They feed on food crumbs and drink spills found in them. They usually live in a colony system where only the queen lays eggs. The unfertile females are the workers while males just mate and die. Ants are omnivores. They can practically eat everything from vegetables, fruits, meats, and grains. They have a strong sweet tooth so sugary stuff is their favorite. Don't underestimate these tiny insects based on their size. Ants can cause some of the biggest infestations.
Have you ever encountered an ant infestation in your carpets? Frustrating, right? This post will talk about house ants in detail, their feed and lifestyle. Bed bugs are sometimes confused with carpet beetles. Remember that they are two different creatures. The former have flatter bodies. They are blood-suckers. I mean they bite humans and feed on the blood. They are mostly found near your bed or in the mattress.
So yeah, you might be sleeping with bed bugs. I know this is a disturbing fact. This dangerous pest can hide in carpets as well since they have thin bodies. These do not have wings but are excellent climbers. From walls to wood, they can make their way up through any material. Bed bugs do not have larvae. They just grow in size as they mature. This is what a bed bug looks like. I recommend that you read the following post in order to get to know these unpleasant pests better.

You can probably think of times when you were sitting on the carpet with your friends. An intense game of monopoly was going on. You all were munching on chips to stay relaxed. Oh, and probably drinking soft drinks too. While everyone was so absorbed in having a good time, there were crumbs fallen on the carpet no one noticed.
Drinks could have been spilled too. You probably did clean the stain, but the carpets are quick in absorbing liquids. So, carpet bugs feed on these food and drink remains. They make the carpets their habitat as they find a constant food supply in them.
This exposes a real threat to your carpets, under your furniture and even pantries. You probably would agree with the fact that places like under your furniture often get neglected by us. We don't clean them much even if we vacuum every day. Carpets usually have spots where dust settles the most. It could be at the edges.
We don't pay much attention to those as well. This results in the accumulation of dust and dirt. Combine that with the fact that such patches are undisturbed. Ta-Da, a comfortable home for pests. Yes No. Related Categories Categories Carpet Beetles. Nitrile Chemical Resistant Gloves.

Can you let me know the name of the new product that kills carpet beetles and where to order it from. I would be very grateful. Thank You. Thesr little pests infested a hole in my mattress last year and made a nest it was so gross! They can also damage clothing as I had that issue as well. Funny o never saw them in my room until I started inspecting my entire house weekly ad my daughter had reports of bed bugs in school.
Vacuuming totally helps I shampoo my living room rugs frequently. I have also lined all my draws and closets with cedar as well as spray a natural bug spray cedarcide every time I chang beds weekly and vacume.
I also have the outside premises of my home sprayed as these bugs do come in for outside. I have found a few here or there with the humidity. But it can be controlled. Cleaning is definitely a key component especially if you have pets.
I wondered why I am breaking out in rashes everywhere. I have seeen the larvae too. So glad I found this site. I really thought I was losing my mind as people ;just poo pooed it. So wahat itis the best thing to use. I dont care if carpet turns green. Cant believe exterminator acted like it was noting. I have centipedes and carpet beetles. Any suggestions would be appreciated! I was curious if leaving a light on in a closet would help to keep carpet beetles away? I had read that an active closet, and one with sunlight hitting it once in a while helped.
That is why I was wondering about leaving a light on once in a while. I am seen to be killing the tiny black beetles that eat everything, including floors and synthetic clothing, with straight ammonia. I just put it in a spray bottle and go. It may not be healthy but I pulled up and tossed all the carpeting and found that the beetles had eaten through the dang floor! Anyway, you have to douse all the cracks in the floor and furniture as well as the base boards.
I have carpet beetles inside my car. They did to vacuum the car. Please someone out there help me. Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum and use raid blue can foggers. Not just once. We had to fog the car 3x in 6 weeks. Also vacuumed everyday for 6 wks. Also a car wash pressure washer to get out the dead yuk from everywhere.
Example, my rubber around the windows were really caked. Clean back of car where spare tire or tire tools are stored and also look for any tiny rips in the fabric in the ceiling of the car. Also wash all windows everyday. Clean the places under seats, between seats, visors, seat belt areas, all vinyl.
THEN do what we did for 6 weeks. Finally after all of this the last two car trips we had no issues. Watch what is on your feet. They do not like intruders from other places. Try changing shoes which are clean when you can. We are both beat up mentally and physically. Only God keeps us going. From Eugene, OR. I have wash every single item in my closet and drawers and that was before I found out that I have this infestation.
