Old Basford's terraces and converted industrial buildings both have places where larvae can feed unseen. We look in the less obvious spots first.
The mix in Old Basford, older terraces beside former industrial premises, means we see very different jobs. A terraced house might have chewed carpet edges and a wardrobe of damaged knitwear. A converted workshop or storage building might have dust, old fabric offcuts, or bird remains in a roof void which have sustained larvae for years.
The first step is always to find the feeding site. We check carpets, skirting, cupboards and any accessible roof space, then treat the areas concerned and suggest changes to storage and cleaning. For commercial sites, our commercial division offers free surveys and a free written inspection report.
Larvae feed on dried animal remains, including old nests and dead insects, and can then move into carpets and stored fabrics. Finding and removing that source is part of the inspection.
Yes. Our commercial division offers free surveys and a free written inspection report, so you know what was found, where, and what treatment is proposed. The extent of treatment depends on how far the larvae have spread, and we explain that before starting.
Both damage natural fibres, but they are different insects with different larvae, so correct identification matters for treatment.

If ants have taken over a corner of the worktop, start by working out where they come from. In Old Basford's older buildings, the nest may be under the yard.
Read the advice →Pigeons keep returning to the same ledge because it suits them. Proofing changes the ledge instead of chasing the bird, which is why it lasts where scaring does not.
