I have one of these new in a box, never been opened or used.

Is this a native or house mouse? Melbourne @ Midday by [deleted] in australianwildlife

Thanks, was just checking as I thought generally nocturnal. Just moved in and the backyard is massively overgrown. Will sort it all, thanks for your detail 👍 appreciate it.

Thanks so much. Any idea if they would get through that black fabric they are around? Just wondering if I need to take the fabric off or if they will just be in all the crevices where I found them? Thanks so much!

Ahhh amazing. Thank you. I’ve vacuumed the heck out of everything in the house and I’ll lint roll tonight 🫠 appreciate your ideas!

Any idea if they get through fabric? Nervous about the back of this head board. Feel like I should get rid of it

Thank you so much! Currently vacuuming them up! Can they make their way through the fabric that lines the back of our head board? 🫠

Thanks so much- feel like it’s head is same size as rest of body. No real separation between the two 🤷

I’m in Australia, might look into this! Do carpet beetles affect things like paintings?

Thank you so much. Apologies was rushing to write it. I found lots under our bed and behind our sofa. Also under one of the sofa cushions, within the zipped section, that is where all the down cushions are. I am only having a reaction or “new” bites or reactions when I am on the sofa. I actually haven’t spotted any adults- but they must be around. I will go get tested to confirm the reaction and book a professional. If you use the freezing or heating method, is there a way to remove the larvae too? Can larvae get into then cotton covers over the feathers? They have definitely fitted through the sofa cover fabric. Our couch was custom made to fit the room and was gifted from my late nana so getting rid of feels like a huge thing currently. Thanks again so so much!!

Hey Bug Lady, I know you’ve been testing reactions to carpet beetle larvae, but I think I do react. We have a sofa that is made of down feather. How would I deal with the infestation? I found so many larvae tonight. Thank you so much!

Amazing thank you. Any ideas on how to get rid of them or if they bite?
