Carpet Beetle Treatment in Islington: 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.
Islington's Georgian and 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.
We see carpet beetles most in the large period homes of Canonbury, Barnsbury and Highbury, where wool carpets, Persian rugs, old floorboards and pigeon nests on roofs all come together. Larvae often go unnoticed under heavy furniture and along skirting boards until damage is obvious.
Where we find carpet beetles in Islington
- Floorboard gaps: Old boards collect fibres.
