Carpet Beetle Control Manchester

Carpet Beetle Control

Carpet beetles are pests of animal products and sometimes food products of plant origin, this means they can be found wherever these supplies are handled or stored.

Carpet beetles are now one of the most troublesome pests of textiles, partly due to the use of central heating ensuring uniform temperature for them to thrive, and also the increase in wall-to-wall carpet as this allows the beetles to breed undisturbed.

Dry and warm conditions in heated homes provide the perfect environment for carpet beetles to develop, with the larvae attacking the carpet fibres.

The carpet beetle thrives in environments where they remain undisturbed, for example, inside wardrobes, underneath carpets and around skirting boards.

Significance of Carpet Beetles

Carpet beetle larvae can cause significant damage to any keratin-containing products such as fur, wool, silk, leather and dried animal remains. Some plant-based foods such as, cereal and fibres may also be attacked.

Damage caused by carpet beetles can be determined by clean irregular holes in clothes, usually around the seams, and bald patches on carpets which are usually found beneath furniture where it is dark and they go undisturbed.
