Carpet Beetles Control
Effective treatments to eliminate carpet beetles and protect your fabrics and carpets.
Understanding the Problem
Carpet Beetles are a common UK pest. It's not the adult beetle that causes damage, but their larvae, often called 'woolly bears', which feed on natural fibres.
Carpet beetle larvae can cause significant damage to carpets, clothing, upholstery, and other textiles made of wool, silk, fur, or leather, leaving behind bald patches and holes.
Common Signs of Infestation
Damage from carpet beetles is often mistaken for moth damage. Here's what to look for:
Irregular holes or bare patches in carpets, rugs, or woollen clothing.
Sightings of small, hairy, striped larvae ('woolly bears') in dark areas.
Tiny, brittle, shed larval skins under furniture or along skirting boards.
Small, ladybird-like adult beetles (2-4mm) crawling on walls or near windows.
Tiny, black fecal pellets (frass) found in areas of damage.
Damage concentrated in dark, undisturbed areas like closets or under rugs.
Why Professional Extermination is Important
Carpet beetle larvae can be widespread and hidden, making professional treatment the only sure solution.
