Carpet Beetle Preparation Guidelines

Breeding areas can be very diverse. Infestations often result from accumulated dander, fur, and hair. We recommend that customers perform a deep cleaning before requesting service. Sometimes, doing this alone will resolve your problem. If it does not eradicate the infestation after two weeks, contact us for treatment. The deep cleaning will eliminate many potential breeding areas and prepare the site for service.

Targeting Hidden Breeding Sites for Carpet Beetles

In many cases, carpet beetles have hidden sources that are not easily accessible. They move from these hidden sources into the living space. Most of these hidden sources result from a different pest in the structure.

This can be from old rodent bait left in basements and attics.
It could be from an animal carcass, like a dead mouse.
Mice can store acorns in walls that cause an infestation.
Old nesting material from bird and rodent infestations.
Carpet beetles also feed on dead insects. This could be from dead roaches, old bee or wasp nests, or dead overwintering pests like attic flies, stinkbugs, or Asian ladybird beetles.

Service Area

Our service area is inside the purple line. We service homes outside of the purple line. However, a “trip charge” will be incurred to account for longer drive times.

Out of Area “Trip Charge”

For locations outside the purple line- up to forty minutes from the office, a “trip charge” of $50 per visit applies for single services and non-warrantied follow-up visits. Add $100 for multi-visit service plans. We do not service homes over 40 minutes away. During the busy April-October season, we might be unable to service homes outside the purple line. We are likelier to take jobs to the West than jobs further away to the South or East.
