Summary "Carpet Beetles and Their Control" by E. A. Back is a scientific publication produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, likely written in the early 20th century. This bulletin discusses the characteristics and life cycles of carpet beetles, commonly referred to as "buffalo moths," which are pests associated with household fabrics. The focus of the book is on identifying these beetles and providing effective control measures to manage their infestations in homes. The book begins by detailing the different species of carpet beetles, emphasizing their destructive feeding habits on fabrics such as wool, silk, and hair. It provides in-depth descriptions of the common carpet beetle, black carpet beetle, varied carpet beetle, and furniture carpet beetle, including their appearance and life cycles. Importantly, the publication outlines various control methods for carpet beetles, including the use of naphthalene and paradichlorobenzene, cold storage, fumigation techniques, and preventive measures to safeguard household items. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the behavior of carpet beetles to effectively mitigate their presence and protect vulnerable materials from damage.
