Why Choose Us?
Spotting the Signs of a Carpet Beetle Infestation
Identifying a carpet beetle problem early is crucial to minimise damage. Look out for the following tell-tale signs:
- Fabric Damage: Small, irregular holes in carpets, rugs, curtains, woollen clothing, upholstered furniture, and even stored furs or taxidermy. This damage is caused by the larvae, not the adult beetles.
- Larvae: You might see the carpet beetle larvae themselves. These are small (up to 5mm long), brown, hairy or bristly, and often move slowly. They tend to hide in dark, undisturbed areas like under furniture, along skirting boards, or in wardrobes.
- Shed Skins: As the larvae grow, they shed their skins. You may find these light brown, papery casings in infested areas.
- Adult Beetles: Adult carpet beetles are small (2-4mm), oval-shaped, and usually dark brown or mottled with various patterns. You might find them near windowsills as they are attracted to light, or on flowers in your garden as they feed on pollen.

Who We Are
Why Professional Carpet Beetle Control is Your Best Solution
Carpet beetles are notoriously difficult to get rid of using DIY products. Their larvae can hide in tiny cracks and crevices, making a thorough eradication challenging for the untrained eye. Over-the-counter sprays often lack the professional-grade ingredients and precise application methods needed to penetrate all harbourage points and eliminate every life stage, from egg to adult. As BPCA affiliated members, Moorlander Pest Control employs an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach. This means we don't just spray; we conduct a meticulous survey, identify the full extent of the infestation, and apply targeted, professional-strength insecticides in a safe and effective manner. Our methods are designed to tackle the entire problem, giving you lasting peace of mind.
