Hair treatment: In a shampoo bottle, mix apple cider vinegar with shampoo about 2 to 1 and shake well. When in the shower, put this on your upper body and ears first so they can’t escape. Then put it in your hair and rub it into your scalp well. Put some in your eyebrows too, but be very careful not to let it drip into your eyes because it really hurts. Get a disposable shower cap and put one on. I leave it on for at least 10 minutes. I listen to music, like maybe 5 songs to sort of time it being on me and this gives me time to shave my legs and wash my lower body while waiting. Remove the shower cap and rinse your hair well leaning back so it doesn’t get into your eyes. I do this about every 3 days and use regular shampoo on the other days. I also use a good conditioner after the treatment. Forgot to say, keep a clean wash cloth nearby to wipe your eyes in case it tries to drip down. They’re in my dog’s fur too so I use food grade diatomaceous earth after carefully doing the same treatment on them about once a week or so. My dogs are small and seem to tolerate this well so far. Wash sheets and dog beds in hot water often. Keep dogs clipped short. Good luck! These things are nasty! They’ll chew your hair and it falls out, Yuck!

Can they get in my nose and mouth if I’m an open mouth sleeper?? I’m 71 and trying to get rid of carpet beetles. This is a nightmare.

Hi, if I know some big is eating my clothes, but I have never seen these bugs, how do I find out what kind of bug it is?

Please help me! I’ve found about six I am pretty sure there carpet beetles on my bed, on my bedroom curtain and on my windowsill which are both right beside my bed against the wall in the last few days! Last night I was sitting on my leather couch in the living room and was wearing a t-shirt and found one on my arm! I’am freaking out they must be everywhere! I live in a very old building and they could be in the walls! In my bathroom suddenly for the last couple of weeks I noticed these little long skinny really slow moving sort of ant type looking bugs! Never had that before either. I’ve never had any bug in my house before other than the odd spider. I have a cat so I need something that is safe to use around my cat to kill them! I need something to instantly kill them now! I have been itchy all over my body and my whole scalp on my head is so unbearably itchy I have not been sleeping much! Do you know what I can use to kill any large on my scalp to help stop the itching too? Please help me Thank You So Much! 🙏

I have found quiet a few of what I think are carpet beetles, I have been spraying the areas I find them with white distilled vinegar, (carpets, floors, window ledges, under the bath, clothes etc) we had noticed them in our en suit and bathroom, I am now finding some dead on the floor and carpet but still have some active one (found one on my sons bedroom window) does this mean the vinegar is working or what else can I do I want to get rid of them, but worried about using chemicals as I have children and pets and want to do the natural way to get rid of them and stop them coming back. Many thanks

Hi there,
So sorry to hear this happened to you, just wondering what eventually worked and colour were the eggs.

I have the same problem and I’m finding red/black eggs in my ear!! I have moved into a hotel with my kids because I can’t do it anymore!

Moving into a new house and don’t want to take the pro me with us.

Some good tips here but just a couple of suggestions:
1. The article is way too long – you could have summarised many of the points as I found some of the statements were repeated multiple times throughout (article filler perhaps?).
2. A little more attention to the grammar and sentence formation. A quick spell check prior to posting an article is also helpful as it gives it a more professional feel.

Other than that a very well thought out and researched article.

I’m still at the same problem for the last two weeks now and my people think that I’m crazy but what I’m using is vinegar and hydrogen peroxide don’t do the alcohol because yes I’ll call kills them but not as good as the vinegar and hydrogen peroxide it’s those two together and just spray one section of your carpet and watch it foam up when you foams up like that you’ll see all the black spots in your carpet that you probably been missing once you see that then you’ll really know how much of them that you really have and you’ll know that it’s actually working because once you spray it on a carpet they all come up the little eggs and larvae

In reply to Kay Hedges. I think those are bedbugs not beetles you should get an exterminator to check
