It provides in-depth descriptions of the common carpet beetle, black carpet beetle, varied carpet beetle, and furniture carpet beetle, including their appearance and life cycles. Importantly, the publication outlines various control methods for carpet beetles, including the use of naphthalene and paradichlorobenzene, cold storage, fumigation techniques, and preventive measures to safeguard household items.
