Understanding the Carpet Beetle Menace in Your Home
Carpet beetles are common household pests that often sneak into homes unnoticed. While the adult beetles are relatively harmless, feeding mainly on pollen and nectar outside, it's their larvae that pose the real threat. These small, brown, hairy grubs are the ones responsible for the damage to natural fibres. They feed on a wide range of organic materials, including wool carpets, silk, fur, leather, feathers, and even dried foods. They can also cause skin irritation to sensitive individuals. Identifying these larvae and their tell-tale damage is the first crucial step in effective control.

Spotting the Signs of a Carpet Beetle Infestation
How do you know if you have carpet beetles and not another pest? Look out for these key indicators. You might notice small, irregular holes in carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture, or clothing. Sometimes, you'll find the larvae themselves – tiny, bristly, brown grubs, often found in darker, undisturbed areas like under furniture, along skirting boards, or in wardrobes. You might also spot discarded larval skins as they moult. Adult carpet beetles are small, oval-shaped insects, typically brown, black, or mottled, often found around windows as they try to get back outside. If you're unsure, our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians can conduct a thorough site survey to accurately identify the pest.
