Primordial black holes (PBH) constituting a fraction of dark matter can be
captured by compact stars and lead to a rapid destruction of the latter. Thus,
a mere observation of neutron stars and/or white dwarfs implies constraints on
the PBH abundance. We will consider mechanisms of capture of PBH by compact
stars both at the stage of formation and during the lifetime, and derive
corresponding constraints.
