Carpet beetles

[DIDO.1 22,847]

Apparently a previous company has sprayed these carpet beetles 4 times!! 

 

I was a little suspicious when they were described as running across the worktops at night

These pads have been in the van 3 days and the poor cnuts are still alive

Whoever sprayed those "carpet beetles" 4 times needs their gear taking off them and finding another job.

Good luck, to be honest I hate dealing with them.  How on earth could anyone spray them as Carpet Beetles?!

I think they are a piece of pis now we have gels and baits.

Really rare on my patch. I did some Germans about a month ago, bloke had been travelling away and had brough them back with him in some kitchen equipment. Luckily they phoned straight away and we managed to hit  it super hard with hoy-hoys and gel and sorted it relatively quickly. I guess in some big cities CR are a pesties biggest earner.

I prob see one case a year. I think they are rare everywhere now except in housing blocks full of Africans

I'm guessing you have never heard of Slough (or it's reputation)

The place is alive with the German (not sure I've actually found any other type), primarily town centre Food shops, of which there are loads, and a nightmare to clear, sort one out and they turn up again in 5 minutes from next door, and so it goes. Proofing is virtually impossible as the rats do the same!

So it's the same problem I had in the tower block....not the clearing of em but the re infestation from next door. 

Foreigners?

Never spray those carpet beetles. These beetles are only controllable under professional care.
