What Are Carpet Beetles?
Carpet beetles are small but destructive pests that can invade your Melbourne home and cause serious damage to carpets, clothing, and upholstered furniture. These tiny insects feed on natural fibers like wool, silk, fur, and leather — often going unnoticed until the damage is done.
Identifying a Carpet Beetle Infestation
Though they may appear harmless, carpet beetles reproduce quickly and can infest hidden areas like wardrobes, skirting boards, or under furniture. Look out for these common warning signs:
- Visible Damage: Small holes or threadbare patches on carpets, rugs, or clothing.
- Adult Beetles: Tiny, oval-shaped beetles, often brown or mottled in color, seen near windows or light sources.
- Larvae: Hairy, worm-like larvae that feed on natural fibers, often hiding in dark corners.
Carpet Beetle Facts
Carpet beetles, often mistaken for harmless ladybugs, are tiny yet destructive pests that can cause serious damage to fabrics and furnishings in your Melbourne home. Both adult beetles and their larvae feed on natural materials such as wool, silk, leather, and fur, often going unnoticed until visible damage appears.
The Life Cycle of a Carpet Beetle
-
Adult Stage:
- Small, oval-shaped beetles, often black, brown, or mottled in pattern.
- Lay eggs on natural fibers such as wool, silk, and fur.
-
Larval Stage:
- Larvae hatch and begin feeding on fabrics, carpets, and stored clothing.
- These hairy larvae are responsible for most of the visible damage.
-
Pupal Stage:
- Larvae form cocoons and pupate, emerging as adult beetles ready to reproduce.

Absolutely. Pest Soldier uses low-toxicity, eco-safe carpet beetle control treatments that are completely safe for your family and pets. We prioritise your home’s health while delivering lasting pest-free results.
Our process begins with a thorough inspection to locate beetles, larvae, and eggs. We then apply targeted treatments using professional-grade insecticides and residual solutions to eliminate all life stages of the beetle and prevent re-infestation.
You’ll start noticing results within a few days of treatment. Depending on the infestation’s severity and the number of life stages present, a complete eradication may take 1–2 weeks for all larvae and eggs to be destroyed.
While vacuuming and home sprays can reduce minor infestations, DIY methods rarely eliminate all larvae and eggs. Professional carpet beetle pest control is necessary for long-term results and to prevent damage to fabrics and furniture.
