Carpet beetle control and extermination services

Finding small holes in clothing or bare patches on rugs often indicates a carpet beetle infestation.   While adult beetles are harmless, their larvae feed on fabrics and can be a health hazard, resulting in expensive clean-up and replacement costs, staff complaints, and regulatory violations.

Our team is here to help with carpet beetle control, giving you expert advice and guidance to protect your home or business. We focus on the source of the problem so you can feel confident that the issue is handled with care.

Carpet beetle control for your home or business

Carpet beetle infestations typically begin when adults fly through open doors or windows, or when they arrive on secondhand furniture, fabrics, or stored items. Their larvae can cause considerable damage, while shed bristles and skin can induce allergic responses that may require medical attention.

We offer carpet beetle pest control for homes and workplaces. During your inspection, our technician looks for signs of adult carpet beetles, their eggs, and key feeding sites. We may also check for other pest pressures, such as rodent or wasp activity, as they can create new food sources or conditions that allow beetles to spread. If you’re dealing with a carpet beetle infestation at home, our residential pest control services can help you address the problem and reduce future risk. For offices, multifamily housing, hotels, and other facilities, our commercial pest control programs support long-term protection and regular monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

They are small, round, or oval beetles. Some are black, while others have a mix of colors. The larvae are fuzzy and brown, and they cause most of the damage.

They enter through open doors or windows and look for food sources like natural fibers, pet hair, or stored clothing where they can lay eggs.

Vacuuming helps, but it usually takes professional care to address the whole infestation. A technician can inspect, treat, and guide you on the next steps to take.

They don’t bite, but their larvae can damage fabric and may cause irritation to the skin for some people. If you react to their hair, contact a healthcare professional.

Clean the area well and remove items that may be infested. For ongoing or larger problems, professional carpet beetle removal is the most effective option.
