Carpet Beetles Pest Control Sydney

The Sydney Carpet beetle is a native member of a group of beetles that frequently invade homes and eat our very expensive carpets and rugs. Adults are from two to three millimetres in length and are found throughout Sydney in urban areas, forests and woodlands.

Adult carpet beetles eat flowers and live outdoors. The larvae feed on natural fibres and carpets, and treating interiors for the beetles is often a yearly procedure because they quickly re-infest buildings.

The larvae are small hairy grubs with hairs that can break off when handled and cause allergic reactions in some people. The larvae feed on spider webs, dried animal skins, and other protein-rich material when not eating household goods. As such, they can be a bad pest in museums, where they damage animal exhibits.

Larvae mature into adults in one to three years, depending on the environment. They hatch from eggs in Spring and early Summer, often in bird nests or fabrics. The larvae feed on natural fibres until going into a dormancy period before their pupal stage as they are maturing into adults. Adults emerge from early to late Summer and feed on the pollen of flowering plants. Mating occurs during this time, and the breeding cycle begins again.

Natural predators of the carpet beetle larvae include a parasitic wasp. Being stung by the wasp will paralyse the beetle in about forty seconds. The wasp will lay its eggs on the beetle, and the beetle larvae become a food source for the hatched baby wasps.

Adult beetles commonly lay eggs in closets, air conditioning ducts and under furniture. The larvae hide and feed on organic material and damage carpets, blankets, furs, clothing and furniture. Infestations can be prevented by airing clothing outside, placing naphthalene balls in closets, and doing regular vacuum cleaning. Evidence that your home is infested includes obvious damage to household items, finding moulted skins in dark areas, and the presence of many adult beetles near windows. They can be deterred or killed with commercial insecticides, pheromone and scent traps, freezing, and oxygen deprivation.
