Help! Does anyone know how to get rid of these disgusting bugs please?! These darn bugs live in carpets, they are very small and mainly in homes, they start as larvae, then turn into a beetle and fly away. In the meantime, I hate seeing them around my house. It's not tons we see, but maybe 2-5 per week, but that tells me they are there and others we don't see. The pest control said that lots of homes have these, and though they are not a danger at all, can only be annoying, all there is to do is thorough vaccumming, and I do do that, but would love to rid these bugs. I couldn't spray my house because I fear those chemicals and my children in the house. I have seen them from time to time in the living room, but we are removing the carpet and getting hard wood flooring, still, the bedrooms have carpet and I don't want to get rid of the carpet in the rooms. I'm constantly cleaning the house and keeping neat and tidy, I don't know how or why these bugs are there! Any ideas please?

Since you don't want to use any chemicals you rule out most solutions. I would steam clean the carpets about once a week for 3 or 4 times. They are mating in your carpet and laying eggs before they fly away. The steam and suction should kill a percentage each time you clean. I would think 3 or 4 times would be sufficient to rid the carpets ao all eggs, larvae, pupa, and adults.

If you want to throw in a rug shampoo somewhere in there most surfactants like rug shampoo will coat the adults and they will suffocate. Just another possible option to consider. Good luck.

you're able to call the owner. he will in all probability inform you to do away with your pets, and that's no longer an decision. The pets may be the rationalization you have each and all the creepy crawlers. Take your pets to the vet/puppy keep to do away with the fleas. The flies will bypass once you get a professional to come again in and fumigate the premises. First eliminate all pets, then have the carpet wiped sparkling, after the carpet is wiped sparkling have the fumigation carried out. Take the pets (apart from the fish) to the vet or puppy keep to do away with the fleas. do no longer carry the pets into the domicile till you have the domicile wiped sparkling and fumigated. stable success
