How do I know if I have a carpet beetle infestation?

Common signs of a carpet beetle infestation include holes in carpets, clothing, and upholstered furniture. Carpet beetle larvae also shed their skins as they grow, leaving behind small, fuzzy shells. You may spot the larvae themselves, which look like tiny, worm-like crawling insects. They often roll up when disturbed. Adult beetles themselves are small and round, about 1-4 mm long, often found near windows, on carpets, or fabrics.

What causes carpet beetle infestations?

Carpet beetles are attracted to natural fibres like wool, silk, and leather, as well as dried plant matter and animal products. These natural fibres are the primary food source for the larvae, so the female will lay eggs nearby. They often enter homes through open windows or doors, but can also be brought in on plants, flowers, or infested furniture.

Can I remove carpet beetles on my own?

While DIY carpet beetles treatment methods like vacuuming and washing infested fabrics can help reduce the number of carpet beetles, professional pest control is necessary for complete eradication. Carpet beetle larvae hide in hard-to-reach areas, and once you see the signs of damage, an infestation is usually well underway.

How long does it take for a full carpet beetle extermination?

The duration of treatment depends on the size of the infestation. Typically, it takes 1-2 weeks to fully eliminate carpet beetles, including eggs and larvae, but can take up to 4 weeks in some cases. Booking more than one treatment and follow-up visit may be required for larger infestations.

How do Xpress exterminators eradicate carpet beetles?

Our professional exterminators use a water-based insecticide, which is ‘fogged’ throughout the infected area. Infested fabrics and carpets will ideally be removed and replaced.

How can I prevent carpet beetles from returning?

To prevent carpet beetles from re-infesting your home, regularly clean and vacuum carpets, upholstery, and cupboards. Store clothing and fabrics in airtight containers and seal cracks and gaps around windows and doors to block entry points.

As much as possible, inspect second-hand items like furniture, clothing, and rugs before bringing them into your home. An Xpress professional exterminator can also offer ongoing prevention advice and may suggest not hoovering for some time following treatment to allow any residual insecticides to target the beetles’ lifecycle.

Which carpet beetles cause the biggest issues?

It’s not adult carpet beetles that cause the biggest problems - adults feed on flowers, pollen and nectar. But when you find tell-tale signs such as thinning areas in your carpets or odd-shaped holes in clothes it’s the beetles’ larvae that have caused the damage. Once you see the damage it usually means an infestation is well underway.

Carpet Beetles lay their eggs in or near the larvae’s preferred food source of natural fibres. They also lay eggs in lint-build ups, found under furniture or other hard-to-reach areas.

Woolly bears, as the larvae are sometimes known, are now the biggest pest in the textile industry, overtaking clothes moths. To spot the difference, carpet beetles tend to leave larger single areas of damage, whereas clothes moths tend to leave scattered holes.
