Carpet Beetles

Sep 03, 2011 07:18

I just looked through the tags but couldn't find anything recent on carpet beetles. I've lived in my apartment for a bit over a year and I have seen the occasional carpet beetle here and there mostly in the warmer months.  It seems as though the past month they've been popping up more often. I've been finding a few dead ones in my cats water bowl and on my bedside table and desk. They are quite small and I haven't noticed any damage to clothes or furniture. It is not an infestation but I would really like them gone because they are starting to become an annoyance. I live by myself and am a pretty tidy person.

I have hardwood floors and 2 small area rugs and I am not quite sure where they are coming from? Baseboards? Walls?  The last time the exterminator came over I showed him one and he basically said that there is nothing that he can do which I don't quite believe.

Has anyone tried any at home remedies that have worked? I also have a cat so please keep that in mind. Thanks!
