Do I have carpet beetle infestation?

Carpet beetles are one of the pests seen in houses and workplaces. They are of small size, having the size of a ladybug. Regarding colour, they are found in different multiple colours, including white, black, and brown. Although they are little and cute insects, they cause severe damage to fabrics. They eat things from under the surface; hence, damage caused by these pests may remain unnoticed for a long time. That’s why, it is important to control the build up of these small pests as soon as possible to prevent the severe damage they may cause (if left untreated). To know whether your home is attacked by carpet beetle infestation, you need to do the following things:.

Look for the larvae of carpet beetles. 

To identify pest infestation, look for the larvae or any indications of carpet beetle infestation around your space. Larvae are usually larger than adult beetles (length = 2.5 cm) and are dark brown in color. Shed skin and golden hair present on their abdomen are one of the features of carpet beetle. After identifying these signs of infestations, take quick action to get rid of these pesky creatures. 

Beetles arrive in groups.

Carpet beetles come in groups, and that’s why if you notice single beetles, then there must be an infestation present. If you find a single beetle, you need to take immediate action to prevent severe damage.

Beetles are attracted to light.

Beetles are attracted to light; hence, once you know what you are looking for, you need to know when to look for it. So, check for their presence when the sun is up. It’s the right time to help you spot the presence of carpet beetle infestation.

Look for damage.

If you spot any holes in natural fibre, it may be an indication of the presence of carpet beetle infestation. Hence, it is also one of the indications of carpet beetle infestation.

Look for droppings.
