Beetle Control

Identify and clear carpet beetles and stored-product beetles

About beetles

Several beetle species become household and commercial pests, from carpet beetles whose larvae (woolly bears) damage natural fibres, to stored-product beetles that infest dry food. Correct identification matters because the treatment differs, and our technicians pin down the species before recommending the right programme.

How to spot them

Signs of a beetle problem

  • Small beetles on windowsills and around light fittings
  • Bristly larvae or shed skins near carpets and stored fabrics
  • Damage to wool carpets, textiles or dry food stores
  • Larvae in airing cupboards, lofts and under furniture
Why it matters

The risks of leaving beetles untreated

  • Damage to carpets, clothing and natural-fibre furnishings
  • Contamination of dry food in pantries and commercial stores
  • Persistent reinfestation if the larval source is missed
Our approach

How we treat beetles

01

Identify the beetle species and locate the larval source

02

Treat affected fabrics, voids and storage areas

03

Remove and protect infested dry goods where relevant

04

Re-inspect to confirm larvae are no longer active

Keep them away

Preventing beetles coming back

  • Vacuum carpet edges and undisturbed areas regularly
  • Store dry food and natural fabrics in sealed containers
  • Check lofts, old birds' nests and airing cupboards for larvae

When you will see them

Adult beetles emerge and disperse in spring and summer, while larvae can feed in warm interiors throughout the year.

Guaranteed treatment

We treat the source and proof the entry points, then follow up to make sure the problem stays solved.
