Carpet Beetle Care
Pest Care Guide
About This Pest
Why They're Here
Carpet beetle larvae feed on natural fibers like wool, silk, and feathers. Adults fly in from outside and lay eggs in quiet, undisturbed areas — closets, under furniture, and along baseboards.
What to Watch For
Small irregular holes in wool clothing, blankets, or rugs. You may also find tiny shed larval skins or small, round adult beetles near windows.
Our Natural Approach
Targeted Treatment
We use targeted, least-toxic treatments — botanical and mineral-based as the primary approach — to address the source of the problem, not just the symptoms. Our approach focuses on long-term results, not quick fixes.
Family-Conscious Formulas
Our primary toolkit is botanical and mineral-based, formulated to minimize risk to your family and pets. No synthetic pyrethroid sprays. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt (essential-oil based) or EPA-registered minimum-risk pesticides (silica gel, borate).
How You Can Help
- Vacuum regularly, especially under furniture and along baseboards.
- Store wool and silk items in sealed bags or containers.
- Clean out closets and storage areas periodically.
- Wash or dry-clean seasonal clothing before storing.
Family & Pet Considerations
Our treatments use botanical and mineral-based products to minimize risk to your family — children and pets included. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt or EPA-registered minimum-risk. If we ever recommend an EPA-registered escalation product, we'll show you the label and explain it before applying.
