[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had 2 different pest companies come inspect for bedbugs after one of my kids developed a nighttime torso rash, and by their own admission neither could tell bedbug vs carpet beetle. (we wound up not having bedbugs, we did have a few carpet beetles, but neither was the source of my son’s rash in any case!) [/quote] Bedbugs and carpet beetles look nothing alike. [/quote] This. Carpet beetles are easily identifiable and don't hide out the way bedbugs do. Carpet beetles are like dust mites in that they feed on dead skin cells in the dust that's trapped in your carpet and upholstery. They do not bite humans but their larva can cause allergic reactions in some people resulting in skin welts that are mistaken for bites.[/quote] the larva look alike[/quote]
