Carpet Beetle Treatment in Camden: what we see locally
Carpet beetles are one of central London's most common textile pests. The larvae feed on wool, fur, feathers and silk, and the adults lay eggs in birds' nests and dusty corners.
Camden's period houses, with their wool carpets, rugs and old floorboards, are often affected. Pigeon nests on roofs and in chimneys can be a source. We treat carpet edges, floorboard gaps and wardrobes.
Carpet beetles are particularly common in the large period homes of Hampstead, Belsize Park and Bloomsbury, where wool carpets, Persian rugs, upholstered antiques and old floorboards give the larvae a steady food supply. They're often found hiding under heavy furniture, along skirting boards and inside drawers.
Where we find carpet beetles in Camden
- Floorboard gaps: Old floorboards in Victorian and Georgian houses collect fibres and dust.
- Carpet edges: Larvae hide where the vacuum doesn't reach.
- Wardrobes: Wool clothing attracts larvae.
- Chimneys and roofs with pigeon nests: Old nests can be a source.
Our carpet beetle treatment service covers the whole of Camden, including Belsize Park, Bloomsbury, Camden Town, Gospel Oak, Hampstead, Holborn, Kentish Town, King's Cross, Primrose Hill, Somers Town, Swiss Cottage and West Hampstead, with same-day or next-day visits.
