Nature and Culture:
Carpet beetles are insect pests of the dermestid family. Adults feed mainly on pollen and nectar, but the larvae feed on the animal protein keratin found in wool, other animal hair and feathers, and may also feed on stored grain products.
Carpet beetles were named when most carpets were made of wool. Today, most carpeting is composed of synthetic materials that carpet beetles will not feed on, though carpets made of wool or plant fibers (sisal, jute) are still susceptible to carpet beetle attack.arpet beetles may be the most common, and most commonly overlooked, pests in homes. They belong to a group of beetles known as dermestids. Named after their habit of eating dead skin, dermestids actually consume a wide range of non-living animal and plant matter.
