Do you remember that little critter you saw hiding behind the self in the bathroom?
the ones that looked like this:
well here's some advice:
DON'T WAIT!
summon all your strength up not to be squeamish and
catch that insect in a jar.
find a REMOTE field far away from any house and set it free.
or keep them in a fish tank.
Don't wait for this to happen.
because those few holes can turn into these holes.
and pupae burrow into almost anything. They make holes
like these and although it would be easy to stick a needle in
the hole to kill it and remove it from the hole.
i don't condone killing unless infested.
I don't recommend sticking a needle in the hole because it could be
something else.
one way to tell a Larder Beetle larvae is the one in the hole is if
you have good eye site and either see the little hairs or run your
finger two milometers away from the hole and across it. the special
sensory hairs on it's body lets it know what's immediately around it
and if it's burrowing it will wiggle inside the hole.
but you have to catch it before the
so to prevent infestation; pleas catch the beetle before
it makes a cocoon.
pupae cocoons look like this and usually have a point.
They are hardened and don't wiggle.
they also tend to hand out of the holes as some point.
so pleas every one; if you find a Larder ( Bacon ) beetle in your home;
the responsible thing to do is bring the adult Larder Beetle to a remote
unused vacant lot that's not near houses and set them free.
