Understanding Carpet Beetles: What Are They & The Damage They Cause?
Carpet beetles, like the varied carpet beetle or the common carpet beetle, are small, often brown or speckled insects. While the adult beetles themselves typically feed on pollen and nectar outside, it's their larvae that cause the real problems indoors. These hungry larvae are the culprits, voraciously feeding on organic materials such as wool carpets, clothing, upholstered furniture, curtains, and even taxidermy. They can create irregular holes, thinning patches, and leave behind shed skins and faecal pellets – clear signs of an active infestation that needs urgent attention to prevent further damage.

Spotting the Signs of a Carpet Beetle Infestation in Your Home
Knowing what to look for can help you identify a carpet beetle problem early. Keep an eye out for adult beetles, which are usually around 2-4mm long and might be seen crawling around windowsills as they head towards light. However, the most telling signs are often from the larvae themselves. Look for their hairy, bristly bodies, which can be up to 5mm long, found in dark, undisturbed areas like under carpets, behind skirting boards, in wardrobes, or under furniture. Irregular holes or thinning areas on wool carpets, blankets, clothes, or other fabrics are also a strong indicator. You might also find shed larval skins, which look like tiny, translucent husks.
