Carpet Beetle Control
Carpet beetles are often misidentified as bed bugs or mistaken for harmless ladybugs. The damage comes from the larvae, which feed on wool, silk, fur, feathers, and dried foods. Treatment starts with finding the source — usually a forgotten wool item, a bird or rodent nest in an attic, or pantry goods — and treating from there.
Signs you might have a problem
- Small, fuzzy larvae or shed skins in closets or under furniture
- Damage to wool sweaters, rugs, or felt
- Adult beetles near windows in spring
- Damage to dried pet food, cereal, or grains
Our approach
- 1Inspection to locate the source (closet, attic, pantry, vent)
- 2Targeted treatment of harborage areas
- 3Storage recommendations for natural-fiber items
- 4Follow-up to verify the source is fully eliminated
Common questions
How do I tell carpet beetles from bed bugs?
Bed bugs leave bites and live near sleeping areas. Carpet beetle larvae are fuzzy, don't bite, and feed on materials — not people. We can confirm during an inspection.
