Carpet beetles are common pests affecting homes across London. Carpet beetles larvae, also known as "woolly bears" will feed on natural fibres like wool, silk, leather, fur and feathers, causing significant damage to clothing, carpets and other household items.
Our pest controllers are experts at treating these beetles to eliminate any infestations.
Holes or thin spots in carpets, rugs, clothing and upholstery.
Whilst the damage is caused by the larvae, you may see small oval - shaped beetles with colourful patterns on their backs.
You may find larvae on clothes or soft furnishings. It is at this stage that damage to property happens.
Thinned areas on wool carpets and rugs or bald patches on furs.
Carpet beetles are oval shaped beetles that are usually brown or black in colour.
The larvae (known as "woolly bears") are small, about 2 to 4mm long, and look like a small mottled brown, grey and cream ladybird. The larvae is covered in brown hairs, and tend to roll up when disturbed.
Once you have spotted the signs of a carpet beetle infestation, our experienced team of technicians will provide you with the best advice on the most suitable course of action.
PEST HUNTERZ offers two types of professional treatments for carpet beetle control. Non chemical heat treatment and insecticides treatments using residual spray.
Heat treatment will kill all carpet beetles from the eggs, larvae, pupae and adults.
PEST HUNTERZ guarantees same day eradication as heat treatment only takes a few hours. A single heat treatment is all it takes to permanently eliminate your carpet beetle infestation. No repeat visit to your property.
Unlike spray treatments, Heat treatment allows you to leave clothes and furniture in place, saving you time and the stress of relocating your belongings.
Heat treatment is the latest non-toxic, chemical free and most effective way to completely eradicate carpet beetles. We at PEST HUNTERZ use indirect space heaters to raise the temperature of an infested area to above 50 degrees celcius. This temperature is lethal to carpet beetles but safe for treated areas, and we maintain it for an extended period.
The heat will kill carpet beetles at all stages of their life cycle.
Pupae often survive treatment, so it is usual to carry out a second visit and spray treatment to ensure adequate insecticides are available when they eventually hatch out.
