Carpet beetles
There is more than one type of carpet beetle, so you may not immediately realise that you have an infestation (our free pest identification service can help – just email us a picture at mail@attackpests.com).
A typical carpet beetle resembles a ladybird, around 2-3mm long and with colouring that is brown/black, sometimes with yellow and white features. However, towards the end of the summer they can come indoors and lay their eggs near soft furnishings, carpets and curtains – usually the eggs are laid in air ducts, wardrobes or lounge furniture.
The resulting larvae are often called ‘woolly bears’, about 4-5mm long with brown hairs. They eat a range of organic material including cotton and wool, so they can cause serious damage.
The Bristol pest controller uses highly effective insecticides to eradicate infestations safely and completely – and to make sure that re-infestation does not occur (a common problem with DIY treatments).
