Signs of a Carpet Beetles Infestation
What are the signs of a cockroach infestation? Here are a few signs to look out for:
Damaged Fabrics: Carpet beetles love to munch on natural fibers like wool, silk, and cotton. If you notice holes or frayed edges in your clothes or carpets, it could be a sign of these bugs.
Bald Patches in Carpets: These pests feed on the fibers of the carpet, causing noticeable damage. Bald patches can grow larger if the infestation is not addressed.
Shed Larval Skins: As the larvae grow, they shed their skins. These skins can often be found in areas where carpet beetles are active.
Fecal Pellets: These tiny droppings look like small black specks and are often found near damaged fabrics or bald patches in carpets.
Adult Carpet Beetles: Adult carpet beetles are small pests that can cause big problems. They usually measure about 1/8 to 1/4 inch long.
CARPET BEETLE HABITAT
Carpet beetles are attracted to natural fibers like wool, silk, cotton, and fur, commonly used in carpets, clothing, upholstery, and other household items. They thrive in dark, undisturbed areas and can be found in closets, attics, and storage boxes2. Carpet beetles do not have nests but lay eggs in fabric materials, which can hatch and spread quickly.
There is a common misconception that infestations are a result of poor hygiene. Carpet beetles, like bed bugs, do not have a preference for cleanliness. They are only concerned with finding a suitable environment to lay their eggs. Therefore, they often hide in places that provide easy access to fabric materials2.
INVISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE
Carpet beetles are tiny and can be difficult to spot until there is a significant infestation. They are silent attackers, often going unnoticed until they have caused considerable damage to fabrics.
