Bald patches on your carpets is really a problem and is an owner’s nightmare.

It ruins their investment and makes the carpet look old, ugly and poorly maintained. If you have visitors they will think that this is a cause of heavy foot traffic and years of use, but it’s really not the issue. Carpet organisms like beetles and moths are usually behind this issue.

This organism infests your carpets and does their dirty jobs. They lay eggs on your carpets and stay between the fibres and multiply their growth. The larvae casing are left on the carpet once they hatch and become adults.

Carpet cleaning Birmingham has some tips here on how to prevent the premature baldness of your carpet and keep them looking new for years.

Place mats by the door. Some of the dirt and soil that comes in your house may damage your carpet. Balding carpets can also be prevented by reducing the amount of dirt that gets into the carpet fibre. Oblige everyone, including guests, to wipe their shoes off first on the mats before entering the house. Or it would be better to remove the shoes upon entering. This is a good practice to follow so you keep your carpets clean even with minimal attention.

Vacuum the carpet regularly. Properly taking care of your carpet is the best way to prevent an infestation from occurring. Vacuum the carpet regularly to make sure that no unwanted insects are living inside. Insecticides can also be applied to keep them at bay.

If you discover that there is a colony of bugs munching on your carpet, be sure to vacuum the carpet thoroughly before calling in a professional carpet cleaner in Birmingham. Focus on the affected area and dispose of the vacuum bag once you’re done.

Hire a professional carpet cleaning company. If you already have a carpet that is infested by moth, do not despair because this can easily be resolved. Just call a professional carpet cleaning Birmingham and they’ll handle the problem for you.

While on a process of taking care of the moth infested carpets, the pest control officer will assess the extent of the problem. He will then put a safe, natural agent to make sure that all eggs, larvae and adult pests living in your carpet are all dead. Some may use a stronger chemical to prevent them from coming back.

The carpet can still be saved as long as you have an extra carpet in your house that can be cut and placed over the bald patches.
