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 ruin carpets, fabrics and sometimes feed on dead insects. They also burrow in clothes or items made of fur, feathers and silk and hide in decorative items made in bones and horns. These creepy crawlers are usually within attics and basements and nestled in rugs, tapestries or floor to wall and wall-to-wall carpeting.

Belonging to the same family of beetles, the dermestids, these insects are commonly found in areas such as warehouses, attics, museums and other places where food is accessible. On the other hand, though adult carpet beetles do not 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 under the carpet and carpets 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. They are often confused as lady bugs but somehow they are smaller in size, roughly ⅛ to 1/4 of an inch. They have white, black and brown spots decorated in their 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 things, carpet beetle larvae can flourish in homes even with no adults. Whereas, adults fly and lay their eggs on furnishings, clothing, or rugs or even on infested items brought inside the house.

Hence, put into mind to always clean the house and keep items speck-free and well-maintained to avoid flooding of these nasty pests.

Adult carpet beetles are a nuisance too, however, because of their nature, they’re drawn to lights and frequently fly out of the house seeking pollen and nectar. An infestation is positive when the sighting of carpet beetles are evident in indoors and generally indicates their eggs and larvae are also present within the area.

Carpet beetles have a pretty much longer life span. Its larvae usually takes 9 months to develop into full-grown adult. Throughout the spring and summer seasons, the female adult can lay between 25 to 100 eggs. The eggs can hatch into larvae within fourteen days.

Treatment and Control Management

Disregarding fabric pests such as carpet beetles can do extensive harm to households. If left untreated, an infestation can propagate within a brief timeframe. Controlling the infestation must be effective, relying upon the level of infestation and a blend of sanitation exclusion.

If you’re suspecting a carpet beetle infestation, consulting a pest control service is a must. Doing a DIY will not guarantee a complete eradication of the infestation but only for a short term. In fact, fabric pest can be quite difficult to handle, hence, only licensed pest technicians understand how to manage such situations.

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

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