Frequently Asked Questions
How do I recognise carpet beetles and their damage?
Recognising a carpet beetle infestation early is key to preventing significant damage to your belongings. Here’s what to look for:
- Spot the Adult Beetles:
Adult carpet beetles are small (2-4mm), oval-shaped insects. The most common types in Melbourne homes are:
- Varied Carpet Beetle: These have a distinctive pattern of white, yellow, and brown scales, giving them a mottled appearance.
- Black Carpet Beetle: These are solid black or dark brown and are slightly larger and more elongated.
Adults are often found on window sills, as they are attracted to light.
- Identify the Larvae (The Real Culprits):
The larvaecause all the damage, not the adults. They are:
- Shape: Elongated, fuzzy, and caterpillar-like.
- Colour: Typically a light brown or tan, with stiff, bristly hairs.
- Behaviour: They tend to avoid light and hide in dark, undisturbed areas.
- Look for the Tell-Tale Damage:
Carpet beetle larvae feed on natural fibres. Signs of damage include:
- Bare Patches in woollen carpets, rugs, or blankets.
- Holes in clothing, silk, or upholstery made from animal-based fabrics (wool, fur, feathers).
- Damage to stored products like grains or pet food.
- Find Their Shed Skins:
As they grow, larvae molt. Finding these tiny, papery shed skins in your cupboards, along skirting boards, or in closets is a major red flag.
Suspect a Carpet Beetle Infestation? Don’t Let Them Ruin Your Valuables!
If you’ve spotted any of these signs, it’s time for professional help. At TIM Pest Control Melbourne, our experts can accurately identify the pest and implement a targeted carpet beetle treatment to eliminate the infestation at its source.

Will beetles go away on their own during the Melbourne winter?
This is a common misconception. While the activity of some outdoor beetles decreases in colder weather, beetles do not simply “go away” in winter—they often move indoors to survive, making your infestation more noticeable and problematic.
Here’s a breakdown of what happens to different beetles in winter:
- Outdoor Beetles (e.g., Elm Leaf, African Black): Many adult beetles die off, but their eggs and larvae survive safely hidden in the soil, under tree bark, or in protected crevices, ready to emerge in spring.
- Indoor/Fabric Beetles (e.g., Carpet Beetles, Furniture Beetles): These pests are a year-round problem. Your warm home provides the perfect shelter for them to remain active all winter, continuously feeding on your woollens, carpets, and furniture.
- Pantry Beetles (e.g., Drugstore, Cigarette Beetles): Your pantry, with its stable, warm temperature and abundant food supply, is an ideal environment for these beetles to thrive, completely unaffected by the winter cold.
In fact, winter is when you might first discover an indoor beetle infestation as they become more concentrated inside your home.
Don’t Rely on the Cold to Solve Your Beetle Problem
Waiting for winter to drive beetles away is a risky strategy that can lead to increased property damage and a larger, harder-to-control population by spring.
Proactive beetle control is the most effective solution. A professional treatment from TIM Pest Control will eliminate the existing infestation—including hidden eggs and larvae—and help prevent future invasions.

What are the best ways to prevent a pest infestation in my Melbourne home?
Preventing a pest infestation is all about making your property less attractive and accessible to pests like beetles, mites, rodents, and spiders. While DIY steps are a great first defence, they are most effective when paired with regular professional pest inspections.
Here is a comprehensive checklist to help you keep infestations at bay:
- Eliminate Food Sources:
- Store Food Securely: Keep pantry items like flour, grains, and pet food in airtight glass or hard plastic containers.
- Clean Up Promptly: Wipe down counters, sweep floors, and avoid leaving dirty dishes out overnight.
- Manage Waste: Use bins with tight-fitting lids and take rubbish out regularly.
- Cut Off Water Access:
- Fix Leaks: Repair dripping taps and leaking pipes under sinks, as many pests are attracted to moisture.
- Reduce Humidity: Use dehumidifiers in damp areas like basements and ensure your bathroom and kitchen are well-ventilated.
- Seal Entry Points:
- Inspect and Seal: Check the exterior of your home for cracks in the foundation, gaps around windows/doors, and holes where utilities enter. Seal them with caulk, steel wool, or weather stripping.
- Install Screens: Ensure window and door screens are intact and fit snugly without tears.
- Declutter and Eliminate Hiding Spots:
- Reduce Clutter: Piles of newspaper, cardboard boxes, and general clutter provide ideal nesting sites for pests.
- Maintain the Garden: Keep vegetation, mulch, and firewood stored away from your home’s exterior walls.
- Vacuum Regularly: Frequent vacuuming, especially in carpeted areas and under furniture, removes insects, eggs, and food debris.
- Be Vigilant with Storage:
- Inspect Second-Hand Items: Carefully check used furniture, boxes, or clothing for signs of pests before bringing them inside.
- Store Items Properly: Keep seasonal clothing and blankets in sealed plastic bins instead of cardboard boxes.
When DIY Prevention Isn’t Enough
Even the most diligent homeowner can experience an infestation. Pests are experts at finding hidden ways inside, and a single undetected entry point can lead to a major problem.
For true, long-term peace of mind, professional preventative pest control is the most effective strategy. At TIM Pest Control Melbourne, we don’t just react to infestations; we stop them before they start.

- Annual or Bi-Annual Pest Inspections: Our experts spot early warning signs you might miss.
