Professional Carpet Beetle Treatments By Youngs

These predatory beetles can enter the home through windows and doors, cracks and slits, and flowers. They generally choose to nest inside bird nests to provide an abundant food source for their larvae, but they also lay their eggs inside walls or chimneys where there are enough dead animals and insects to feed off. Although adult carpet beetles can eat pollen and nectar in gardens and away from home, the rich natural fibre in carpets attracts many larvae and adults. As a result, it can cause significant damage to the rug.

Both Fur Beetle and Varied Carpet Beetle larvae are known as ‘woolly bears’, and they are most widespread during spring when they are attracted by light and are easily seen near windows. The hairy form of the larvae changes as the insect pupates and sheds its hair. This process raises another concern because if these hairs get stuck in human skin, they can create a bite-like effect.

The Varied Carpet Beetle, in particular, has a long lifetime, and by the time they have transformed into adults. They have become regularly noticeable to the human eye. They will have been feasting on items in the home for as much as three years.

Because pest control services are sometimes a necessity because there is such a risk of having an unseen and widespread infestation, our goal is to provide you with those services and ensure that the proper treatment is applied for the right circumstance. It may be as simple as removing bird nest materials around your home or as complicated as a repeated application of insecticides on carpets and within the home. Whatever approach is needed, we aim to cure your beetle problems completely.
