Carpet Beetle Treatment in Merton: what we see locally
Carpet beetle larvae feed on wool, fur, feathers and silk, causing small, irregular holes in carpets, rugs and clothes. The adults lay eggs in birds' nests and dusty corners.
In Merton, we often trace carpet beetles to old pigeon or sparrow nests under the tiles of interwar semis or in the lofts of Victorian houses in Wimbledon and South Wimbledon. Our treatment targets carpet edges, floorboards, skirting and wardrobes.
Larvae hide under furniture and along skirting boards, so infestations often go unnoticed until damage appears.
Where we find carpet beetles in Merton
- Lofts with old nests: Birds' nests are a common breeding site.
- Carpet edges and skirting: Larvae hide where vacuums miss.
- Floorboard gaps in Victorian houses: Old floorboards collect dust and fibres.
