    Oh no...I hope they don't get into your food supplies. We get dermestid beetles in our cat's food. Posted 3 years ago

      They do at times in the summer so we indeed have to be careful! and we freeze all seeds from the birds before use to kill the eggs. Posted 3 years ago

        Good idea! I heat soil and other things, like pine cones, before bringing them inside. Posted 3 years ago
