Why Choose Us?
Recognising the Signs of a Carpet Beetle Infestation
Carpet beetles, though small, leave distinct clues when they've moved in. The most common signs of a carpet beetle problem are small, irregular holes or threadbare patches appearing on carpets, rugs, curtains, or woollen clothes. You might also spot their shed skins, which look like tiny, translucent husks, or small, brown, hairy larvae crawling in secluded areas like under furniture, along skirting boards, or in wardrobes. Adult carpet beetles, often oval-shaped and dark with mottled patterns, tend to fly towards light and are sometimes found on windowsills. If you’ve noticed any of these indicators in your Wiveliscombe home, it’s highly likely you have an active infestation that needs professional attention.

Why DIY Carpet Beetle Treatments Often Fall Short
Many people try to tackle a carpet beetle problem themselves using off-the-shelf products. While these might offer a temporary solution for a small, localised issue, they very rarely get to the root of a widespread infestation. Carpet beetle larvae can hide in the tiniest cracks and crevices, deep within carpet fibres, and even behind wall voids. DIY sprays simply aren't powerful or pervasive enough to reach all harbourage points or eradicate all life stages, including eggs and pupae. Without professional-grade insecticides and the expertise to apply them precisely, you’ll find the problem quickly returns, often worse than before. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians are trained to identify and treat every hidden spot, ensuring a truly effective and lasting solution.