The eggs, etc are now in my bags of clean clothes. I also have? The itching is horrible no relief at all. What the crap!!! The reason I spray on alcohol, it helps keep them off me.
Does anyone know how they hit these stupid beetles? Where do they come from? I too am fighting the carpet beetle battle but I DO have an answer for the slugs! Put some full strength ammonia in a spray bottle and spray the little bastards. Yes, I know it sounds to simple, but it works. It is so satisfying to watch them curl up and die. I had them horridly in my last home, so bad that when I came home at night after work, the outside of my house looked like a horror movie.
I stumbled upon the ammonia trick. Within two weeks of nightly slug hunts, I was free!! Then I just had to spray once in a while when I saw them return. I hope this helps you. I think slugs gross me out the most, more than beetles. First, i had them in my house, then i was ok, cause we cured the problem with boiling borax laundry detergent with water and make sure it gets dissolved good, and my husband sprayed everything from topof the ceiling to furniture,youve got to our they will just hide and come back.
Well, every time i would get in my car i would start getting stung by something, my husband soaked and sprayed everything in my car last night with the Borax mixture.
These things have caused a lot of damage, and alot of mental down periods for me. But good luck. Thanks Holley. I have thought and used many of my ideas. Did not think of this. Used boric acid powder out of the container. So just boil it, make sure dissolved, put in sprayer and hit it all? Furniture too. Thanks a millon.
You might have saved our lives. J and kari in springfield, or. Like I said me and my dashhound moved in with my mother in law, my husband soaked everthing. I mean everthing , floors, ceiling erc…. Then the next day what did I see hiding in the sunshine I my carpet. It costed us This had been a fight. And honestly I almost had a nervous break down, cause even at my mother in laws I thought things was crawling on me.
Good luck! But they wad ignorant of the situation….. Hey Mia, well i have gotten rid of yhe carpet beetles.
But IT has gotten better…. I have found a black carpet beetle and cast skins from the larvae unless that was bed bugs skin.
I have pco on the job. Is it scabies, is it bed bugs or is it mites on black beetles that are causing my pimple like rash? Iv got black carpet beetles,they come out at night and i have to crush them then each day i thourghly clean my house i would like to know if theres a spray i can use to eliminate them thank you.
I found a ortho spray at home depot it has been killing any of the beetles that are coming out I know its been a while since you posted but thought I would help. Worst product ever! I took a video of them walking all over my patio glass door, while it was dripping and loaded with Ortho.
It was as if I sprayed water with no effect. Getting a full refund on those Ortho bottles. Raid worked for 2 days, then I got thousands more. I need to find a pesticide that keeps working to keep adult carpet beetles away from my screened porch. I am so glad that I am not crazy. Had termites and they are under control but the guy said they are just centipedes. I am ready to replace carpeting for wood flooring but am afria they will stil be there. I feel like they are everywhere! What is the best thing to use?
Exterminators cant help. I use tea tree special shampoo by paul Mitchell for my hair….. HeyJosie, How goes your carpet beetle issue. This carpet beetle infestation has now totally taken over our house. We have been staying in various motels in are area. Have had 2 pest control companies, contacted local extension service, have been seen twice by medical professionals and I look like a porcupine with all the welts, bites and pings from the Super Bug.
I still have them in my nose, ears, bellybutton, eyes, throat, bottom of feet, cuticles and now my bowels. SENT pics last week of devastating damage these creatures have done.
Waiting for them to report back. I spend all day cleaning and bagging my house, combing my hair, using garlic, cayenne pepper, salt, anything..
And my three boys and husband are slobs and think. Are you still having the infestation problem. After 6 weeks of motels we went back to the house to see if we could live in our motorhome.
Even this is a full time problem just keeping it liveable. Wash sheets and all linen everyday. Change clothing two to three times a day. Constant vacuumIng the entire hpuse. Washing clothes constantly. Car is vacuumed daily. Showering twice a day. Constantly having to put all items food and non out of any contact with pests. Maintaining but not gaining anything. We are both disabled due to separate accidents.
We have only been together 11 months. What a way to start a partnership. No news. Will let everyone know if there is an issue on it that is connected. Dr that saw me would not look in my nose, throat or ears or even touch my feet or touch me at all.
