Varied Carpet Beetle Traps (10 pack) are easy to use, non toxic traps that contain pheromones used to lure carpet beetles and rid them from your home. Carpet beetles and larvae will eat anything in your house from organic materials from cloth fibers to human food. The pheromone in the traps last for 6 weeks and are pesticide free, allowing children and pets to be around.
These traps should be used for monitoring purposes only and should not be used as the sole method of treatment if carpet beetles are present. If activity is detected, proper sanitation and treatment is required to fully eradicate the infestation. Please take a look at our Carpet Beetle Treatment Guides for step-by-step instructions on how to treat a carpet beetle infestation.

I know we have varied carpet beetles, I've seen them but never in these incredibly expensive traps.

Worked perfectly!
By Db on 04/16/2018
After a carpet beetle infestation last year I put these up around the house to see if I had effectively prevented them this year. They worked exactly as described to help locate the areas that needed more cleaning and treatment. Trapped a half dozen in one area that I thought might need more treatment--they're definitely effective! Only complaint is I wish the traps came in packs fewer than ten.

Worked as described

Verified Purchase
Trapped adult male Varied Carpet Beetles as described. Placed traps in sunny elevated areas (on windowsills and near attic vent) during early springtime and caught several insects even in areas that had been thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with hydroprene (Gentrol IGR) the previous fall. Trapped over a dozen specimen in the attic. Glue was strong enough to catch a small mouse. Not a 100% solution, but I'm buying more this spring anyway.

Would it help to set these traps now in the Winter?
You should use the Varied Carpet Beetle Traps Kit anytime you see the adults. Since these traps are active for about 6 weeks, we would not recommend putting them out if you do not see evidence of carpet beetles or have immediate threat of an infestation. Please see our Carpet Beetle Control page for more information about treating for this pest.

The description says they last 6 weeks. How long will they last if I just store them in the original packaging for awhile before using them all?
Varied Carpet Beetle Traps Kit (10 pack) will last for 6 weeks after opening. Unopened they will last indefinately.
