How to Treat Carpet Beetles

If left unchecked, Carpet Beetles will infest your carpets, clothing, and even furniture. Acting quickly and using an Xpress exterminator, ensures that the infestation is controlled before it gets worse. Your Xpress exterminator will check common problem areas where larvae and adult beetles are likely to hide. They’ll develop a treatment plan that targets both adult beetles and their larvae. Typically, a water-based insecticide is ‘fogged’ throughout the infected area. Ideally, the carpet should be removed and disposed of, so the floor can be fully treated. Once settled a new carpet can then be laid. Residual insecticides will continue to target the entire lifecycle of any carpet beetles.

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. They often enter homes through open windows or doors, and they can also be brought in on plants, flowers, or infested furniture. The female adults lay eggs in areas near food sources, including areas where there is a build-up of lint, such as behind furniture.

Can I remove carpet beetles on my own?

While DIY methods like vacuuming and washing infested fabrics can help reduce the number of carpet beetles, professional pest control is often necessary for complete eradication. The larvae are the cause of the damage, so eradicating adult carpet beetles doesn’t deal with the cause of the problem. Carpet beetle larvae are usually found in hard-to-reach areas, so to remove the root cause, it’s important to target the entire lifecycle in all the places they are living.

How do I know I have Carpet Beetles?

You might see adults, which are 1.5 to 4 mm in length with an oval or round body. The adult colour varies by species but is often a mix of black, brown, white, and sometimes yellow or orange. They may have a speckled or mottled appearance but are smooth and shiny. Adults also have wings and can fly, which helps them move around easily, especially near windows.

The carpet beetle larvae are also known as "woolly bears" and are 4 to 5 mm in length. Their shape is elongated or carrot-shaped with a tapered end. In terms of colour, larvae are reddish-brown or dark brown with a bristly or fuzzy appearance due to the long, dense hairs covering their bodies. They are typically found in dark, hidden areas like behind baseboards, in carpets, and in closets.

Carpet beetles tend to create large single areas of damage, whereas clothes moths will create scattered pockets of smaller damage.

How Do I Prevent Carpet Beetles from Returning?

After treatment, your Xpress exterminator may advise waiting a period of time before hoovering to allow residual insecticides to fully work. To keep carpet beetles from re-entering your home after treatment vacuum regularly, especially in areas where you store clothing and fabrics.

Sealing cracks and gaps around windows and doors can prevent beetles from entering your home and storing fabrics in airtight containers when not in use can also help reduce access to their food source.

If you’re bringing second-hand items into your home, inspect them first as these can carry carpet beetles.

How does Xpress Carry Out Carpet Beetle Treatment in Llandovery?

Our professional exterminators use a combination of treatments, including insecticide sprays to kill larvae and adult beetles, specialist dusting in cracks, crevices, and areas where beetles may hide and steam cleaning for infested fabrics and carpets to eliminate larvae and eggs.

Typically, it takes 1-2 weeks to see carpet beetles, eggs and larvae fully eliminated. However, it can take up to 4 weeks. Follow-up visits may be necessary for larger infestations and your exterminator may recommend not vacuuming for a period after treatment.
