To permanently eliminate carpet beetles, start by thoroughly cleaning your home. Vacuum carpets, rugs, upholstery, and any other fabric-covered surfaces regularly, paying close attention to corners, edges, and beneath furniture.
Dispose of the vacuum bag immediately after use to prevent re-infestation. Wash all clothing, linens, and fabrics in hot water and dry them on high heat to kill any remaining beetles or larvae. Additionally, declutter your home to remove potential hiding spots for beetles and their eggs.
Seal cracks and gaps in walls, floors, and windows to prevent beetles from entering your home. Consider using insecticides labeled for carpet beetle control in areas where infestation persists, following the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to ensure safe and effective application.
Finally, monitor your home regularly for signs of re-infestation and take prompt action to address any issues that arise.
