Carpet Beetle Treatment in City of London: what we see locally
Carpet beetle larvae feed on wool, fur, feathers and silk, causing holes in carpets, rugs and clothes. The adults often breed in pigeon nests, and the City's ledges, roofs and courtyards are home to plenty of pigeons.
We treat carpet beetles in flats across the Barbican and other City estates. Our treatment targets carpet edges, skirting boards and wardrobes.
We also see carpet beetles in City flats that have natural-fibre rugs, wool carpets or upholstered furniture, especially where the flat is empty during the week and floors aren't vacuumed often. The larvae, often called woolly bears, hide under furniture and along skirting boards and feed undisturbed.
Where we find carpet beetles in City of London
- Flats near pigeon nests: Old nests on ledges and roofs are a common source.
- Carpet edges: Larvae hide where the vacuum doesn't reach.
- Wardrobes: Wool clothing attracts larvae.
- Under furniture: Undisturbed carpet is a favourite spot.
