To get rid of carpet beetles, you can follow these steps:

  1. Thoroughly vacuum the affected areas, including carpets, rugs, upholstery, and curtains, to remove any larvae, eggs, and adult beetles.
  2. Wash all affected clothing, bedding, and fabrics in hot water to kill any remaining beetles and their eggs.
  3. Use a steam cleaner on carpets and furniture to kill carpet beetle larvae and eggs.
  4. Seal any cracks or openings in walls, floors, and windows to prevent carpet beetles from entering your home.
  5. Use insecticide sprays or dusts labeled for carpet beetles on infested areas as a last resort, following the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Consistent cleaning and maintenance can help prevent future carpet beetle infestations.
