Check the warning signs
Identify it first
Carpet beetle larvae, not the adult beetles, damage wool, feathers and other animal-based materials. They can hide beneath furniture, along carpet edges and in undisturbed cupboards in Sydney homes.
An adult on a windowsill does not tell us how far the problem has spread. We check the damaged materials and hidden lint, then build a treatment and cleaning plan around the evidence.

Know the problem
We identify the pest, find where it is living and choose the treatment that suits your property.
We separate carpet beetle larvae from clothes moths so the plan matches the pest.
Rugs, wardrobes, skirting and beneath furniture are inspected for larvae, shed skins and feeding damage.
Suitable registered products are used in identified harbourages, with clear preparation and re-entry advice.
Vacuuming edges, cleaning affected textiles and sealed storage help remove food and reduce reinfestation.
Our process
We do not just spray and leave. We find the source, treat it properly and help stop it coming back.

Keep a clear photo of the insect and affected fabric.

We inspect hidden edges, stored textiles and feeding sites.

Targeted treatment and cleaning advice help protect what is left.
Straight answers
Their larvae can damage wool carpets and other animal-based materials. Synthetic carpet can still hold lint or debris that supports larvae.
No. Both can damage fabrics, but carpet beetle larvae are typically hairy, while clothes moth larvae may leave silk webbing or portable cases.
Not automatically. The extent of damage and activity needs inspection first. Cleaning and targeted treatment may be suitable without replacing the whole carpet.
Keep a photo or sample if practical, note damaged items and tell us about pets. We will explain what needs moving, cleaning or covering before the visit.
For additional identification or safety guidance, see these Australian resources. Your treatment plan is based on an inspection of your property.
