Carpet Beetles
Overview
Carpet beetle larvae — not the adults — cause damage to wool rugs, upholstered furniture, leather, and stored natural fiber items.
Warning Signs
- Irregular damage to wool rugs or upholstery
- Shed larval skins in undisturbed areas
- Small, round adult beetles on windowsills
- Damage to stored animal products in pantry
Health & Property Risks
Carpet beetles can cause significant damage to high-value rugs, clothing, and taxidermy over time. Infestations are often overlooked until damage is extensive.
How We Treat It
Thorough vacuuming, removal of infested items, and targeted residual applications to harborage areas provide effective control.
