Carpet Beetle Treatment in Croydon: what we see locally
Carpet beetle larvae feed on wool, fur, feathers and silk, causing holes in carpets, rugs and clothes. Adults often breed in birds' nests in lofts and eaves.
We often trace carpet beetles to old nests in the lofts of Croydon's Victorian and interwar houses. Our treatment targets carpet edges, floorboards, skirting and wardrobes.
Carpet beetle larvae, often called woolly bears, hide under furniture, along skirting boards and in the gaps between floorboards, where they feed undisturbed. In Croydon, we see infestations in everything from Victorian terraces in Addiscombe to large detached homes in Purley, often first noticed as small, irregular holes near the edge of a bedroom carpet.
