Carpet Beetles Pest Control

Have you ever noticed some very small crawlers parading in carpets? If so, what you see is a carpet beetle. They’re tiny pests that lurk and destroy carpets, fabrics and sometimes feed on dead insects. They also burrow in clothes or items made of fur, feathers and silk and hide in decorative items made in bones and horns. These creepy crawlers are usually present in attics and basements and nestled in rugs, tapestries or floor to wall and wall-to-wall carpeting.

Belonging to the same family of beetles, the dermestids, these insects are commonly found in areas such as warehouses, attics, museums and other places where food is available. On the other hand, though adult carpet beetles do not feed on fabrics, their larvae do. Adult carpet beetles go out to feed on pollen and nectar from flowers, while the young ones are swarming beneath the carpet and rugs and feeding on it.

Carpet beetles are capable of sporting out clothing materials, rugs and carpets for they are fed on that material aside, from dead insect carcasses. Quite often, they are mistaken as a ladybug however, these pests are brownish in colour. These creatures are about ⅛ to 1/4 of an inch size and has a dome-shaped carapace.

If you think there might be a carpet beetle infestation, consulting a pest control service is crucial. Our certified pest technicians will determine the kind of pests which are invading your property and provide you with the ideal remedy plan.

Signs of Infestation

Since fabric and animal products are their principal source of food, carpet beetle larvae can flourish in households even without the help of adults. Whereas, the adult carpet beetles can live off and fly around, laying their eggs elsewhere such as in furniture, clothing, rugs or infested items brought inside the home.

Hence, place into mind to always wash the house and keep things speck-free and well-maintained to prevent flooding of these nasty pests.

Adult carpet beetles are a nuisance but due to their nature, they are attracted to lights and frequently fly out of the home seeking pollen and nectar. However, an infestation is confirmed when sighting of carpet beetles are inside and usually suggests that their eggs and larvae are somewhere in the home.

The life cycle of carpet beetle larvae usually takes 9 months to develop to a full-grown adult. During summer and spring, female adults can put 25 to 100 eggs, they appear white or translucent and are approximately 0.5 to 1mm in size. The eggs can hatch into larvae within 2 weeks.
