How to get rid of fabric beetle

Hygiene plays a vital role to control fabric beetle infestation. A simple act of vacuuming plays an important role in removing fabric beetle cast skins and eggs. This helps to break the natural lifecycle and reduce their population in your property.

Also, regularly washed fabric items or carefully stored clothes will also help to keep your items safe from damage.

• Vacuuming — ensure to vacuum underneath the furniture and carpet edges next to skirting boards. It is also important to immediately discard the contents of your vacuum cleaner outside of your property.
• Storing clothes — if intend to store clothings for a long time, ensure all items have been washed and are clean. Wrap items in plastic to keep them safe from fabric beetle.
