Carpet Beetle
Carpet beetles are a common but often overlooked pest in homes. It’s not the beetles themselves causing damage it’s the larvae that feed on natural fibres.
At Dalton Pest, we deal with infestations properly to stop ongoing damage and prevent spread.

-
Small holes in fabrics or materials
-
Larvae (small, hairy/grub-like) in carpets or edges
-
Shed skins near skirting boards or under furniture

Adult beetles found around windows or light
