Carpet beetle adults are small and oval-shaped with various colors, while their larvae are small and worm-like, with poky hairs all over their bodies. These larvae (particularly their arrow-shaped hairs) are known to cause skin irritation and some allergic symptoms in humans, but these pests are known for the destruction of their natural fibrous material.

What are natural fiber ingredients?

Natural fibers include a wide variety of ingredients. Feathers, fur, leather, cotton, silk, and wool are all considered natural fibers, and anything made from these materials should be carefully inspected if you are having recurring problems with carpet beetles indoors.

While adult carpet beetles are mainly found outside, where they consume flower pollen, they will occasionally be seen inside, especially around windows. If you’re regularly finding adult carpet beetles (or their hairy, worm larvae) inside your home, chances are something is pulling them inside and keeping them near you.

Warning

Sanitation and cleanliness are always the best methods of control when it comes to carpet beetles. Contact a local carpet beetle pest control company if you think chemical treatment is needed to tackle your carpet beetle problem. Chemical treatments should not be used for clothing, bedding, or linens. Chemical treatments for carpet beetles should be used in limited amounts in targeted areas and according to all label instructions.

What do carpet beetles look like?

It’s important to know that, when it comes to identification, there are several types of carpet beetles that can bother you. Fortunately, regardless of the type of beetle, control methods are generally the same, as it is the larvae that cause the damage inside, not the adult beetles.

Carpet-beetle adults are usually found outdoors, but they fly well and are attracted to light, which means they are attracted to the light in and around your home. If they find suitable areas to lay their eggs, they will lay them there, which can add to the problem.
