How can I get rid of these tiny brown worms in my carpet?

Answer by  Camelia (662)

You can first wash it, preferably take it to a car wash, as they use a very powerful water jet that eliminates everything from the fibers, then you should use a carpet detergent like Bio Carpet. If you prefer to use a home-made solution, you can use instead of Bio Carpet a mix of hot water and vinegar.

those tiny brown worms are most likely maggots of some type and you need to get a fogging bug bomb that says it will kill maggots.

Use raid and spray around the carpet area. This is usually due to lack of cleaning in the house. Always vacuum about twice a week and make sure you don't wear shoes in your house. If you do, you are bringing in dirt and insects from the outside and that is causing the problem.

That is very simple, take/put your carpet outside in the hot sun. The worms will leave your carpet in an hour. If you cant' move your carpet, then simply put some insect killing powder on it. If its wash-able, then wash it. I hope this helped.

Tiny brown worms in carpeting are usually flea larvae. First, do a thorough vacuuming of the entire carpet. You must throw the vacuum bag out immediately or the fleas will be back . After vacuuming, spray with a flea killer to get any remaining adults, larvae and eggs.

Wow, it sounds like a deep case of termites. I think you should just spray raid on your carpet to kill the bugs. Then you can naturally clean your carpet later.
