What kind of worms can live in carpet?

Answer by  mangosteen (272)

It was probably just a one-off thing, like a worm that crawled in from somewhere else. Alternatively, it could be flea larvae, or the larva from carpet beetles but those are not very worm-like... they are fuzzy little bug-like creatures.

I do know of Carpet worms that thrive in carpets, especially wool carpets. These worms are infested because of food dropped onto carpets or also could be if your pet poops on the carpet! Once the carpet is infested it is very hard to get rid of them as they start laying eggs and so there are loads of larve.

I found two worms, two different corners or the room, about two weeks apart. Small, about an eighth of an inch in diameter, and the first one about an inch long, the second one about half an inch long. What are they and how can I get rid of them?
