Carpet Beetle Treatment in Hammersmith and Fulham: 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 larvae move into carpets and wardrobes.
The borough's Victorian houses, with old floorboards, wool rugs and pigeon nests on roofs, are often affected. Our treatment targets carpet edges, floorboard gaps and wardrobes.
Larvae hide under furniture and along skirting, so infestations often go unnoticed.
Adult carpet beetles are tiny, round and mottled, and are often seen on windowsills in spring as they try to get outside to feed on pollen. If you're finding them indoors, larvae are usually feeding somewhere under a bed, sofa, rug or along a skirting board.
