Sometimes, carpet beetles are called black carpet beetles or common carpet beetles and exist throughout most of the U.S. in indoor and outdoor environments. These tiny pests primarily consume plant material and various natural fibers such as cotton or wool. Homeowners should regularly vacuum or otherwise clean rugs, cushions, and on or around furniture.
Do carpet beetles fly? Yes. Carpet beetles develop wings and will fly.
Are you struggling with an infestation of carpet beetles? Consulting with a licensed pest control company is often the best way of responding to these problems. Those who try do-it-yourself home treatment options often experience very mediocre results. A local Dallas pest control professional understands how to get rid of carpet beetles and how to prevent carpet beetles from returning.
Carpet beetle eggs appear white but are barely visible to the naked eye. After emerging from eggs, carpet beetle larvae are often visible and measure up to ¼ of an inch and appear tan or brownish. The larvae shed their skin (exoskeletons) and use their legs for slowly crawling around. After a stage as pupae, adult carpet beetles might appear in shades of cream, brown, or black, have a scaly exterior and wings, and measure roughly 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch long.
Some of the most likely locations that homeowners encounter carpet beetles inside their homes include along the edge of carpets, inside closets, or within clothing or upholstered furniture.
Carpet beetles in Dallas are primarily nuisance pests that pose minimal threats to human health. The females create tiny eggs on objects composed of materials that these pests consume, including carpeting, blankets, clothes, or upholstered furniture. After emerging from eggs, carpet beetle larvae begin feeding directly from the material around them.
In some cases, this larval stage of development might extend for many months, during which time they may continue damaging materials in your home. Carpet beetle larvae also consume natural oils that exist in human hair. They will travel throughout areas of the human body and cause adverse allergic reactions such as rashes that people sometimes mistake for bed bug bites.
Do carpet beetles bite humans? Carpet beetles generally will not bite living organisms such as humans; however, many individuals develop areas of itchy and irritated skin.
Are you wondering how carpet beetles get inside your home? Some of the most common causes of these bothersome pests include the following:
Carpet beetles often exist within the materials used for creating bird or rodent nests. Some property owners find carpet beetles inside packaged foods such as dried meats or pet food.
