Abstract
Insects as pests of upholstered furniture have become much more destructive during the past few years. This seems to be the result of the increased sales of upholstered furniture covered with woolen fabrics and filled with vegetable or animal materials susceptible to insect attack. Psocids and the tobacco beetle, while annoying to the owner, seldom appear to affect seriously the appearance or usefulness of furniture. Carpet beetles are minor pests, except in the case of the furniture carpet beetle. This insect is capable of rendering furniture both unsightly and unusable by devouring hair and feather upholsterings and by feeding on the wool in covers. Clothes moths; more especially the webbing clothes moth, are the most destructive of all pests since they persistently attack woolen covers, are so widely distributed, and spread so easily.
