Carpet Beetle Treatment in Greenwich: 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 birds' nests, and the larvae then move into the house.
In Greenwich's Georgian and Victorian houses, we often trace carpet beetles to old pigeon nests in lofts, chimneys and parapets. Our treatment targets carpet edges, floorboard gaps, skirting and wardrobes.
Larvae hide in dark places under furniture and along skirting boards, so infestations often go unnoticed until damage is obvious.
