Carpet Beetle Treatment in Hackney: what we see locally
Carpet beetle larvae feed on wool, fur, feathers and silk. The adults lay eggs in birds' nests and dusty corners, and the larvae move into carpets and wardrobes.
Hackney's Victorian houses, with old floorboards, wool rugs and pigeon nests on roofs and chimneys, are often affected. Our treatment targets carpet edges, floorboard gaps and wardrobes.
Vintage rugs and furniture can also bring carpet beetles into the home.
Adult carpet beetles are small, round and mottled, and are often spotted on windowsills in spring as they try to reach flowers outside. Seeing them indoors is a good sign larvae are feeding somewhere in the house, usually under a bed, sofa or rug.
