Product Information

Carpet beetles will happily munch on your furnishings including your sofa, couch, rugs, carpet, drapes, dining tables, and anything else that’s fabric or wood. Just like eating, carpet beetles will breed continuously as long as there’s food and suitable shelter present. Use this as a weapon by opening up your windows or curtains to let the light shine. This will deter them and also the UV light will kill bacteria throughout your home.

So you can use mothballs or moth traps to kill them, though it’s a passive approach and will take time.That’s the key. Keep your car clean and the beetles will go away. There’s no secret- just keep it clean! There are many carpet beetle species, but the majority will easily produce up to 4 generations per annum. They’ll find food, then shelter, then start eating and reproducing. Eggs are laid as soon as they enter your home for the first time. When you know that carpet beetles have invaded your home, it’s more likely that other areas and things in your home are infested with them too. They are often found around the edges of carpets and rugs, under furniture, baseboards, and closets, in the wall and floor junctions, inside cabinets, floor vents, and ducts. They like to munch on clothing, blankets, and human foods like flour, pasta, and crumbs. Carpet beetles are not harmful to us humans but they can cause rashes and bumpy skin from their airborne fibres. Do carpet beetles bite – or their larvae?

Apple cider vinegar works wonders for a variety of purposes, and that includes keeping carpet beetles away. Mix the vinegar with water in a spray bottle and clean the areas where you have seen evidence of the beetles and their larvae.

Will carpet beetles die in the washing machine?

You’ll see them flying, their larvae wriggling, and shed pupae. You’ll also notice damage to your clothes, fabrics, and other natural fibers. Carpet beetles come from a variety of sources. They can find their way into your home in all sorts of ways, through shopping, bunches of flowers, animal furs and skins (including stuffed specimens) and already contaminated fabrics and furnishings.
