Carpet beetles do not have the name recognition that other destructive pests like carpenter ants, silverfish and termites do. Unfortunately, that doesn’t prevent them from causing costly property damage in New Jersey homes.

Identifying Carpet Beetles

Adult carpet beetles are tiny, oval-shaped bugs measuring roughly one-eighth of an inch in length. Often mistaken for bed bugs or fleas, they have wings hidden beneath hard shells that vary in color depending on their exact species. Immature carpet beetles look very different from their elders; they are small hairy worms covered in tufts of bristly hair. Carpet beetles sometimes enter homes by hitching a ride on cut flowers or items made from natural fibers. Alternately, they may simply find their way inside through a door, window or crack in a home’s building envelope.

Once inside a home, carpet beetles make a beeline for dark, hidden locations. They favor undisturbed places that allow them to stay out of sight, including areas inside walls or chimneys, behind baseboards, in closets or storage boxes, or in the attic or basement. Thanks to their stealthy habits, their presence often goes unnoticed until the damage from their feeding habits becomes a problem. Carpet beetles will eat most natural fibers, including wool, leather, fur, silk, feathers and cotton. They generally avoid synthetic fibers, but they will also nibble on plants, grains, pet food, and books and other paper products. Their dietary preferences mean that these tiny pests can do major damage to carpets, furniture, upholstery, clothing, bedding and other possessions. Fortunately, they don’t bite people, but individuals with sensitive skin may develop an itchy case of contact dermatitis if they have a close encounter with a carpet beetle.

5 Star Review

We left Viking Pest Control and switched to Arkadia for 2 reasons:

1. Price. Viking lantern fly treatment $500. Arcadia $20. Yes.

2. Arkadia is a very Green company which is important because i plant pollinator gardens, grow my own food and feed birds etc.

If this changes we will seek another company, but so far we are very very happy! Good customer service each time we call.

I’ve been using Arkadia for years to treat my property for ticks. Their eco-friendly treatment is amazing. It works so well that after my first treatment, my neighbor asked which company I used because their dogs ended up covered in ticks. The ticks from my property ended up in hers. Needless to say we are big fans of Arkadia!
