Carpet Beetles Pest Control

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

Belonging to the same family of beetles, the dermestids, these insects are generally 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 necessarily 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 wearing 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 but these pests are brownish in colour. These creatures are approximately ⅛ to 1/4 of an inch dimensions and contains a dome-shaped carapace.

These creepy crawlers are quite difficult to handle, hence, if there is a suspected infestation, calling the help of an expert is much needed.

Signs of Infestation

Because they feed on fabric and animal matters, carpet beetle larvae can thrive in houses even with no adults. Whereas, adults fly and lay their eggs on furnishings, clothing, or rugs or even on infested items brought inside the home.

Comparing the carpet beetle larvae and adult, the creatures are more of a nuisance than the adult. Since adult carpet beetles are primarily attracted to lights and fly to go outdoors to seek out pollen and nectar.

Adult carpet beetles are a nuisance but because of 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 house.

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

Treatment and Control Management

Ignoring fabric pests like carpeting beetles can deem extensive damage to families. When left untreated, infestation can spread over a brief time period. Controlling the infestation can only be effective based on the degree of infestation and a combination of sanitation exclusion.

If you think you have an infestation in your area, seek the help of pest management experts immediately. Doing a DIY carpet beetle control does not guarantee complete treatment because carpet beetles are tough to take care of. Our licensed pest experts will sort out these fabric pests with the perfect treatment plan.

While treatment of infestations is abandoned with specialists, there are simple things which you can do to prevent carpet beetles in invading your home:

• Use silicone caulk to fill in holes and breaks. Seal as many gateways with the goal that no carpet beetle can fly and lay around the house.
• Practice good sanitation to prevent pests from brooding in your premises.
• Calendar an appointment with nuisance control experts to evaluate any conditions that are favourable for fabric pest brooding.
