Product Overview

Varied Carpet Beetle Traps (10 pack) are easy to use, non toxic traps that contain pheromones used to lure carpet beetles and rid them from your home. Carpet beetles and larvae will eat anything in your house from organic materials from cloth fibers to human food. The pheromone in the traps last for 6 weeks and are pesticide free, allowing children and pets to be around.

These traps should be used for monitoring purposes only and should not be used as the sole method of treatment if carpet beetles are present.  If activity is detected, proper sanitation and treatment is required to fully eradicate the infestation.  Please take a look at our Carpet Beetle Treatment Guides for step-by-step instructions on how to treat a carpet beetle infestation.

    Didn't work

    By Dee on 11/29/2015

    Unfortunately, these traps did nothing. I know for certain that I have the varied carpet beetle, but not one goes near the trap-not a Single one. Disappointing to have spent almost a hundred bucks on what did nothing.

    Didn't work

    By Scott on 03/19/2017

    I know we have varied carpet beetles, I've seen them but never in these incredibly expensive traps.

    Expert ResponseExpert response:
    Thank you for your comments! We are sorry that you have not seen the results you desired from the traps you received. These traps are designed to attract the adult carpet beetles when using the included lures. You may have difficulty catching adults if you are near the end of an infestation and are seeing mostly only the larvae. Please let us know if you have further questions.

    Worked perfectly!

    By Db on 04/16/2018

    After a carpet beetle infestation last year I put these up around the house to see if I had effectively prevented them this year. They worked exactly as described to help locate the areas that needed more cleaning and treatment. Trapped a half dozen in one area that I thought might need more treatment--they're definitely effective! Only complaint is I wish the traps came in packs fewer than ten.

    Worked as described

    By William on 03/11/2019

    Verified Purchase

    Trapped adult male Varied Carpet Beetles as described. Placed traps in sunny elevated areas (on windowsills and near attic vent) during early springtime and caught several insects even in areas that had been thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with hydroprene (Gentrol IGR) the previous fall. Trapped over a dozen specimen in the attic. Glue was strong enough to catch a small mouse. Not a 100% solution, but I'm buying more this spring anyway.

Q
Would the most effective time to set the Varied Carpet Beetle Traps Kit (10 Pack) be in the Spring when the beetle have grown out of the larvae stage?

Would it help to set these traps now in the Winter?

You should use the Varied Carpet Beetle Traps Kit anytime you see the adults. Since these traps are active for about 6 weeks, we would not recommend putting them out if you do not see evidence of carpet beetles or have immediate threat of an infestation. Please see our Carpet Beetle Control page for more information about treating for this pest.
