Safe & Professional Carpet Beetle Removal in Manchester & North UK
Carpet beetles may be small, but they can cause big damage. These pests are notorious for silently destroying your carpets, clothing, upholstery, and soft furnishings, especially those made of natural fibres like wool, silk, leather, or fur. At PEST NIL, we provide expert carpet beetle control and prevention services throughout Manchester and surrounding areas, ensuring your home or business remains damage-free and pest-proof.
🔍 What Are Carpet Beetles?
Carpet beetles are oval-shaped insects resembling ladybirds and can appear in colours ranging from brown and black to yellow and white. Adult carpet beetles are typically 2–3mm in size and not harmful themselves—but their larvae, known as Woolly Bears, are responsible for the real destruction.
They feed on natural fibres and can remain hidden under furniture or in dark, undisturbed areas, making early detection difficult.
🧬 Common Carpet Beetle Species in the UK
Anthrenus verbasci – Varied Carpet Beetle
- Anthrenus museorum – Museum Beetle
- Anthrenus scrophulariae – Common Carpet Beetle
These species are all active in homes, especially during late summer, when adult beetles enter through open windows, vents, or gaps in walls to lay up to 40 eggs at a time in fabric-rich areas.
⚠️ Signs of a Carpet Beetle Infestation
- 🪹 Damaged patches on carpets, rugs, curtains, or clothing
- ⚫ Larvae that resemble tiny furry caterpillars (Woolly Bears)
- 🪰 Adult beetles spotted near windows or light sources
- ⚠️ Shed skins or faecal pellets near furniture edges
- 🌾 Holes in stored natural fibre materials or fabrics
The damage can be confused with moths, but a professional inspection will help identify the true culprit.
🚨 Why Professional Treatment Is Essential
Carpet beetle larvae feed in hidden corners and often go unnoticed until the damage is extensive. DIY sprays may offer short-term relief, but professional treatment is necessary for complete eradication and prevention.
At PEST NIL, we:
- 📍 Identify infestation zones using detailed surveys
- 🧴 Apply residual, non-staining insecticides to treat larvae
- 🐦 Check for contributing factors like old bird nests or loft infestations
- 🧹 Offer deep cleaning and fabric-safe treatments for sensitive items

Our experienced technicians also ensure your carpets and fabrics stay safe throughout the process.
🏡 Where Carpet Beetles Are Found
