Spotting the Signs of a Carpet Beetle Infestation in Your Home
Think you might have carpet beetles? Knowing what to look for is the first step. The damage they cause is usually the most obvious sign – irregular holes in wool carpets, clothes, curtains, or upholstery. You might also spot the tiny, bristly, brown-coloured larvae themselves, which are typically found crawling on affected materials or around skirting boards and under furniture. These larvae are the culprits; adult beetles are generally found outside, often flying towards light. Look out for shed skins (exuviae) as the larvae grow, or even tiny beetle droppings, which resemble fine dust. Early detection is key to preventing widespread damage, especially in warmer rooms.

Who We Are
Why Professional Carpet Beetle Treatment is Essential
Many people try to tackle carpet beetle problems with off-the-shelf products, but these often fail to address the root of the infestation. Carpet beetles and their larvae hide in tiny cracks, crevices, and deep within fabric fibres, making them incredibly difficult to fully eradicate without specialist knowledge and equipment. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians use professional-grade insecticides and techniques that are far more effective and targeted than DIY solutions. We don't just treat the visible pests; we get to the core of the problem, ensuring a comprehensive and lasting control solution for your home or business.
