Carpet Beetle Treatment in Waltham Forest: what we see locally
Carpet beetle larvae feed on wool, fur, feathers and silk. The adults lay eggs in birds' nests and dusty corners.
Waltham Forest's Victorian terraces, with old floorboards and pigeon nests in eaves and chimneys, are often affected.
Adult carpet beetles are tiny, round and mottled and are often seen on windowsills in spring. Finding them indoors usually means larvae are feeding somewhere under a bed, sofa or rug, often near the edge of a bedroom carpet.
