Carpet beetle control
in Newcastle
Bare patches appearing in the carpet or holes in woollens? Carpet beetle larvae are the culprit — we treat the edges, wardrobes and subfloor to stop the damage.
Stop carpet beetles in their tracks
Quick answer: Carpet beetle control in Newcastle with Kapow starts at a fixed $229 for a standard Newcastle home and can be booked online in about 60 seconds.
Carpet beetle larvae feed on natural fibres — wool carpet and rugs, clothing, furs and stored fabrics — and are often mistaken for clothes moths. They tuck into carpet edges, under furniture, in wardrobes and along skirting, doing slow, spreading damage.
We treat the harbourage zones where larvae feed and develop, knocking them down and leaving protection so your carpets and clothing stop being on the menu.

How do I tell carpet beetles from moths?
Both damage natural fibres, but carpet beetle larvae are bristly and leave shed skins, while moths leave webbing. We'll confirm on inspection and treat accordingly.
Is the treatment safe for pets and kids?
Yes — registered, low-tox products applied to edges and harbourage zones, with a short re-entry time we'll explain.
How long until they're gone?
Numbers drop within a week or two; vacuuming and clearing affected items alongside the treatment speeds things up.
How do I prevent them?
Regular vacuuming (especially edges and under furniture), airtight storage of woollens, and the prevention tips we provide.
How much does it cost?
Carpet beetle treatment starts at a fixed $229 for a standard home, confirmed before you book.
