Carpet Beetle Treatment in Lewisham: 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.
Lewisham's Victorian houses, with old floorboards, wool rugs and pigeon nests in chimneys and eaves, are often affected. Our treatment targets carpet edges, floorboard gaps and wardrobes.
We see carpet beetles most in period homes in Brockley, Forest Hill and Lee, where wool carpets, old floorboards and nests in chimneys come together. Adult beetles are tiny and mottled and often appear on windowsills in spring.

- Floorboard gaps: Old floorboards collect dust and fibres.
