What Is a Varied Carpet Beetle?

Think that tiny bug on your windowsill is harmless? Think again. The varied carpet beetle’s larvae are quiet fabric destroyers, hiding in dark corners and shredding wool, silk, and feathers with ragged holes. Adults just flutter by, but the real damage happens unseen. Learn to spot the signs early, stop the infestation fast, and protect your clothes before they turn into a shredded mess.
