Carpet Beetle

The larvae form of the carpet beetle is known as a wooly bear. It is quite hairy. It is striped tan and white in color. They feed on natural fibers and can damage carpets, furniture and clothing. Regular vacuuming will keep their numbers down.

Carpet beetles develop from larvae to adult in 1 to 3 years. Larvae hatch in spring and early summer, often in bird nests or around stored fabric. Adults emerge between late May and early August. Adults are pollen eaters and fly around for two weeks to mate.

Adult beetles usually lay their eggs in air ducts, in closets, under furniture, or under baseboards.

Carpet beetles occur naturally outdoors and then make their way into buildings.  They may enter through improperly sealed or improperly screened doors and windows or through other cracks or crevices, but due to their small size, sealing them out is very difficult.

A common food source for carpet beetles is pet hair.  In areas around or behind furniture, accumulation of hair may provide ample food for this pest.

Both adults and larvae prefer to feed in dark, undisturbed areas. Because an infestation can go unnoticed until it is widespread, treatment is best left to pest control professionals. Contact Hart’s Extermination for the best safe options.

  • “Mark came out at our arranged time and treated the areas locally for a fraction of the price that the other company wanted for tenting.

    Amanda L – Laguna Hills, CA
  • “Thing is, my friend is P-S-Y-C-H-O-T-I-C about cockroaches. I mean, she went so bloody hysterical while he was adding the last slice of salami to his sandwich that I thought the neighbors were going to call the cops.

    Jesseca S. – Santa Monica, CA
  • “We live in Oceanside, a little in the boonies and have Coyotes, and raccoon and possum’s, rabbits, moles and squirrels all over our property bringing in fleas and we fight a losing battle every summer

  • Mark has to be the nicest most honest guy I’ve ever met. He has been doing pest control at my house for years and we just adore him.

  • I called Harts and spoke with Mark; I told him I have a swarm of bees in front of my house that I need to get rid of.

    A. D. – Laguna Niguel, CA
  • “I accepted some moving boxes from a friend and accidentally brought in a roach infestation. Apparently roaches live off of the glue in cardboard boxes so beware of those bearing moving supplies.
