| A number of beetles infest and damage natural products like hide and leather, fur, wool, grains and dried plant material. Some are highly destructive. Disposal of infested materials and the cleaning of storage areas are the best controls. Dry-cleaning of fabrics and rugs is useful. Store only clean fabrics. Moth balls and other chemicals are generally not effective and may be hazardous. |
