I hadn't given it much thought but what Nick said about freezing makes sense! Being a cigar collector and having something near 1K cigars in storage I have learned some things.
When or if my cigar storage temperatures get above 70 F the chance of tobacco beetle infestation is always there. The way to get rid of them, the only way that I know of, is to freeze them. I would think that using the same proceedure for woolen items would work. As he said, wrap the item in plastic and place it in a freezer for 24-48 hours, the colder the better. I usually use my chest type freezer that maintains -10 F. That takes care of the little buggers! You guys that live up in the frozen wasteland can just toss it outside I guess.
One more thing...If you see one, there are many more you don't see. Let caution be your guide.
