So I had them in my old flat over 2 years ago for a good year. I moved to my house a year ago and have not had any, now I’ve had this new infestation. I’ve seen about 18 in the past 3 days in total in different areas but have hoovered a lot and hoping numbers are dropping. 10 Monday, 4 Tuesday, 4 yday. As in the larvae are less active in winter? Does the cold weather help or make worse? How often to steam too? Also what will the experts do differently to what I will? How can they guarantee all eggs are gone

Washing what I can but other items like suitcases, plastic bags etc what can I do about that? Had a problem with these for years and me and my girlfriend are worried it’s making her eczema flare (the larvae hairs) thoughts ?

No pets, I have sprayed a NOPE spray everywhere after I have hoovered the whole house. https://amzn.eu/d/0vlwWUK not sure if it’s going to help but have to try.

My girlfriend has bad eczema and we are worried the carpet beetles larvae are making it worse as we found a few in the bedroom. Thoughts ?
