What are worms who live in carpeting where carpet beetles are found?

I have found white worms in the vacuum cleaner bag they also appear to be heavily infesting my carpet and look alot like snakes. What could this be?

The worms are probably the larval form of the carpet beetles.

"Routine vacuuming effectively removes carpet beetles which are already present, as well as hair and lint which could support future infestations. Particular attention while vacuuming should be paid to the edges of carpets, along baseboards, underneath furniture and similar "quiet" areas where carpet beetles prefer to feed.

Insecticide applications directed into infested areas are often useful as a supplement to good housekeeping. Products containing active ingredients such as chlorpyrifos, permethrin, bendiocarb and allethrin are effective against carpet beetles. Sprays may be applied to carpets (especially beneath and along the edge adjacent to the baseboard), underneath furniture and other likely areas of infestation where prolonged contact with humans is unlikely. Clothing and bedding should not be sprayed and should be removed before treatment.

Control of carpet beetles requires patience and a thorough inspection to locate all sources of infestation. Elimination of widespread, ongoing infestations may require the services of a professional pest control operator."

How do I remove dust containing PBDE from my room?

Hi, I used to have a mattress and couch in my room which contained PBDE as the fire retardant. PBDE has been linked with growth and hormone problems and I'm only 15, so I need to get rid of all the particles. I have a HEPA vacuum cleaner, so that's perfect, but my question is will just wipe the dusty surfaces in my room (e.g. the bed, skirting boards, desk, shevles) with a wet cotton rag remove these PBDE particles aswell?

Yes, dusting with a damp cloth will pick up the loose particles from solid surfaces. Rinse the cloth regularly for maximum efficiency. Vacuuming should take care of the rest. Keep in mind that you will have to vacuum and dust a number of times to remove everything.

http://www.bestvacuumreviews.com/best-vacuum-for-pet-hair.html

For what it's worth, the power rating (motor amperage ) has little to do with how much suction a vacuum cleaner has. An Oreck machine, for example, only has a 4 amp motor, yet it has as more suction than the average cheap, leaky Walmart vacuum that has a 12 amp motor.

What is the best vaccuum for stairs?

I am looking for a hand held or really lightweight, small vaccuum. I want something with a lot of power for carpeted stairs. Don't really want to spend more than $75.

This might sound funny, but I use a small shop vac. I have pets and trying to get the hair off the steps with a regular vacuum was futile
