Understanding the problem
Why activity can occur
The damaging stage is the larva, which feeds on natural fibres. Quiet edges, undisturbed storage and organic residues can support activity in both modern and period homes.
Responsible treatment
Treatment plans depend on the pest, property and extent of activity. Products are used in accordance with their authorised label directions and customers receive relevant safety instructions.
