I have these bugs on my window sills and in my books nearby.
Dead carpet beetles on window sills.
They are not bed bugs and i would be happy to know they are book lice.
At this time carpet beetles are climbing walls and flying to windows.
Since carpet beetles are attracted to food and dust particles cleaning surfaces with vinegar will deter these pests and others like ticks and mites from feeding off them.
Adult carpet beetles are attracted to light and can be found near light fixtures and window sills.
We have seen them flying around lamps in the evening in our basement family room.
In fact finding adults on your window sills is usually the first sign of an infestation and by then there is plenty of damage already done.
So what do carpet beetles look like anyway.
I think they are coming from a storage area in my bas.
You re the incompetent one.
Wipe surfaces like coat hangers shelves cupboards drawers window sills etc.
For tough stains or in.
Once the larvae become adult beetles they are able to fly and are attracted to light.
Tiny beetles slowly climbing walls or dead at windowsills.
With a cloth dipped in a solution of equal parts vinegar and water.
When i read about book lice i thought this is it however these bugs are in my bed that i recently moved next to the window and they bite like crazy.
After the larvae pupate and the adult beetles emerge in early spring they are attracted to light in an attempt to get outside to mate.
I clean them everyday and the next day there are several more.
I have these small brownish hard shell winged bugs all over my window sill and sliding door track.
I thought for a minute i might have bed bugs.
Remember carpet beetle larvae cause damage not adult carpet beetles so if you see adult carpet beetles in the home you should look in dark areas for larvae.
