The common Carpet Beetle
They can be easily differentiated from the Fur Beetle as these beetles are black with one spot on each wing case. Carpet beetles are generally quite small in size with the adult measuring 2-4mm in length. Despite their size, they’ve quickly become one of the biggest pests faced by the British textile industry – even surpassing the Clothes Moth.
As with woodworm, it’s not the beetles themselves which cause the damage; rather it is the larval stage that causes all the mayhem. Around April, May, and as late as June, adult beetles can be found searching for sites to lay their eggs. Nest options range from old birds’ nests to felt, fabric, or accumulated fluff in buildings.
