Quick answer: Carpet beetle control means treating active larvae harbourage areas — closets, vents, stored fabric — and correcting entry points, not just vacuuming visible larvae.
Adult carpet beetles feed on pollen outdoors and often enter homes through window screens, but it’s the larvae — small, bristly, and slow-moving — that cause the damage, feeding on wool, fur, feathers, and pantry items stored in dark closets and under furniture.
Carpet beetle larvae can quietly damage clothing, rugs, and upholstery for months before anyone notices, since the larvae avoid light and feed in undisturbed areas.
We inspect closets, vents, and stored fabric for larvae and shed skins, treat active harbourage areas, and advise on vacuuming and storage changes that stop reinfestation from outdoor entry points.
