Signs of a Varied Carpet Beetle Infestation

Holes in Clothes or Fabrics
Tiny, irregular holes, especially in natural materials like wool, silk, or cashmere, are a key warning sign of a clothes moth problem.

Regular cleaning and steam treatments help to remove food sources, but do not guarantee the eradication of an existing infestation.
Shed Larvae Casings
Look for small, brown, shell-like casings left behind by larvae, found in clothes, drawers and fabrics.

This indicates carpet beetles’ activity and means they have likely found their way into other materials like carpets, clothing or other fabrics like wool or cashmere.
Live Beetles or Larvae
Small, mottled adult beetles or brown, hairy larvae may be spotted near windows, skirting boards, or hidden areas.

If concerned, contact a specialist who will be able to provide expert, rapid advice to your situation.
Excretia
Fine, sand-like excretia may appear in infested fabrics or stored items.

Incredibly hard to spot, these are the signs of an ongoing or historical issue within your property. One which may be a routine visit during the same time of year for these damaging pests.

Matthew did an excellent job, from requesting a detailed brief of activity detected, thoroughly and clearly explaining what he was going to do, to completing the inspection and giving a detailed account of the work he did and the recommendations he will include in the report.

Amazing service by Daren. Did the checks very detailed and communicated to the team. Asked about the issues and how he can assist us. Also on his previous visit he went out of his way and helped with the door issue we had as one of our team members was stuck in the toilet. He opened the door for us and let the team member out. Great service
