Dermestid attractant tablets are designed to detect the presence of dermestid beetles such as Varied Carpet Beetles (Anthrenus verbasci), Two-Spot Carpet Beetles (Attagenus pellio), and Larder Beetle (Dermestes lardarius). These lures are made up of a combination of multiple food attractants that have been tested both in the laboratory and in the field on dermestid beetle larvae and adults. Other species of dermestid beetles will be attracted to the animal protein blend.
They will attract both male and female, adult and larvae.
This tablet lure contains no chemicals harmful to humans, however, animal proteins may carry bacteria and microorganisms hazardous to food quality and safety. Do not use these items in areas where it is likely to come in contact with food materials, food handling surfaces or utensils.
Dermestid Beetle Attractant Tablet will remain attractive for 1 year. However, since the attractants are of animal origin it has potential to spoil under hot conditions.
For long term storage the pellets should be refrigerated.
The presence of larvae indicates possible infestations nearby and the higher the number of larvae, the more severe the problem. It is possible that larvae may move into the traps quickly and thus early inspection of the traps will give earlier warning of damaging larvae.
The larval stages as well as adult male and female beetles are attracted to the lure and are readily stuck in the glue of the trapping system. Both the Museum Trap (supplied as standard as part of the kit format) and the Black Floor Trap are designed to capture and hold the larvae on the sticky glue surface. As such they can be placed closer to artefacts without risk of getting entangled. When used with the black floor trap, it is possible to place these into pockets or between layers of cloth or below taxidermy mounts etc.
