About Carpet Beetles

Carpet beetles are small, destructive pests that can cause significant damage to household items. They are known for their appetite for organic materials such as wool, fur, leather, and silk, making carpets, clothing, and upholstery their prime targets.

Adult carpet beetles are small, oval-shaped insects often with unique, colorful patterns on their hard shells. The larvae, however, are the ones responsible for the damage. They are tiny, hairy, and brown, often referred to as ‘woolly bears’.

While not harmful to humans or pets health-wise, carpet beetles can cause substantial economic loss due to the damage they inflict on household items. Additionally, their hairs can sometimes cause allergic reactions or dermatitis in sensitive individuals.

Effective control of carpet beetles requires a combination of thorough cleaning to remove larvae and eggs, regular vacuuming to prevent re-infestation, and professional pest control treatments if the infestation is severe.

The Carpet Beetles in Your Neighborhood

Carpet beetles are becoming an increasingly common household pest in Boise, Idaho. These small, dome-shaped insects typically measure between 1/8th to 1/4th of an inch and are known for their unique pattern of white, brown, and dark yellow scales. They are particularly notorious for their larvae, which are tiny, furry caterpillars covered in little spines.

These pests are not harmful to humans but can cause significant damage to items such as wool, carpets, and blankets where female carpet beetles lay their eggs. They are also known for eating keratin, a fibrous protein found in various household items.

At Hemi Pest Control we offer specialized treatments to deal with carpet beetle infestations. It’s recommended to seek professional help if you notice signs of infestation such as damaged fabrics or sighting of beetles or larvae.

A Carpet Beetles Effect On Your Home

Carpet beetles, while not directly harmful to humans, can cause significant damage to your home. These small, dome-shaped insects are notorious for their appetite for organic materials such as wool, fur, and other fabrics. Their larvae, in particular, are responsible for most of the destruction, feeding on carpets, clothing, and upholstery, thereby causing substantial economic loss.

Moreover, carpet beetles are known to feed on stored food and preserved specimens such as taxidermies, which can be particularly problematic for collectors or those storing valuable items. While they do not cause structural damage to properties, the damage they inflict on household items can be extensive.

Prevention and control of carpet beetles involve regular cleaning and vacuuming to remove larvae and eggs, along with professional pest control treatments for severe infestations
