What are carpet beetles?

Carpet beetles, often underestimated, can silently infiltrate your London home and wreak havoc on your valuable belongings. These tiny pests, though inconspicuous, can cause significant damage to fabrics, carpets, and other household items.

Identifying a Carpet Beetle Infestation

While these pests may seem harmless, their presence can quickly escalate into a full-blown infestation. Keep an eye out for these telltale signs:

  • Visible Damage: Holes in fabrics, carpets, and upholstery are a clear indication of carpet beetle activity.
  • Adult Beetles: Small, oval-shaped beetles, often dark brown or black, may be seen crawling on walls or window sills.
  • Larvae: The real culprits behind the damage, these tiny, hairy larvae are often hidden within fabrics and crevices, making them difficult to spot.
