Carpet Beetles Facts
Oval and about 1/8″ long, carpet beetles have a shell that is either entirely black or covered in irregular white, brownish, and yellowish spots. They look like small, 1/4-inch-long, reddish-brown worms when they are in the larval stage. The body can have countless fine hairs that make it appear striped.
DEVELOPMENT:
In 18 days, the 5 to 16 eggs laid by carpet beetles will hatch. The time it takes to mature from a larva to an adult ranges from 251 to 351. The life cycle typically lasts one year when there is plenty of food and warmth. When adult food supplies, such flowers, become available, such as in late spring and early summer, carpet beetles are most prevalent. When homeowners bring in fresh flowers, the eggs follow, and the larvae start eating things like wool, carpets, and furs.
DAMAGE CAUSED BY CARPET BEETLES:
The carpet larva feeds on and primarily harms a wide range of animal and vegetable products, including carpets, wool, skins, furs, silk, rye, coconut, and other spices. Yet adult beetles primarily eat pollen and nectar. With more than 50 years of expertise, Ecopest has a lot of knowledge about treating carpet beetles in BC.
Do It Yourself Tips – Carpet Beetles
Prevention of Carpet Beetles:
There are many methods for preventing an infestation. Remove bird, bee, or rodent nests from around the house in addition to carefully washing pollen and nectar sources before bringing them inside to prevent adult carpet beetles. Regularly cleaning your carpets, furniture, and storage areas will stop the development of Carpet Beetle larvae inside your home.
Control of Carpet Beetles:
Depending on the severity of the infestation, one spray from Blitz Pest Control may be sufficient to manage the carpet beetle. If you have a serious infestation, speak with a Blitz Pest Control specialist for a thorough pest management programme.
GOT THE HUMP WITH BEETLES? OUR BEETLE CONTROL REMOVES THEM FOR GOOD
It’s time to schedule Blitz beetle control if you see any black, brown, patterned, or metallic beetles in your place of business. Beetles are unsightly pests that use their six legs to quickly escape detection and can appear at any time of the year when they’re looking for shelter.
Simply put, companies give beetles food, drink, and a place to hide from raptors. Beetles are a complex category of insects with over 300,000 distinct species worldwide. Most species of beetles have a lifespan of about one year. Despite possessing two sets of wings on the majority of their species, beetles require a consistent supply of both food and water to thrive. Keep in mind that the best option for controlling beetles is to hire professionals like Blitz Pest Control.
Our beetle control specialists respond to beetle infestations swiftly and effectively, from carpet beetle treatment to stored product bug eradication. Although beetle killers are available in stores and online, they are only temporary fixes that fall far short of Blitz’s pest cure. Our beetle exterminators will use their cutting-edge equipment and over 90 years of combined experience to prevent beetle infestations from interfering with your business operations.
Common Beetles In Canada
Carpet Beetles
Size: 2 to 5 mm long
Colour: The back of these insects is spotted with grey-yellow, brown and white scales.
Behavior: Your company could sustain structural harm from this beetle. Larvae of carpet beetles seek out natural fibres to consume. Carpets, cashmere, dead skin, feathers, furs, leather bookbinding, stuffed creatures, and woollens are examples of typical feasts. As for adults, they typically eat pollen and nectar.
Stored Product Beetles
Size: 2 to 4 mm long
Colour: Reddish brown to black.
Behaviour: Red and confused flour insects are obsessed with flour! These pests are to blame for widespread food contamination everywhere. Despite the fact that these beetles cannot consume whole grains, you can still find them in flour, dried fruit, nuts, chocolate, snuff, spices, rodent baits, and medications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Not only do beetles breach businesses themselves, they are sometimes accidently transported indoors via infested products. Effective beetle control involves regular and thorough sanitation, throwing out old or unused dried foods, and plugging any gaps, cracks or holes in your walls.
With most beetles being poor fliers, the best way to get rid of beetles is Blitz Pest Control. We’ve helped business owners with tasks like beetle control for over 90 years, succeeding where many fail with their ineffective, short-term beetle killers.
Most adult beetle species are active for around six months of the year with numbers increasing during the summer wet-season.
Innocuous insects, beetles aren’t considered harmful to humans since they do not spread disease. But do beetles bite? In short, they possess chewing mouthparts so the answer is yes. However, beetles rarely ever bite humans. Particular species like the carpet beetle are scavengers meaning they mostly feed on dead animal products, dry substances, and other debris. Also usually found outdoors eating insects, beetles do cause bigger issues when invading businesses in large numbers. This is when you should get in contact with a professional beetle exterminator like Blitz pest control.
Many things entice beetles onto your premises. Firstly, most beetles are attracted to standard “white” light bulbs and other indoor or outdoor lighting. Leaving any loading dock trash bins open will also entice these pesky intruders onto your property. Canadian business owners should also never leave food products uncovered. Take it from us, beetles won’t distinguish between garbage in your trashcan and discarded food you may have sitting around.
Elsewhere, the other bugs potentially inside your business, like aphids, are a delicacy for many beetles. Lastly, during periods of drought, beetles commonly migrate to water sources inside your business. In short, excess humidity provides beetles with the moisture they need to survive.
Removal of beetles from stored goods is often more about prevention than outright treatment. Prevention and exclusion are the principal methods of controlling beetle species like cigarette beetles in your business. Canadian business owners should focus on identifying and destroying infested materials. Elsewhere, they can place any foodstuffs in airtight plastic containers.
For wood boring or wood-infesting beetles, other beetle control methods need to be used. These include controlling wood moisture, using surface covers, mechanical removal, and freezing. Beetle insecticides may be sold at your local hardware store but they aren’t half as effective as Blitz beetle control.
For proper beetle removal, call our team. Safe for your staff and customers, we will use a beetle treatment on the foundation of your premises, around doorframes, around lower windows, and elsewhere.

Birds came back after they were taken out. Technician were supposed to came back last week but he did not.
