Signs of Varied Carpet Beetles:
Carpet beetles are attracted to homes that are warm, comfortable, and have food sources that interest them. They feed on items that contain animal protein like: feathers, furs, silk, wool, and carpets. Carpet beetles can be introduced to a home when infested items are brought inside. Adult carpet beetles fly inside through open doors and windows to lay eggs. People often mistake larva stage for bedbugs when they hide in the seams of mattresses and box springs.
