Carpet Beetle Treatment in Barnet: what we see locally
Carpet beetles are now one of London's most common textile pests. The larvae, often called woolly bears, feed on wool, fur, feathers and silk, while the adults lay eggs in birds' nests, lofts and dusty corners.
In Barnet, larger period homes with wool carpets and lofts are often affected, and an old bird's nest in the eaves is a common source. Our treatment targets carpet edges, gaps in floorboards, skirting boards and wardrobes.
Where we find carpet beetles in Barnet
- Lofts with old birds' nests: Nests are a common breeding site for carpet beetles.
- Carpet edges: Larvae hide along the edges where the vacuum doesn't reach.
- Floorboard gaps: Dust and fibres between floorboards feed larvae.
