Carpet Beetles

Carpet beetles are small, oval-shaped insects that are known for damaging carpets, fabrics, and other household items made from natural fibers like wool, silk, and feathers. The larvae, which are the destructive stage of the beetle’s life cycle, feed on these materials, leaving behind holes, shed skins, and other signs of damage. Carpet beetles are often found in hidden areas like attics, closets, or under furniture, where they can go unnoticed until significant damage is done. Adult carpet beetles are attracted to flowers and can enter homes through open windows or doors. To prevent infestations, it's important to regularly clean your home, vacuum thoroughly, and store fabrics properly.
