Carpet Beetle Treatment in Richmond upon Thames: what we see locally
Carpet beetle larvae feed on wool, fur, feathers and silk. The adults lay eggs in birds' nests, chimneys and dusty corners.
Richmond's period homes, with wool carpets, antique rugs, old floorboards and birds' nests in chimneys and eaves, are often affected. Our treatment targets carpet edges, floorboard gaps, skirting 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 furniture, in a rug or between floorboards.
