Carpet beetles are small, winged beetles that range in colour from light to dark brown with mottled patches. During the larval stage, they are long and have furry legs, while the adult carpet beetle is more rounded.
These small insects are named carpet beetles because they often like to feed on carpets. However, that’s not all they eat. Like carpet moths, carpet beetles feed on any natural fibres, meaning they can damage clothes, curtains, rugs and other soft furnishings.
Once they’ve entered your home, carpet beetles can be notoriously difficult to get rid of. Thankfully, Vermicure Pest Control has experience removing carpet beetle infestations from properties across Wakefield, Leeds, Harrogate, Doncaster, Wetherby and the surrounding areas.

Signs Of A Carpet Beetle Infestation
As small insects, carpet beetles can be difficult to see, especially if the affected surfaces are dark. Therefore, while spotting an actual beetle is the best way to identify an infestation, you should look out for other signs that carpet beetles might be present in your home, including:
- Holes In Fabrics: Next to actual sightings, the most common sign of carpet beetles is holes in fabrics such as clothes, curtains, rugs and upholstered furniture.
- Faecal Pellets: Like most pests, carpet beetles leave droppings behind, which look like small, dry brown or black pellets.
- Shed Skins: Carpet beetle larvae shed their skins as they become adults, leaving behind translucent shells with small bristles on them.
- Eggs: In some cases, when you inspect your fabrics, you might notice small, yellowish carpet beetle eggs.
If you notice any signs of carpet beetles, you need to act fast. Get in touch today, and we can provide fast and effective carpet beetle treatment.
