Frequently Asked Questions
How do pantry beetles get into sealed food?
Pantry beetle infestations often begin at food processing facilities or stores. Tiny larvae can penetrate surprisingly small gaps in packaging. Always inspect groceries and transfer dry goods to airtight containers immediately after purchase.
Are carpet beetles eating my clothes?
Carpet beetle larvae feed on natural fibers including wool, silk, leather, and feathers. They also consume pet hair, dead insects, and lint. Adults feed on pollen and don't damage fabrics. Regular cleaning and proper storage prevents damage.
Why do Arlington homes have more pantry/carpet beetles problems?
Arlington's proximity to water creates humidity that pantry/carpet beetles thrive in. We address both the immediate infestation and the underlying moisture conditions that attract these pests.
