Mature trees, loft storage and detached houses with several spare rooms: Bramcote homes have what carpet beetle larvae look for. We search the quiet places.
Bramcote's leafy streets include many detached and semi-detached homes built between the wars and after. Roomy lofts, built-in wardrobes and carpets that run wall to wall are common. Birds are likely to nest in the eaves of homes with mature trees nearby, and old nests are a known food source for larvae that then drift into the rooms below.
We look at both the rooms and the roof space where accessible. Treatment is aimed at the places where larvae are actually found, not simply sprayed around. If the cause is a nest, remember that wild birds are protected, so any removal has to be done lawfully and usually outside the nesting season.
Only lawfully. Wild birds and their active nests are protected, so check the rules or ask first. Old, unused nests are different, but it is sensible to take advice before disturbing anything in a roof space. It is easy to get wrong without an inspection.
Not usually. We treat where larvae and damage are found, such as carpet edges, furnishings and storage, plus any source in the roof space. The extent depends on what the inspection finds.
Both damage natural fibres, but they are different insects with different larvae, so correct identification matters for treatment.
