due
  to dead animals in walls or under floor boards. 
  Make sure you aren't using any rodent bait as this
  could lead to dead rodents hiding in your building
  structure.  Good luck!

 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.

RE: [pestlist] Carpet Beetle Pheromone Traps

Dear Ryan and others,

We have a short tip sheet about pheromone traps on the museumpests.net
website that addresses your concerns.  It can be found in the Monitoring
section of the site under the Trapping tab.

 

Best,

Subject: [pestlist] Carpet Beetle Pheromone Traps

 

Hello all,

 

Recently, I purchased a case of Varied Carpet Beetle pheromone traps to
monitor for adult carpet beetle activity inside of a fabric storage facility
we have on property. This facility has a history of sporadic carpet beetle
activity, so it seemed logical at the time to install the pheromone traps so
that chances of early detection could be increased.

 

Since the installation of the traps, I have wondered about the wisdom of
using them in an area that does not have an active infestation of carpet
beetles. By their nature, do pheromone traps increase the likelihood of an
infestation by drawing carpet beetles into the area? If the radius of trap
attraction is, say, ten feet wide around the area of installation, the
chances of attracting adult carpet beetles from outside is somewhat remote.
If, however, the radius of attraction is much wider than that, there might
be a need to rethink the installation of the traps and go with a visual
inspection (which would be almost impossible given the volume of the
material) or some other means that would be less likely to create  problems.


 

Obviously, the detection of adult carpet beetles on a pheromone trap is only
an indicator light that would facilitate a thorough inspection of nearby
materials for activity since it is the larvae that cause the damage to the
fabric material. 

 

A post from anyone having experience with these pheromone traps would be a
great help!

Hi Rachael

I have been playing phone tag with Jerry Shiner maybe we will catch each other 
soon. Anyway have you been able to make any more headway into the topic we 
discussed a few days ago. If this is more likely to happen than not then I will 
go to the GC Office for guidance. If not I will let it slide for now.
