Driving me mad just over last few weeks seen a few little brown and yellow bugs on window sill/ wall near window/ sofa in living room and in bedroom above. I googled them and says carpet beetle. Got my bed out yesterday and stripped hoovered took drawers out cleaned all skirting hoovered etc.
Got up this morning and 3 in living room Aaarrgghhhh!!!!!!
Saw a little bit of larvae (brown furry thing) in drawers under bed but not much tbh.
So my question is where will they be coming from??? How do I get rid???

Lavender repels fleas. Might work.

Citronella?

We bought an old Victorian house and they had it in past and you can see where the carpet had been eaten away, especially under a bit furniture in the basement. Saw the little things when we moved a bookcase, So i got a spray called .....carpet Beetle spray (clue is in the title😀) and gave it a good seeing to. Got it in a mainstream supermarket or maybe John Lewis....though Lakeland usually good for things like that too. Never came back.
