Wooly Bears!

We have just moved a book case after four years and are devastated to find the carpet has nearly all been eaten by these little mites (Mights!) Does anyone know of a permanent cure to get rid of this problem? Anything pleeeeeze!

Try Pro-Active-C in powder or spray form.

I've never heard of this before. Hope you get it all sorted out BB.xx

If you Google 'Pro-Active-C', they list plenty of suppliers, comes under 'Pest Control'

Oh dear, nearly every carpet in our house was attacked like that a couple of years ago by carpet beetles. They are a pain to get rid of, good luck .

Thank you all. Somebody said we have to get rid of woollen carpets. Do we?Bramley.

I can't find any reference, on reputable websites, about actually getting rid of carpets.
