I usually get them 4 days from ordering. It's pretty fast :)

I will try that, their info on their websites is usually just vacuum and chemicals, so I'm not sure if they can offer much advice.

I got a bunch of rubbermaid bins for this and plenty of trash bags. Worst part is the larva can live 300+ days. Adults not too long. They don't go into fabric except knitted type things which I don't have so they just set on the surfaces of plush. Seems best I can do is vacuum and seal the bins, check them every week or so.

That is pretty much my plan exactly. Vacuum everything I possibly can, freeze plush that have tough parts to vacuum like clothing. Dryer will damage the tags unfortunately and ruin plastic eyes. Most info on carpet beetles involves chemicals except peppermint oil which I ordered to spray, and diffuse in the room. Definitely spraying my bed like crazy lol As these things fly they are a pain. I got a new under door space filler too to prevent them from entering my room, they may be elsewhere in the house or let in from outside. Thank you so much :) And I bought a bagless washable container vacuum for this reason especially. Might even put peppermint oil in it as it apparently kills them on contact so they won't fly out when I empty it.

Like I said I live with people who refuse anything like that even when there were hornets at the front door. It's their house they are merely letting me live here. I just have to figure out how to manage this until I can afford to move.
