We have a rented flat and the bloody kitchen has carpet!!

We have been getting beetles that we have identified as carpet beetles/larder beetles/dermestids, lots of different names. They started soon after we moved and I think they are in the carpet.

The kitchen is clean, food stored away and I'm hoovering twice a day, but every few days two or three of these are appearing. Would shampooing the carpet help? AIBU to ask for your suggestions to get rid?

What kind of idiot would put carpet in a kitchen?! Poor you. Don't know I'm afraid. Tried ant powder?
