Carpet Moth Control in Great Shelford

Signs You May Need Carpet Moth & Carpet Beetle Control in Great Shelford

• Threadbare or irregular bare patches in carpets
• Small clean holes in wool clothing, blankets or rugs
• Larvae, silken cases or webbing around carpet edges
• Damage beneath furniture and along skirting boards
• Small moths keeping low in a room, or small mottled beetles at windows

The Wardrobe Half of the Problem

A great many carpet moth jobs are really two jobs. The floor is treated, the activity drops, and then it comes back — because the stored clothing was never dealt with.

Where to look

• Wool and cashmere knitwear, particularly anything stored over summer
• Suits and coats at the back of a wardrobe, undisturbed for months
• Blankets and throws in a chest or an ottoman
• Under-bed storage boxes and vacuum bags that were not fully sealed
• The wardrobe floor and corners, where debris and shed skins collect
• Loft storage — often the worst of the lot, because nobody goes up for a year

What to do about it

• Wash or dry-clean before storing, always
• Store clean items sealed, not clean and open on a shelf
• A hot wash deals with eggs and larvae; for anything that cannot take one, a spell in a freezer is an alternative
• Take everything out and check the empty wardrobe — the corners and the floor tell you more than the clothes do
• Do not just move the clothes to another room. That relocates the problem

Where clothing is involved as well as carpet, tell us when you book. It is a second front rather than a bigger version of the same job, and it changes what preparation we ask you to do.

Why Great Shelford Property Owners Call a Professional

Moth papers in a wardrobe monitor; they do not treat. Clothing that is already infested needs washing or freezing, and the wardrobe itself needs dealing with — neither of which a hanging product does.
