The best carpet beetle treatment is to hire a professional exterminator

An infestation of carpet beetles may require the help of a pest control service. When carpet beetles infest your home, they can cause considerable damage in a short time.

Silk, leather, fur, cotton
Book bindings, canvas paintings
Upholstered items, natural carpeting, bedding, clothing
Synthetic rugs that have been affected by food/liquid spillages or grease stains
