Common Signs of Beetle Activity
A beetle’s location, the affected material, and the evidence left behind can help distinguish one concern from another. An inspection is needed before drawing conclusions about the source or extent of the activity.
Signs to look for include:
- Carpet beetles: Larvae can damage wool, silk, fur, feathers, and other natural-fiber materials. Larvae and shed skins may appear in closets, under furniture, or along carpet edges.
- Pantry beetles: These beetles infest stored dry food products. Finding and removing the affected product is part of addressing the source.
- Powderpost beetles: These wood-boring insects can affect hardwood and structural wood, leaving small, round exit holes and powdery frass, the fine material produced as larvae tunnel through wood.
Shed skins near damaged fabrics can indicate carpet beetle activity. Fresh frass beneath wood may point to active wood-boring insects, but old exit holes alone don’t establish whether an infestation is current.

How Can We Help?
How We Inspect & Plan Residential Service
Our technician inspects the residential property inside and out. Depending on the findings, service may cover these interior and exterior areas:
- The building perimeter
- Windows and doors
- Baseboards
- Cabinets
- Spaces behind refrigerators
We use Integrated Pest Management, which combines inspection, correction of contributing conditions, and carefully selected treatment measures. Depending on the property, this can involve:
- Sealing entry points
- Removing nests and pest habitats
- Sanitizing problem areas
- Using natural or chemical pesticides as needed
We emphasize environmentally friendly treatment methods when planning service. Customers may also select monthly or quarterly follow-up visits based on their preferences. The appropriate next step depends on the inspection, not a single schedule applied to every property.
Matching the Evidence to Its Source
Activity in stored products calls for a different corrective approach than evidence involving natural-fiber fabrics or wood.
During the inspection, we look for pest habitats, possible entry points, affected materials, and visible evidence that can clarify the concern. We then discuss the service options relevant to the property without assuming that every hole, shed skin, or insect sighting has the same cause.
CL-100 Wood Infestation Reports in South Carolina
We offer real estate services and CL-100 Wood Infestation Reports. These reports document visible evidence of specified wood-destroying organisms and conditions, including:
- Powderpost beetles
- Old house borers
- Termites
- Wood decay fungi
- Excessive moisture below the first main floor
South Carolina classifies these beetles and old house borers as wood-destroying organisms that must be identified by name in an official wood infestation inspection. Most mortgage lenders require the report before approving a home loan, and it generally must be completed within 30 days of closing. Requirements can vary by lender and transaction.
