Following my recent post on Tobacco Beetles (which I now think may be common carpet beetles) but either way does anybody know if they eat foam? Thanks

LOL!!
I don't know about foam but they do love soft tissue paper oceanauk. I found a tissue that had fallen over the back of a cupboard (must move the funiture more often!) & there were tiny little round holes in it. I'd do a quick check around the back of cupboards (inside) too where a loo roll or tissues might have been pushed behind other things. These tiny little things make a lot of work don't they?!
