Why carpet beetles are a problem
Larvae quietly destroy rugs, suits, taxidermy, and heirloom textiles.
How Antex handles carpet beetles
Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.
Prevention tips
Dry-clean and seal seasonal clothing, vacuum along baseboards, and check cut flowers for hitchhikers.
