CARPET BEETLE INFESTATION INFORMATION & FACTS

Carpet beetles grow to be 1 to 4 mm in size. There are three carpet beetle species common to North America: the black carpet beetle, the furniture carpet beetle and the varied carpet beetle. Black carpet beetles are shiny-black in colour with brownish legs. Furniture carpet beetles are covered in yellow and white spots with black scales. Varied carpet beetles feature a mixture of white, brown, and yellow.

These pests enter the home through doors, improperly sealed windows and other small openings. While adult beetles feed on seeds, plants and flowers, carpet beetle larvae are much more destructive, consuming fabric or fur. Carpet beetle infestations tend to go unnoticed for long periods of time, allowing them to cause severe damage to bedding, clothes, pillows, carpets and upholstered furniture.

Females lay 25 to 100 carpet beetle eggs, which hatch into larvae within two weeks. Depending on food sources and climate, carpet beetle larvae may take over a year to develop into adults.

A major part of carpet beetle control is through regular vacuuming to prevent the accumulation of lint, hair, and other carpet beetle food materials.

I want to thank Sarah! She really did a amazing inspection! I had a issue with mice. Sarah cover the inside and outside taking care of holes/gaps above the front and back doors. attics and garage. And has a very caring attitude towards her clients! I have know about Environmental Pest control for many years as they looked after issues with a school board I worked for.

We just had a fall treatment done at our country property. We never hesitate to call this company to protect us from ladybugs, cluster flies and more. You can count on them for punctuality, professionalism and thoroughness. Shout out to Cody who went above and beyond today: on his own accord, he brought our garbage/recycling bins to our garage door from the road and was able to retrieve a helium balloon that had floated up to the top of our cathedral ceiling. We are seniors, so these gestures of kindness were most appreciated. Highly recommend!

I cannot rate this company high enough. I first talked with Thomas on the phone. He was so polite and patient with this 79 year old lady animal advocate. He talked me through everything and I made my choice of the service I desired. I got an appointment the next day. Craig was right on time and he went through everything again and made sure I understood the whole procedure. I feel I got a very fair price for the work done. Do not hesitate to call Environmental Pest Control if you need help with wasps as I did!

I recently had the bait boxes refilled to avoid having mice move into my house as the weather turns colder. Mike and Jake arrived at the appointed time. Both gentlemen were polite, friendly and very professional. When they left, I contacted Kassandra to arrange payment. She was lovely, pleasant and polite, a pleasure to speak with. I have used the services of this company for years and have always been pleased.
