Carpet Beetle Treatment in Newham: 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.
Newham's Victorian terraces, with pigeon nests in eaves and chimneys, are often affected. Our treatment targets carpet edges, floorboard gaps and wardrobes.
Adult carpet beetles are tiny, round and mottled and are often seen on windowsills in spring. Finding them indoors usually means larvae are feeding under a bed, sofa or rug, or along a skirting board.

- Chimneys and eaves with nests: Old nests are a common source.
