Carpet Beetles Treatment in Adelaide
Say Bye to Carpet Beetles in Adelaide
Tiny pests, big damage – Carpet beetles and their larvae are common pests quietly munching through Adelaide homes. From carpets to rugs, couches, leather, and more – they feast on natural fibres and even sneak into food packaging. Carpet beetle larvae are a real nuisance. They thrive best in dark corners, furniture, and hidden nooks.
Miss the first carpet beetles during the first infestation, and you’ll have an endless cycle of destruction. An Australian female adult carpet beetle lays as many as 90 eggs and they hatch as quickly as 8 days. Early detection is key. Don’t let these invaders win. Stop them before they chew through your favourite rug.
Get in touch now with Allstate Pest Control for expert carpet beetle treatment.
How to spot a carpet beetle outbreak
- Varied carpet beetles are 2-3mm long and have a unique light and dark brown banded wing pattern. On closer inspection, you’ll notice this is made of white, brown and yellow scales. Their larvae are light brown to yellow and 4-5mm long.
- Black carpet beetles are dark-coloured and grow 2-2.5mm long; their larvae are also dark brown. They will moult their outer layer of skin and leave it behind, causing a mess.
- Larvae will attack carpets, wool, animal hides, fur, feathers and fabrics such as cotton, wool and silk.
- Look for them in quiet, dark, undisturbed places.
If you notice carpet beetles in your home or car, it is important to vacuum thoroughly and consider professional pest control services for effective removal.

How carpet beetle control works
Although outbreaks can be extensive, we have the experience and proper equipment to kill carpet beetles using effective methods such as thoroughly cleaning secondhand furniture and professional pest control services. We recommend installing insect screens to prevent carpet beetles from entering your home, especially if you live near gardens, forests, or parks. With our targeted treatment plan, we’re able to minimise the disruption to your home as much as possible.
Fumigation with residual insecticide
After you’ve cleaned the affected areas and furniture, including hair, dead insects, and dead skin, as best as you can, we’ll spray them with a pyrethrin-based insecticide that can remain active on surfaces long after application. This is an effective way of getting rid of heavy infestations, as the fine aerosol particles can penetrate hiding spots as well as cracks and crevices.
Pheromone traps
For commercial and industrial settings, we use pheromone traps to safeguard your business from carpet beetles as part of a monitoring program. These traps contain a sticky adhesive embedded with an attractant to lure male beetles so they cannot mate, reducing the carpet beetle population.
Follow-up treatment
After your initial treatment, we’ll review the results and repeat the treatment in 3 weeks, in line with the carpet beetle life cycle. We are always available 24/7, fully equipped and highly responsive to all your urgent enquiries.

Frequently Asked Questions about carpet beetles
How do I permanently manage carpet beetles in Adelaide, Australia?
To permanently manage carpet beetles, vacuum thoroughly, wash fabrics in hot water, and steam-clean carpets. Use insecticides with deltamethrin or bifenthrin, or natural treatments like boric acid and diatomaceous earth. Seal entry points to prevent reinfestation, and seek professional pest control if needed.
What does baking soda do to carpet beetle infestation?
Baking soda’s pH of 9.5 makes it deadly to carpet beetles but harmless to humans. Raising the carpet’s pH dehydrates and kills beetles, eggs, and larvae.
What time of day are carpet beetles most active?
Adult carpet beetles love sunlight and are most active during the day, especially around flowers. Carpet beetle larvae, however, prefer the dark and are more active at night.
What is the best pesticide for carpet beetles?
Choose pesticides with deltamethrin, bifenthrin, or cyfluthrin for effective results. Boric acid also works wonders to kill carpet beetles and their larvae.
What kills carpet beetle eggs?
Steam cleaning is your best option as a DIYer—it kills eggs, larvae, and adult beetles on contact. Rubbing alcohol also deters egg-laying, and a bleach solution (1 part bleach, 3 parts water) destroys eggs in seconds.
