carpet beetles

[ForumMonkey]

So we've just made the delightful discovery of carpet beetles.

Does anyone have any experience with having and ridding themselves of these pests? Is it sufficient to hoover daily for a couple of weeks or do we need to get in the heavy guns?

We had them too. We ripped out all of the old carpets. They come from under the floorboards!

We had the house chemically treated last year, at the same time as the carpet/clothes moths - the chemicals can get under the floorboards. It seems to have worked, although we also laid new synthetic carpet upstairs which i don't think they will enjoy so much. We used P&J Pest Control (I think that's what they're called!)
