What is it and how can I get rid of it?

Hi, I found these little worms under my bed.

I'd like to know what this is and how to get rid of it. It was pretty dusty under my bed, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Thank you very much for an answer, I am really worried because I am really disgusted by such things

This is a bacon beetle larva, of which there are several:

Which exactly from this family (such as carpet, Berlin beetles, etc.) remains quite the same, because all are among the material pests in the household.

The bugs fly to the window, they want to get out, but their larvae eat textiles, wool fabrics, mattresses, upholstery, feathers, carpets and some more – making them unusable for us.

Please compare – if yes and if above all several show up:

One should look for where more beetles and especially larvae can be found:

Please control everything exactly:

  • in bed, bed frame, mattress, pillows and blankets
  • in the wardrobe, also in the edges, corners and ridges
  • on garments, furs and other woolen fabrics
  • Dry food for pets
  • dry food, such as cookies, dry meat…

Wash infested textiles at least 60° or freeze for a few days, dispose of infested food outside the house.

Soils suck very well, here also the edges and strips do not forget, because these larvae are masters in hiding.

I’m sure I am. This is not rare, believe me; )

Can be, yes, if you include the bed and the surrounding area, all edges and corners, even those on the floor.
