Frequently Asked Questions
QHow do I know if I have carpet beetles?
Signs include irregular holes in carpet or natural fibre clothing, tiny brown oval beetles (2-4mm) on windowsills, small hairy larvae in carpet edges and under furniture, and shed larval skins. Carpet beetles are attracted to light and often found on windows.
QHow much does carpet beetle treatment cost?
We don't quote a fixed price online — every job gets a free onsite quote, with no call-out fee to get one. Final cost depends on the property, pest activity, access and treatment scope, confirmed before you book.
QCan carpet beetles damage clothes?
Yes. Carpet beetle larvae feed on natural fibres including wool, silk, cotton, fur, feathers, and leather. They can destroy expensive clothing, carpets, upholstery, and stored items. Synthetic fibres are generally safe unless blended with natural materials.
Carpet Beetle Control in Melbourne
Carpet beetles are a silent and often overlooked pest that causes significant damage to natural fibre items in Melbourne homes. Unlike moths, carpet beetle damage often goes unnoticed until valuable carpets, clothing, or furnishings are permanently ruined. The larvae - not the adult beetles - are responsible for the damage, feeding on wool, silk, cotton, fur, feathers, leather, and even dried food products.
Types of Carpet Beetles in Melbourne
- Varied Carpet Beetle: The most common species in Melbourne homes. Small (2-3mm), round beetles with mottled brown, white, and yellow scales. Larvae are hairy and brown, about 4-5mm long
- Black Carpet Beetle: Slightly larger (3-5mm), oval, and uniformly dark brown to black. Larvae are golden-brown and carrot-shaped
- Australian Carpet Beetle: Native species, round with distinctive markings. Found more commonly in homes near bushland
Signs of Carpet Beetle Infestation
- Irregular holes: Unlike moth damage (which is more uniform), carpet beetles leave irregular, patchy damage on fabrics and carpet
- Shed larval skins: Small hairy casings found along carpet edges, in wardrobes, and under furniture
- Adult beetles on windows: Adult carpet beetles are attracted to light and are often found on windowsills in spring and summer
- Damaged items in storage: Items stored undisturbed for long periods (woollen blankets, suits, uniforms) are favourite targets
Professional Carpet Beetle Treatment
Our treatment targets both larvae and adults across all affected areas. We spray carpets (focusing on edges and under furniture), treat wardrobes and storage areas, and apply insecticidal dust in roof voids where adult beetles often lay eggs. We also provide detailed advice on storage practices and prevention strategies to stop reinfestations.
