Carpet Beetle Control: At a glance
Struggling with carpet beetles in your Connecticut home or business? You’re not alone. These tiny pests can cause serious damage as their larvae feed on wool, silk, fur, feathers, and stored pantry items, often going unnoticed until holes appear in clothing, rugs, or upholstery.
DIY sprays rarely reach the hidden larvae or stop the cycle. DIY sprays and vacuums rarely solve the problem or prevent re-invasion.
When it comes to eliminating an active infestation, we’ve got it covered in Farmington Valley and it’s surrounding towns.
Facts you may not know: Carpet beetles
- Unlike clothes moths, carpet beetles feed on both animal and plant fibers, including wool, silk, fur, and stored foods

- Adults are small, oval, and patterned — often mistaken for ladybugs

The larvae have tiny hairs that can cause skin irritation or rashes in some sensitive individuals. They are mainly a household pest that damages fabrics and stored items. Carpet beetles do not bite and are not dangerous to people or pets. They do not spread diseases.
Carpet beetle larvae are small, carrot-shaped, and covered in bristly hairs. They are usually brown to golden and about 1/8 to 1/4 inch long. These “woolly bears” are the stage that causes most damage by feeding on fabrics. Adults are small, rounded beetles with mottled patterns
They enter homes in large numbers during fall to overwinter in warm, protected areas. They are attracted to light-colored or sun-exposed sides of buildings. They squeeze through tiny cracks around windows, doors, siding, vents, and utility lines. Once inside, they congregate in attics, wall voids, and around windows and lay eggs inside of the framework of the structure.
Generally professional intervention is required for these fabric pests. Once observed indoors, steps should immediately be taken to slow down reproduction. Thoroughly vacuum carpets, furniture, baseboards, and hidden areas, then dispose of the bag outside. Wash or dry-clean infested fabrics in hot water or high heat to kill eggs and larvae. Store wool, silk, and furs in sealed containers and keep storage areas clean.
