Ossett's stone terraces and later housing offer plenty of wool and quiet corners. We inspect, find the larvae and treat clothes, carpets and furnishings.
A common Ossett story is the bedroom wardrobe that was emptied for a new carpet or a decorating job. In a stone terrace, that kind of upheaval often reveals old webbing, cases or bare patches that had been building quietly. If you are preparing for work like that, it is a useful moment to look at everything coming out of cupboards. Wool garments should be checked at seams and cuffs, and rugs lifted at their corners.
Textile heritage in the town means plenty of wool in homes and the occasional stored bundle of old cloth. Later housing mostly brings fitted carpets, where larvae feed unnoticed along the edges and under beds. We inspect with a torch, treat confirmed feeding sites, and advise on what to wash, freeze or throw away. The visit is free to arrange, and costs depend on the property and number of visits. The technicians who attend are fully insured and trained.
It is a good time. Emptying wardrobes lets you see back corners and carpet edges that are normally hidden. Look for webbing, cases and grazing, wash or freeze suspect wool, and vacuum before things go back in.
Not by itself. If larvae are living in wardrobes or furniture, they can move onto a new wool or wool-mix carpet. Deal with the existing source first and use sealed storage afterwards. Synthetic carpet is less attractive to larvae but not immune to dirt-borne feeding.
