Why Choose Us?
Recognising the Signs of a Carpet Beetle Infestation in Your Home
Often, the first sign of carpet beetles isn't the adult beetle itself, but the damage caused by their larvae. These larvae are small, typically brown or reddish-brown, and quite hairy or bristly in appearance. They love to feed on natural materials like wool, silk, fur, feathers, and leather. Look for irregular holes in carpets, rugs, and clothing, especially items stored away for long periods. You might also find shed skin casings of the larvae, or tiny droppings. Adult carpet beetles are small, oval, and usually dark brown or mottled with patches of white, black, and yellow or red. While adults are often found near windows as they are attracted to light, the real problem is the larvae hiding away in darker, undisturbed areas like under carpets, inside wardrobes, or beneath furniture.

Who We Are
Why Professional Carpet Beetle Control is Your Best Solution
Many people try to tackle carpet beetles with store-bought products, but these pests are notoriously difficult to get rid of completely without professional help. Their ability to hide in cracks, crevices, and deep within fibres means that a DIY approach often only treats the surface, leaving eggs and larvae to hatch and continue the infestation. Our professional-grade insecticides are specifically formulated to target all life stages of the carpet beetle, from egg to adult, providing a far more effective and lasting treatment. Furthermore, our experienced technicians understand the lifecycle of these pests and know exactly where to look for hidden harbourage areas, ensuring a comprehensive eradication plan.

01822 668338Preventing Future Carpet Beetle Problems in Your Home
After an infestation has been treated, preventing a recurrence is key. Carpet beetles often enter homes from the outside, attracted by light. Regular and thorough cleaning is your first line of defence – vacuuming carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture frequently, especially under beds and in less-used areas. Pay close attention to corners and skirting boards. For valuable natural fibre items like woollen clothes or blankets, store them in sealed bags or airtight containers. Keeping your home well-ventilated can also help, as beetles prefer humid environments. While these measures go a long way, our team can also advise on further proofing strategies to help keep your home protected from future carpet beetle invasions.
