Larger homes mean more rooms, more storage and more places for larvae to go unnoticed. In Wollaton we search thoroughly before deciding what needs treating.
Wollaton's inter-war semis and larger detached homes tend to have more space to fill: guest rooms used a few times a year, lofts packed with boxes, and good rugs and curtains. That is ideal ground for larvae, because a room left alone for months gives them time to settle. Mature gardens and trees nearby may also mean birds nesting in eaves or roof spaces.
We inspect the rooms that are used least first, since the problem often starts there, then work back through the house. Where larvae are found we treat carpets, edges and furnishings. We also check roof spaces where accessible, because remains from old nests can be the root cause.
Larvae favour places where nothing is disturbed, and a rarely used room offers weeks of peace. Opening and vacuuming such rooms regularly is one of the simplest ways to reduce the risk.
They can. Old nests hold feathers and debris that larvae feed on, and from there they may reach carpets and stored textiles. If a nest is involved, removing the source has to be done lawfully, as wild birds are protected.
Both damage natural fibres, but they are different insects with different larvae, so correct identification matters for treatment.

Large gardens and mature trees are lovely, but they bring wildlife closer to the house. This checklist is aimed at the roofs, sheds and gardens of leafy-suburb homes.
Read the advice →The vet treatment worked on the dog, yet the bites continued. In a carpeted semi, most of the flea population is not on the animal at all but in the house.
