Carpet beetles (Anthrenus verbasci and Attagenus species) are one of the most under-diagnosed pests we treat in Campbelltown. The adult beetles are harmless nectar feeders — but their tiny hairy larvae feed on wool carpets, natural-fibre rugs, felt underlay, upholstered furniture, stored woollens and even taxidermy. In many homes they are also the real cause of ‘invisible’ skin irritation blamed on bed bugs or scabies.
Our carpet-beetle treatment combines a targeted internal residual to carpet edges, sub-floor and wardrobe interiors, with an insect-growth regulator and (where appropriate) removal of the reservoir source — usually a forgotten wool rug, a dead-bird nest in a cavity or a wall-void bird carcass.

Species & facts
Most common species — small round mottled beetle 2–3mm long.
Slightly larger dark species — larvae are the destructive stage.
Larvae are the feeding stage — small hairy 'woolly bears' 4–5mm long.
Wool, silk, feathers, fur, felt, leather — synthetic-only homes are less affected.
Larval hairs can trigger contact dermatitis — often misdiagnosed as bed bugs.
A forgotten wool rug, an abandoned bird nest in the eaves or a possum carcass in the cavity is almost always the source.
Every Carpet Beetle Control job we book across Campbelltown starts with the customer noticing one of these signs. If you see any of them, book an inspection — early treatment is always cheaper.
Locate the reservoir — old rug, bird nest, cavity carcass or hidden woollens.
Applied to carpet edges, sub-floor perimeter, wardrobe interiors and skirtings.

Not directly. They don't bite. Larval hairs can trigger skin irritation and they cause serious damage to natural-fibre textiles.
Vacuuming helps reduce numbers but rarely resolves the infestation — the reservoir source and eggs need targeted treatment.
No. Edge and sub-floor treatment reaches the larval-feeding zone without lifting carpet.
