Larder beetles, also known as Dermestid beetles, are a type of beetle that are commonly found in homes and other structures. While larder beetles are generally harmless, they can sometimes become a nuisance if they infest stored food, fabrics, or other materials.

Larder beetle larvae can cause damage to stored food and fabrics, and may also produce a foul odor. Larder beetles can be difficult to control once they have established a presence.
