London pest control specialistsYOUR SERVICE · EXPLAINED
Small beetles at a window and damage beneath furniture may be connected, but the life stage causing textile damage is usually the larva. Our carpet beetle service focuses on locating feeding areas in wool carpets, stored clothing and neglected edges. A close photograph of the insect or shed larval skin is more informative than a hole in fabric by itself.
London homes often contain several possible food sources, including lint, pet hair and natural-fibre items that remain undisturbed. We inspect the pattern of damage and discuss cleaning, careful storage and any targeted treatment that is appropriate. Applying products over an entire room without tracing the source may leave the underlying problem untouched.
Before a visit, note where insects appear and keep damaged items separate without carrying them through the house uncovered. Vacuum inaccessible edges when instructed, dispose of vacuum contents responsibly and check stored woollens. The aim is to protect belongings while addressing the conditions that support larvae, not simply remove adult beetles seen near daylight.

Discuss your property →No. Carpet beetles are associated with larval feeding on susceptible materials; bed bugs feed on blood.
Adult beetles may be attracted to light. Inspecting only the window can miss larval feeding sites elsewhere.
