Pest control: carpet beetles
Summary
Carpet Beetles are also known as “Woolly Bears”, and the treatment is the same for moth larvae. We can treat Carpet Beetles and larvae problems in both domestic and commercial premises, for a fee (see the ‘Flies/Ants/Carpet Beetles’ section on our Environmental services charges for current prices).
All treatments are subject to a free survey. To request a visit from a Pest Control Officer, follow the instructions below.
