How to Tell You Have Carpet Beetles
Carpet beetle larvae do the damage. They feed on wool, fur, feathers, pet hair and lint in quiet, undisturbed spots, while the adults are usually seen near windows.
Adults are small, round and about the size of a pinhead, often with a mottled pattern. Larvae are tiny, fuzzy and banded brown.
Small adult beetles on window sills, shed larval skins, and irregular holes in wool rugs, sweaters, upholstery or stored blankets.
Adults are most noticed in spring and early summer near windows. Larvae can feed indoors year round.
Under furniture, along carpet edges, inside closets and storage boxes, in air vents, and anywhere pet hair and lint collect.

Carpet Beetles in Colorado Springs
Where Carpet Beetle Larvae Hide
The small round beetles on windowsills in spring are usually adult carpet beetles trying to get outside. The damage comes from the larvae, which are tiny, hairy and brown and feed on wool, fur, feathers, pet hair, lint and dead insects.
Larvae hide in quiet places: under furniture and rugs, along baseboards, in closets, in stored clothing and blankets, and in air vents where lint collects.
In Colorado homes they also feed on dead insects in attics and walls, such as cluster flies, boxelder bugs or old bird and rodent nests. A home that had one of those problems can see carpet beetles afterward.
Answers Before Service
Carpet Beetle Control Questions
Review the common questions below, then call if your property or activity requires a different scope.
Why are adult beetles near windows?
Adults are attracted to light and may collect at windows away from larval food sources. Larvae, skins, damage, and protected material usually better define the source.
What materials should I inspect?
Check natural fibers, rugs, clothing, upholstery, stored items, lint, pet hair, dead insects, feathers, nests, and protected floor or shelf edges.
Should I move affected textiles?
Avoid moving suspect items to unaffected rooms before the source and handling plan are reviewed. Photograph damage, labels, larvae, and storage first.
Can the work be quoted by phone?
A phone quote may be possible when identification and scope are clear. Quotes are free by phone or text.
Are carpet beetles harmful to people?
They do not bite. Some people react to the tiny hairs on the larvae with an itchy rash.
Can carpet beetles live in my bed?
They can feed on wool blankets, feather pillows or lint under a bed, but they are not bed bugs and do not feed on people.
Why do I see beetles on the window sill?
Adults are drawn to light and often gather at windows, which is a clue that larvae are developing somewhere inside.
Where do carpet beetles come from?
Adults can fly in from outdoors, where they feed on flower pollen, or be carried in on cut flowers and stored items.
How much does carpet beetle treatment cost?
Price depends on how widespread the activity is and how many rooms are involved. Many quotes can be given by phone for free. Quotes are free by phone or text.
Can you come out the same day for carpet beetles?
When the schedule allows, yes. Call early in the day.
How do I protect wool clothing and rugs?
Clean items before storing them, store them in sealed bins or bags, and vacuum under rugs and furniture regularly.
What should I do before a carpet beetle treatment?
Vacuum thoroughly, wash or dry clean affected fabrics, and clear floors under beds and in closets. Ask for a prep list when you book.
