Fabric pests have one particular thing in common - they are household and warehouse pests that have the ability to digest keratin. As mentioned above, the group of beetles known as carpet beetles do more damage than clothes moths. Black Carpet Beetles are not only more common than other carpet beetles in the United States but they also do more damage than the others in its particular group.
As you can assume by its name, this beetle has a black color when it matures to its adult stage. Damage to materials can be blamed on the larval stage of this fabric pest. The Black Carpet Beetle larvae consume certain parts of dead animals including horns, hair, hide and fur. Known as general feeders these beetles are not strictly limited to eating only parts of dead animals. The other foods they prefer are what make them unwanted in our homes - grains, nuts, cereals and cotton products.
