Most Nashville homeowners probably don\u2019t think about carpet beetle infestation when they think about pest threats to their homes. However, while Tennessee carpet beetles might not be the worst thing we have to worry about, they\u2019re not a pest you can take lightly either. Far from being just a nuisance, carpet beetles can destroy your clothes, furnishings, and lots of other property. That\u2019s why keeping them away needs to be part of your Nashville pest control<\/a> plan.<\/p>\n There are several Tennessee carpet beetle species<\/a>, including the varied carpet beetle, the black carpet beetle, and the furniture carpet beetle. All these beetles have different markings, but they have more things in common than not.\u00a0<\/p>\n Adult carpet beetles are tiny (between 2 and 5 mm long), and they\u2019re often mistaken for bed bugs. However, adult carpet beetles can fly while bed bugs can\u2019t. Adults are also shaped more like ladybugs. They\u2019re round and shiny rather than being flat like a bed bug.\u00a0<\/p>\n Larvae are longer and narrower than adults \u2013 usually between 4 and 8 mm long. They\u2019re also typically yellow, orange, or brown. You might mistake them for tiny caterpillars because they have little spiny hairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n Carpet beetles can be tricky to find. They look a whole lot like many other beetles and other invasive pests. That means it can be tough for you to tell carpet beetles from other pests. The best way to distinguish a carpet beetle infestation from some other kind of infestation is to leave it to the experts.<\/p>\n Here at All-American Pest Control, we\u2019ve got the expert eyes to be able to distinguish carpet beetles from other pests right away. We can also help you get rid of carpet beetles \u2013 which is something you\u2019re going to want to do considering the damage they cause!<\/p>\n The signs of carpet beetles in your Nashville home can be subtle because these beetles don\u2019t exactly work to make themselves visible. But once they start doing damage to your property, you\u2019ll know you\u2019ve got them!<\/p>\n Carpet beetle larvae feed on organic materials. That means they\u2019ll eat anything primarily based on plant or animal materials. Fur, silk, wool, feathers, cotton, linen, and just about everything else is vulnerable to a carpet beetle infestation. It\u2019s common for people to think the damage to their clothes, furniture, and other items is caused by moth larvae. However, if you see damage you think is moth damage and cannot find any adult moths in your home, there\u2019s a good chance you have carpet beetles.\u00a0<\/p>\n Preventing carpet beetles isn\u2019t always easy, but there are some things you can do:<\/strong><\/p>\n If you want to get rid of carpet beetles, you will likely need professional help.<\/a> Carpet beetles in your Nashville home are hard to treat once they\u2019re inside because the larvae are tough to locate.
