Carpet Moth Control in Bexley
Carpet moth larvae feed on wool and other natural fibres, and the damage shows up in the quiet parts of a room: under furniture, along the edges of a fitted carpet, beside skirting boards and in the dark corners nobody moves. Treatment is £180 for the first room and £60 for each additional room.
Signs of Carpet Moths
Threadbare patches in a wool carpet with the pile worn down to the backing, usually in a place that gets no foot traffic at all. Small silky cases or tubes the colour of the carpet. Fine sandy debris along a carpet edge. Small buff-coloured moths that run and flutter rather than flying properly, often near a skirting rather than a light.
It is the larva that eats, not the adult. By the time moths are flying, feeding has been going on for a while somewhere out of sight - which is why the first thing to do is pull the sofa out and lift the carpet edge along the wall behind it.

Where to Look Before We Arrive
Under the sofa and the beds. Along the gripper rod at the edge of the room, especially behind furniture that has not moved in years. Inside built-in wardrobes and the floor of an airing cupboard. Under a rug that lives on top of a carpet. Around the pipe holes where a radiator pipe comes through the floor.
Those places matter because treatment has to reach them. A room treated with the furniture left in place is a room where the worst-affected square metre never got touched. Clearing the floor and moving what can be moved is the single biggest thing you can do to make the visit work.

£180 for the first room and £60 for each additional room, so treating the adjoining rooms at the same time is usually the sensible call.

Wool carpets in a let are the ones that get damaged unnoticed between inspections. What we find will be described plainly.

We treat pests. We do not clean, repair or restore textiles, and we will not spray an antique or hand-knotted rug - that is a specialist rug cleaner.
