Carpet Beetle Treatment in Enfield: what we see locally
Carpet beetle larvae feed on wool, fur, feathers and silk, causing small, irregular holes in carpets, rugs and clothes. The adults breed in birds' nests and dusty corners, and the larvae then move into the house.
In Enfield, we often trace carpet beetles to old pigeon or sparrow nests in the lofts and eaves of interwar semis in Southgate, Palmers Green and Bush Hill Park. Our treatment targets carpet edges, floorboards, skirting and wardrobes.
Larvae hide under furniture and along skirting boards, so infestations often go unnoticed for months.
Adult carpet beetles are small, round and mottled, and are often seen on windowsills in spring as they try to get outside to feed on pollen. Spotting them indoors is a good sign there are larvae somewhere in the house.
