    Skin Irritation Caused by Carpet Beetle Larvae

    Carpet beetle larvae, often referred to as "woolly bears," not only damage fabrics but can also cause irritation to human skin. Their tiny, hair-like bristles, known as setae, can break off and become airborne, leading to allergic reactions in some people. This condition, known as Carpet Beetle Dermatitis, can result in symptoms such as:

    • Red, itchy rashes that resemble bites
    • Small, raised bumps
    • Irritation in areas of the skin that come into contact with infested items, such as bedding or clothing

    While the larvae do not bite, their bristles can cause discomfort, especially if they come into contact with sensitive skin. If you’re experiencing skin irritation and suspect a carpet beetle infestation, it’s important to seek professional treatment promptly to avoid further discomfort and prevent the infestation from spreading.

    Causes of Carpet Beetle Infestations

    Carpet beetles are attracted to natural materials such as wool, silk, leather, and feathers. Some common causes of carpet beetle infestations include:

    • Stored fabrics: Carpet beetles can enter your home through infested second-hand furniture, clothing, or carpets.
    • Food sources: Larvae feed on organic materials such as pet hair, dead insects, or food crumbs.
    • Outdoor entry: Adult carpet beetles often fly into homes through open windows or doors and lay their eggs in dark, undisturbed areas.

    Regular cleaning and inspection of areas where fabrics are stored can help reduce the risk of an infestation, but professional treatment is often required to fully eliminate them.

    Signs of Carpet Beetles

    Identifying an infestation early can prevent further damage. Some common signs of carpet beetles include:

    • Holes in fabrics: Larvae feed on natural fibres, leaving visible damage to carpets, clothing, and upholstery.
    • Shed skins: Carpet beetle larvae shed their skins as they grow, which may be found in the corners of rooms, under furniture, or in wardrobes.
    • Adult beetles near windows: Adult carpet beetles are often found on windowsills as they are attracted to light.

    If you notice any of these signs, contact Wallace Pest Control for a professional inspection and treatment.
