Carpet Beetles Control - FAQ's
Varied Carpet Beetles - What Are They?
Bristol's Carpet Beetles (Anthrenus verbasci) are very small beetles resembling dull coloured lady birds, no larger than 4mm long, with an almost spherical shape.
Carpet Beetles are among our most common household pests, remaining active in our heated properties throughout the year, but most often seen on window sills in late spring and summer, attracted by the abundance of UV light available. Once on the window sill they very quickly dehydrate and perish.
Mistaken for bed bugs because they frequent the dusty areas around bedroom furniture and beds, they enter buildings, not just for your carpets, but for the dead birds, rodents, bird's nests and wasp nests in the cavities and unoccupied spaces of your home.
Abundant sources of food for developing larvae exist in these unseen areas, and these areas are commonly accessed by all manner of pests through air bricks, open doors, roofs, windows and vents etc, allowing the varied carpet beetle easy access into attics and under floor spaces where the female beetles lay their eggs on the bodies of dead birds and rodents etc.
Varied Carpet beetles live for about a month, during which they mate and the females lay around a hundred eggs. The carpet beetle larvae or woolly bears will then hatch from the eggs (growing to roughly 4 - 5mm in length) and devour the textiles or other natural products on which they were laid, over a period of almost a year before pupating and developing into adults.
Beetle larvae complete their development, emerging as adults after as long as two years, having fed on animal based products such as woolen carpets, skins, hides, and stored food products like nuts and grains.
When affected carpets, etc are removed or temperatures drop, the larvae can enter a form of hibernation, referred to as diapause in which they will remain dormant until conditions or food availability becomes favourable again. This highlights the importance of using residual insecticides for the effective control of these beetles.
What Damage Do Carpet Beetles Create?
Varied carpet beetle larvae will feed on a broad range of food sources, such as furs, carrion, bird nests, wasp nests, carpets, rugs and clothing with damage to property costing thousands. In many cases, the elimination of infestations will only be achieved with professional methods and chemicals.

WaspKill UK - The Very Best Varied Carpet Beetle Control Advice and Solutions:
Varied Carpet Beetle Control Advice: Getting rid of the Varied Carpet Beetle and other insects like Red Ants, Wasps and Textile Pests is not as simple as many pesticide manufacturers will lead you to believe. The chemicals or poisons on offer in supermarkets and shops often have a fraction of the effect that is achieved through professional products and this means you are likely to get through many cans of treatment without actually achieving full control. As the only Bristol Carpet Beetle exterminator offering dedicated carpet beetle treatments, we are able to deliver solutions that are guaranteed to work.
Environmental health services, are all about understanding the pests you are trying to eliminate or prevent so you can make the environment less conducive to them. The Wasp for example creates a wasp nest early in the year so if you wanted to exterminate wasps in Bristol you would probably guess that checking for a new nest in your loft in April and May would allow you to remove the nest safely before it became too large. By understanding pests, you are able to plan control in advance, before infestation occurs and the cost of elimination becomes high.
