Are carpet beetles the same as clothes moths?

No. Both can damage fabrics, but carpet beetle larvae are typically hairy, while clothes moth larvae may leave silk webbing or portable cases.

Should I throw out my carpet?

Not automatically. The extent of damage and activity needs inspection first. Cleaning and targeted treatment may be suitable without replacing the whole carpet.

How should I prepare for carpet beetle treatment?

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.

The short answer

How do you get rid of carpet beetles?

Carpet beetle control finds and treats the larvae that chew wool carpets, rugs and stored clothing. We cover all of Sydney 24/7. Each visit covers fabric pest identification, carpet edges and storage and targeted treatment. Call 0494 527 527 or request a free quote online to book.

Check the warning signs

Identify it first

Find the source.
Choose the right approach.

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

What we treat, in plain English.

We identify the pest, find where it is living and choose the treatment that suits your property.

Fabric pest identification

We separate carpet beetle larvae from clothes moths so the plan matches the pest.

Carpet edges and storage

Rugs, wardrobes, skirting and beneath furniture are inspected for larvae, shed skins and feeding damage.

Targeted treatment

Suitable registered products are used in identified harbourages, with clear preparation and re-entry advice.

Protect vulnerable belongings

Vacuuming edges, cleaning affected textiles and sealed storage help remove food and reduce reinfestation.

Our process

A smarter approach to carpet beetle control.

We do not just spray and leave. We find the source, treat it properly and help stop it coming back.

Show us the damage

Keep a clear photo of the insect and affected fabric.

“Absolutely amazing service from Harris at Correct Termite & Pest Solutions! I was having a terrible problem with German cockroaches and spiders around my home, and Harris did an outstanding job getting the situation under control. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, thorough and genuinely cared about making sure the job was done properly. What stood out to me the most was how much of a gentleman he is. He was respectful, honest, friendly and took the time to explain everything clearly. It’s rare to come across someone who takes so much pride in their work and genuinely cares about their customers. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Harris and Correct Termite & Pest Solutions to anyone looking for reliable, professional pest control. Definitely a 5-star experience!”
