Carpet beetle larvae silently destroy carpets, clothing, upholstery, and stored natural materials. XtermaPro eliminates infestations before the damage becomes costly.
Adult carpet beetles are small (2–4mm), oval, and either black or patterned with white, yellow, and orange scales. The adults are harmless it's the larvae that cause damage, feeding on wool, silk, leather, feathers, fur, and animal-based materials. Larvae are hairy, carrot-shaped, and about 5mm long. They prefer undisturbed, dark areas under furniture, inside closets, and behind baseboards.
Carpet beetle infestation signs:
Carpet beetles are a serious threat to wool carpets, antique rugs, natural-fibre upholstery, leather items, taxidermy, and natural-bristle brushes. A well-established infestation can cause extensive damage to irreplaceable items. The larvae can also cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Effective carpet beetle control starts with a thorough inspection of all affected and at-risk materials. We apply targeted residual insecticide and dust treatments to harborage areas under furniture, in closets, along baseboards, and in affected rooms. Thorough vacuuming to remove eggs, larvae, and shed skins is an essential part of the process.
