Expert Carpet Beetle Treatment in Malvern, Worcestershire

Expert Carpet Beetle Treatment Service Covering Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire.


Local, Family-Run Pest Control You Can Trust

Carpet beetles are one of the most damaging textile pests found in UK homes and businesses. While the adult beetles themselves are harmless, their larvae can silently cause serious damage to carpets, rugs, clothing, and upholstery. At Malvern Pest Control, we offer effective and discreet carpet beetle removal across Malvern, as well as Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and Gloucestershire.

As a trusted, family-owned pest control company, we pride ourselves on delivering a personal and professional service that eliminates pests at the source and helps protect your property from future infestations.

Why You Need Carpet Beetle Control

Carpet beetles may go unnoticed until the damage is done. Their larvae—known as “woolly bears”—feed on natural fibres containing keratin, such as wool, silk, fur, and feathers. Without intervention, they can cause:

• Irreversible Damage: Bald patches in carpets, holes in clothes, and damaged upholstery.

• Rapid Reinfestation: Carpet beetles reproduce quickly in the right conditions, and infestations can persist for years without treatment.

• Difficult DIY Removal: Standard cleaning and over-the-counter sprays rarely deal with the eggs and larvae hidden in carpets or floorboards.

Professional pest control is the most reliable way to eliminate all life stages of the carpet beetle and safeguard your home or business.

Signs of a Carpet Beetle Infestation

Unlike moths, carpet beetles are often spotted in daylight, but the real damage is done out of sight. Here are key signs to look out for:

• Bald Patches on Carpets or Rugs: Especially in shaded or low-traffic areas like under furniture.

• Tiny Holes in Clothing or Upholstery: Especially in items made of wool, cashmere, or silk.

• Shed Larval Skins: Brown, bristly cast skins left behind as larvae grow.

• Visible Larvae: Small, hairy brown larvae, often around skirting boards, carpets, or air vents.

• Adult Beetles: Oval-shaped insects (2–4mm long) that resemble ladybirds, often found near windows.

If you spot any of these warning signs, contact Malvern Pest Control for a free inspection and immediate advice.

Our Proven Carpet Beetle Removal Process

Our approach is thorough and tailored to your specific situation, using proven techniques to eliminate the infestation and prevent its return:

1. Free Site Survey

We start with a detailed inspection of the affected areas, identifying hot spots, nesting areas, and the extent of the infestation. We’ll examine carpets, rugs, cupboards, loft spaces, and air vents.

2. Preparation Advice

Before we begin treatment, we’ll advise you on how to prepare the space—this usually includes vacuuming, clearing floor space, and removing sensitive materials for protection.

3. Professional Insecticide Treatment

We apply a residual insecticide spray designed to target adult beetles, larvae, and eggs. This continues working for several weeks after application to break the lifecycle.

In severe cases, we may also use ULV (Ultra-Low Volume) fogging to treat hard-to-reach areas like under floorboards or inside wall voids.

4. Follow-Up Treatment (if needed)

A follow-up visit may be recommended in cases of large or long-term infestations, especially if larvae have penetrated deep into flooring or loft insulation.

5. Advice for Prevention

We provide tailored recommendations to keep your home or business carpet beetle-free, including hygiene tips, sealing entry points, and reducing attractants.

• Inspect Old Textiles & Upholstery: Regularly check wool rugs, natural fibre furnishings, or antique items.
