Carpet Beetle Extermination

Effective carpet beetle extermination means choosing an experienced professional, like those at Xpress Pest Control. We apply a water-based insecticide, which is ‘fogged’ throughout the infected area. In most cases, the carpet and underlay will need to be removed and replaced, so that any insecticides can be applied to the floor. Residual insecticides will target the entire lifecycle of the infestation. So before searching ‘carpet beetle treatment near me’, call the experts at Xpress.

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 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.
What is a carpet beetle larva or ‘woolly bear’?
A woolly bear is the larval stage of a carpet beetle. The larvae are small, brown and covered with distinctive bristle-like hairs.

It is the larvae, rather than adult carpet beetles, that cause damage inside properties. Carpet Beetles lay their eggs in or near the larvae’s preferred food source of natural fibres and can remain hidden in undisturbed areas. They also lay eggs in lint-build ups, found under furniture or other hard-to-reach areas.

Finding woolly bears or their shed skins can therefore be an important sign of an infestation.
