A neat semi in Carlton can still harbour carpet beetle larvae behind the wardrobe or under the spare-room bed. We track them down and treat what they are living in.
Carlton is a suburb of inter-war and post-war semi-detached homes in Gedling borough, with fitted carpets upstairs and down. A typical call starts with a small hole or bald patch that has been there a while. The householder suspects moths, but the shed skins and bristly larvae tell a different story.
We confirm what the insect is, then treat edges and furnishings where it lives. Before leaving, we talk through simple changes: moving furniture occasionally to vacuum behind it, laundering woollens before storing them, and keeping the loft free of old bird or insect debris. None of this is difficult, and it makes recurrence less likely.
A few times a year is a sensible habit, especially for beds and wardrobes. Larvae thrive where nothing is disturbed, so regular cleaning behind and underneath furniture helps. That is worth checking before anything else.
It depends on how widespread the larvae are. Many cases are handled in one visit, but we follow up where the infestation needs it and will tell you honestly if we expect to return.
Both damage natural fibres, but they are different insects with different larvae, so correct identification matters for treatment.
