"You've finally managed to clear out the creepy crawlies from your rugs and closets, but the battle isn't entirely won. The real challenge now is keeping them out for good. Carpet beetles are notoriously persistent pests that can wreak havoc on natural fibers, from your favorite wool sweater to expensive heirlooms. To protect your home from a re-infestation, you need a strategy that combines diligent hygiene with proven pest control solutions."
"Preventing these tiny destroyers requires consistency. By removing their food sources and blocking their entry points, you make your home a hostile environment for them. Here are the top tips to ensure carpet beetles don't make a comeback. The larvae of carpet beetles are the true culprits behind the damage. They feed on dust bunnies, pet hair, and lint that accumulate in quiet corners. Vacuuming is your first line of defense."
"Clean Under Rugs: Lift up area rugs and vacuum the floor underneath. Larvae often thrive in these undisturbed, dark spaces. Empty the Canister Regularly: If you vacuum up larvae or eggs, they can survive inside the vacuum bag or canister. Empty the contents into an outdoor trash bin immediately after cleaning."
Carpet beetle larvae cause damage by feeding on natural animal fibers and accumulated debris like dust, pet hair, and lint in undisturbed areas. Regular, thorough vacuuming along baseboards, under furniture, in closet corners, and beneath rugs removes larvae, eggs, and debris. Empty vacuum canisters into outdoor trash immediately to prevent survival. Wash or dry-clean wool, silk, fur, and feather items before seasonal storage, then place them in airtight plastic bins or vacuum-seal bags rather than cardboard. Reduce clutter to eliminate hiding spots and food sources. Seal entry points and maintain consistent hygiene to make the home inhospitable to reinfestation.
