Carpet Beetles

CARPET BEETLE PEST CONTROL

Carpet beetles are small, oval-shaped insects that tend to congregate in groups and often make their way inside homes. While they’re not harmful to humans (although they can cause an allergic reaction in some individuals), these insects can cause significant damage to items within your home. Carpet beetle larvae, sometimes referred to colloquially as “wooly bears,” enjoy feeding on natural materials like wool, silk, fur, and fabrics, and can infest and cause damage to carpets, rugs, blankets, and other items.

If you’ve noticed your commercial or residential property is having issues with carpet beetles, it’s important that you immediately start to prevent and eliminate them. Nature’s Balance Pest Control can help you eliminate these pests from your property using eco-friendly methods that are safe and effective.

How do I prevent carpet beetles?

Follow these tips to prevent carpet beetles from coming onto your property. However, if you have noticed an infestation or even a few carpet beetles, it might be time to call Nature’s Balance Pest Control to take care of your carpet beetle issue.

Keep Your Property Clean

Be sure to regularly clean and vacuum your property. This includes cleaning surfaces, taking out trash, cleaning up food, and washing fabrics and clothing. A clean area is inhospitable for carpet beetles.

Seal Cracks and Crevices

Seal up any areas that carpet beetles might be able to enter from, especially in dark hidden areas where they are known to hide, like attics and cabinets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Carpet Beetle Pest Control

Are carpet beetles harmful to humans?

Fortunately, carpet beetles do not typically cause a serious risk to humans. However, while they don’t bite or sting like many other insects, their presence can still lead to allergic reactions in some individuals when they shed skin and bristles indoors.

What kind of damage can carpet beetles cause?

Carpet beetles are considered pests due to their habit of invading homes and feeding on various materials inside, such as carpets, clothing, upholstery, and pet hair. Carpet beetle larvae can cause serious damage to household fabrics and other items, especially those made of fabric and natural fibers like wool, silk, and fur, and leave behind holes.

What are the signs that I have carpet beetles in my home?

The most obvious sign of a carpet beetle infestation is spotting the carpet beetles themselves. These insects are small and oval-shaped and may be black, brown, or mottled. They’re attracted to light and are often found near windows indoors. You may also see their shed skins or dropping, or damage to fabric items in your home.

Why should I choose eco-friendly pest control methods?

Eco-friendly pest control methods are a great choice for anyone looking to effectively mitigate their pest control issues while also keeping their home and property safe and non-toxic for children, adults, and pets living in the vicinity. The lack of harsh chemicals also helps the environment.
