Just avoid laying, sitting or walking on them...then you should be OK.

No need to worry, if you're a carpet beetle or pseudoscorpion, carpets have thousands of little paths through the middle!

I have decided that I have purchased nice, utterly bug-free (and bug repellant) carpets and therefore no longer need to think about it.

There.

I feel much better now.

Much.

Occasional use of insect spray "bombs" (mini aerosol cans), quarterly bug treatments (Orkin or similar), and annual steam cleaning should keep your carpet bug free and your inner Nutek calm and relaxed.

"carpet beetles are attracted to you when you are sleeping because of the CO2 gas you exhale"
