Bug
Beetles can cause serious damage to homes and belongings – especially when they infest wood structures or organic materials. Carpet beetles and powderpost beetles are two of the most destructive types found in Columbus, often going unnoticed until fabrics are ruined or wood is compromised. These pests thrive in quiet, undisturbed areas like attics, basements, crawl spaces, and storage rooms.
Reproduction & Lifespan: Carpet beetles lay eggs in dark, fibrous areas such as closets, furniture, and air vents. Their larvae feed on wool, silk, leather, and pet hair, causing damage over several months. Powderpost beetles, on the other hand, lay eggs directly in wood pores. Their larvae tunnel deep into hardwoods, like oak, ash, and walnut – over a lifecycle that can last months to several years, depending on conditions. Adult beetles emerge through tiny exit holes, often leaving behind fine wood dust (frass).
Common Columbus Species:
Beetles enter homes through cracks in siding, vents, windows, and doors – or hitch a ride on infested furniture, rugs, or firewood. Carpet beetles settle in dark areas like closets and attics, feeding on natural fibers. Powderpost beetles target unfinished hardwoods, laying eggs inside wood pores. As larvae develop, they cause damage that often goes unnoticed until exit holes or frass appear. Early inspection is key to stopping infestations before they spread.
