A. Vorox Woterh (Moth to You'll
Is Gnowing on Capitals Ruqs
U. S. EntomoIoeists
Tell How to Fight
Pesky Buffalo Type

A. Vorax Waterh and his more
common associates in the carpet
beetle family are acting up again.
There's a pretty good chance, in
TACT, that members of this pesky
"buhalo moth" group are gnawing
on rugs and furniture upholstering
IN your home right now.
Every day the Bureau of Entomol-
ogy and Plant Quarantine of
the Agriculture Department receives
local queries and complaints about
these household insects. They have
been discovered eating away various
materials containing wool, but they
specialize in rugs and furniture. In
this destructive stage the beetles
are worm-like larva usually about
one-eighth of an inch long.
Often at this time of the year the
beetles are observed in a compara-
lively harmless adult stage, about
the same size as the larva but bug
like solid black or mixed white,
black and yellow. Since the adults
can fly and are attracted by light,
they frequently are found on win
dows and window sills. They must
have derived the popular name
buffalo moth" from two protru-
slons like horns from the head.
Came from Turkey.
A. Vorax Waterh has a distin-
guished history in the United States,
having been first noted in the White
House about Is years ago. This
species-the mixed black, white and
yellow in the adult stage-was
traced to richly-plushed furniture
sent to the White House from
Turkey. And, although rigid meas
ures were taken to curb the spread
OF this species, known as the furni-
ture and carpet beetle, it soon
cropped up in hotels, clubs and
apartments near the Presidents
mansion. It's spread to other locali-
ties In subsequent years in attri-
buted primarily to transfer of Army,
Navy and other Government service
families.
While the carpet beetle is more
IN evidence at present, its destruc-
tiveness is year around. Indoors
and under favorable conditions the
larva lives-and eats-for one to
two years. Often the beetles pres
ence is not known until large holes
appear in rugs or furnishings.
The carpet beetle is tough Gus
toner to deal with because it takes
refuge in floor cracks and wall
crevices.
But there are proved methods of
eradication, as DR.. E. A. Back, prin-

Fumigation Effective.
Most effective treatment is fumi-
cation of entire rooms and houses,
says DR.. Back. This should be done
by experts if best results are to be
obtained, he adds.
Next best procedure, is combined
spraying and regular use of vacuum
cleanerS-at least once a week-on
floors and coverings. Oil-pyrethrum
is used in the sprays.
In addition to either of the above
methods of eradication, DR.. Back
suggests generous usage of naptha-
lene or paradichlorobenzene flakes
in storing clothing in trunks or
boxes. The flakes are scattered
among the articles like moth balls.
Since carpet beetles are active
