Where Carpet Moths Settle in Hillingdon
Quiet rooms in Northwood's larger semis
Northwood's bigger houses often have a guest room or formal sitting room that sees little daily use, and original wool carpet in a room like that can carry moth damage for months before anyone notices the bare patches building up.
Older carpets in Ruislip's Metro-land houses
Many of Ruislip's 1930s semis have kept original or long-fitted wool carpet in bedrooms and hallways, and rugs left under furniture that rarely gets moved give the larvae the same undisturbed conditions.
Signs to Look For
- Irregular bare patches in wool carpets, rugs or upholstery, often under furniture
- Small cream larvae or silken tubes in carpet fibres or skirting edges
- Adult moths — small and golden-brown — seen low to the ground rather than near lights
- Damage concentrated in quiet, rarely disturbed rooms