We just laughed after we left. Hi Kari This is Terri in Sarasota. I will share But at this second I have the white cotton looking bugs eating my hair away I mean I look like a cancer patients. I see them but they do not comb out. To shave my head and get a wig. Only last night. I read on this blog. Someone commented they eat through wigs also. I found that spectrum insect killer, white plastic bottle and black flag insect killer.
All others just ended as a temp relief. Everyones situation has been slightly different but the same thing in all these cases is no one will ever believe you, they call it crazy… and these pests keep living on and on and on.
They can stay dormant up to 10 yrs. It a very serious problem. Stay well. It is nice to see you remind peploe that parents who use formula are not inherently evil bad parents, and there are many valid reasons for using formula. I breastfed as long as I could but eventually like you said I could not keep up with demand and am happy I have good formula options.
Also, because both major brands of formula tout different benefits we have been switching back and forth between the two just in case, who knows and baby is totally fine. Babies are not burdened with brand allegiance, they just want to eat and thrive and be happy!
Thanks for such a fun and helpful blog. Much appreciated! I have an 18 month old grand son whom I found a black pepper size carpet beetle on his nose, and one right between his eyebrows. They were stuck to his skin. When I pulled them off there was blood. I am allergic and had emergency room surgery to the to of my head 7days ago where one got into my follicle and infected it. I am on antibiotics oral, and cream. Appointment made with infectious diseases. I clean all the time. Sounds more like you have lice or bedbugs.
Hello everyone. I have done all of that. They are not lice. I am being treated by infectious disease control. I have taken specimens with me. Tests are still being performed. They do have the little hairs on their back that sting. I will try to figure out how to upload pictures. I was born in the south and raised vegetables. I am an outdoor person. This is a pest that I am not familiar with. Research is what love to do.
Discription searches always come back to the varied carpet beetles. The larvae pictures on this site with the ink pen are what I use clear boxing tape to remove them from carpet. My walk in closet is an area I have treated extensively. I even was frightened by a large black beetle like I saw outside flying around. I have packed many pieces in space bags.
The lease is up next month and thinking of taking nothing with me and starting over. I use an herbal mixture on a q-tip to clean all family ears. They turn a loose and get stuck on the tip. My doctor has told my daughter that everyone need to be treated. The doctors still have a hard time with this. Biopsy showed what they call an unidentified colony of unknowns. So I still wait. I had to fight my way from primary doctor, emergency room, dermatologist 2 , then finally to infectious diseases. When ER cut into my hair the fight to get to the top was over.
They did and they got them and sent them to pathology who is working with specialists to identify. I wait and continue doing what I can. Vacuum every day, keeping hair clean spray for flying ones with herbal mixture, and continues washing. For a disabled person This is so hard but I have found so many people out their who have been told this is all in their minds I have to keep the fight going.
Pest control was no help. These things are resilient, appear gone for a few days and back with a vengeance. Yes, they are the black ones. I have also seen the grey ones too. I have a very low immune system. Did you find out what they are. We are being eaten alive after a trip to AZ, not bedbugs, not scabies, always say carpet beetles. I had to have foot surgery since I am diabetic and so allergic to whatever this is. In a nutshell, it appears that there are a few unlucky people who are allergic to the hairs of the carpet beetle larvae.
Which is why after all your house keeping, insecticides and natural remedies you are still having issues. The hairs are a defense mechanism against predators, even a well armored wasp finds them irritating. You have to pull it out by hand. Unfortunately these nasty little larvae hairs are too small to see. These carpet beetle larvae hairs are often mistaken for bed bugs as they produce similar symptoms in the few people who are unlucky enough to be susceptible.
My problem with carpet beetles is just the run of the mill eating holes in my nice clothes that i like to wear. Now days insect identification is important not just for play. Good aye! I am having trouble with what i think are carpet beatles. These seem to be only in my front room, but after reading all of these comments, I am not at all sure. I look forward to hearing back from you soon. So sorry for your problems with these torturers. My hair is getting eaten and I feel them crawling in my hair and on legs on legs after I put clothing on.
I am red and itchy broken out. I have terrible ear aches and feel them in my ears. I have found carpet beetle larve under baseboard. I have had thick curly hair. I feel bald spot on my scalp and it also feels like there are areas that have been shaved with razor.
How can we get rid of these and not just from our hair? I was reading what you wrote to my fiance and we were just amazed that someone else had this mysterious pest problem.
I even went to the ER. The pest control was no help. The last time was almost 2 weeks ago. Now it seems we have created Super Bugs. If you find a solution please let me know. I just want my life back.
