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???

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.

Lavender repels fleas. Might work.

Citronella?
