How They Got In

Carpet moths

Usually already present, or carried in on textiles — second-hand furniture, a rug, a bag of clothing, an inherited blanket. They are poor fliers and do not travel far under their own steam.

Carpet beetles — and here is the difference

These fly, and they come from outside. The Natural History Museum notes that adults visit flowers to feed on pollen and nectar, and that in houses they are often found on windowsills trying to get back out.

So an open window on a warm day is a route in, which explains why carpet beetles turn up in properties with no history of a problem and no second-hand textiles at all.

The others

• Second-hand rugs, carpets and upholstered furniture
• Stored textiles brought out of a loft or inherited
• Accumulated dead insects in a loft, a window recess or an unused room — a food supply in their own right
• An adjoining property, in a flat or a terrace

Knowing the route matters because it decides whether the problem recurs. Treating a carpet while a nest in the eaves keeps restocking it is a cycle rather than a solution.

Why March Property Owners Call a Professional
