A careful visual inspection of your home will be performed by our entomologist. This inspection includes checking for tiny spherical casings, shed skins, irregular holes in wool rugs and other feathered or fabric items, as well as live larvae (fuzzy and brownish in appearance).
We’ll also work to identify the root cause of the infestation, which is a crucial step in performing a thorough and effective treatment, as well as preventing future outbreaks. Our experts will also provide guidance on prevention methods, including how to recognize carpet beetles (2–5 mm, oval-shaped insects with black, brown, white, or yellow mottled patterns).
Carpet Beetle Extermination
Before any type of extermination strategy can be devised, our entomologist will first need to find the source of these carpet beetles. Then, the infested sites will be thoroughly cleaned. Vacuuming will remove live beetles, larvae, eggs, and the organic materials they feed on, such as lint, pet hair, and fabric fibers. Emphasis is given to carpets, rugs, furniture seams, baseboards, air vents, and corners where debris tends to collect.
When appropriate, dry steam treatment at temperatures above 120°C is used to penetrate delicate fabrics and eliminate larvae embedded deep within wool, feathered, or upholstered materials. This method is effective, non-toxic, and leaves your furniture and finishes completely unharmed.
Our exterminators and entomologists develop custom treatment plans tailored to your home’s specific needs, always taking into account the presence of pets, children, and residents.
