Safe Removal of Insects, Larvae, Contaminants and Fibre-Damaging Activity
Carpet infestations can cause significant fibre damage, unpleasant odours and hygiene concerns within the home. At Hampshire Carpet and Upholstery Care, we provide a specialist de-infestation service that completely removes insects, larvae and organic contaminants from carpets and rugs while restoring a clean, healthy living environment.
We serve homes and businesses across Hampshire, including Southampton, Winchester, Portsmouth, Fareham, Eastleigh, Basingstoke, Petersfield, Alton, Andover and the New Forest. Our process is safe, controlled, and carried out by experienced, fully trained professionals.
What Is Carpet De-Infestation?
Carpet de-infestation is the professional removal of any insects, larvae or organic material living within your carpets. These may include:
- Carpet moth larvae
- Carpet beetle larvae
- Dust mites and allergens
- Fleas and flea eggs
- Pet dander, hair and organic debris
- Insect frass (fine droppings)
Left untreated, these can weaken carpet fibres, cause irritation to pets and people, and create long-term hygiene issues.
Common Signs You May Need De-Infestation
- Irregular thinning or bare patches
- Silken cases, larvae or webbing
- Fine dust-like debris near edges or under furniture
- Increased pet scratching or irritation
- A musty smell coming from the carpet
- Visible adult insects low to the floor
If you see any of these signs, a thorough, professional de-infestation is strongly recommended.
Our Specialist Multi-Stage De-Infestation Treatment
1. Professional Inspection and Assessment
We inspect the carpet construction, fibre type and levels of activity to identify the correct treatment method and locate hidden infestations that general cleaning may miss.
2. Deep Extraction Cleaning
Using professional hot water extraction systems, we flush out:
- Eggs and larvae
- Adult insects
- Organic contaminants
- Dust mites and allergens
This deep-cleaning stage dramatically reduces the infestation before treatment begins.
3. Application of a Residual Treatment
We use a professional-grade, long-lasting treatment that:
- Continues working for weeks after application
- Penetrates deep into the carpet pile
- Does not stain or leave unpleasant odours
- Is safe for families and pets once dry
This ensures remaining activity is eradicated effectively and safely.
4. Optional Long-Term Fibre Protection
For homes with pets, wool carpets or repeat issues, we can apply a protective barrier to reduce the risk of future infestations and prolong carpet life.
Wool-Safe and Suitable for Delicate Carpets
Natural fibres are particularly vulnerable to insects and harsh chemicals. Our treatments are carefully selected to protect:
- Wool and wool-rich carpets
- High-quality rugs
- Sisal and natural fibres
- Premium and designer carpets
We avoid strong alkaline solutions and aggressive products that could weaken or damage your investment.
End of Tenancy Carpet De-Infestation
Protecting Deposits • Meeting Landlord Requirements • Ensuring a Hygienic Handover
Infestation issues—particularly fleas, moth larvae or beetles—are one of the most common reasons tenants lose part or all of their deposit. Many tenancy agreements now specifically require:
- Professional carpet cleaning
- Flea treatment if pets have been present
- De-infestation where insects or larvae are found
- Proof of professional completion
Our end-of-tenancy de-infestation service provides full compliance with these expectations, giving both tenants and landlords complete peace of mind.
Why Tenants May Need De-Infestation Before Moving Out
- To meet the tenancy agreement requirements
- To protect your deposit from deductions
- To ensure no insects or larvae remain for the next occupant
- To avoid being charged for more expensive landlord-arranged treatments
- To leave the property in a hygienic, safe condition
We provide receipts and documentation for landlords, letting agents or inventory clerks.
Why Landlords and Letting Agents Use This Service
- Prevents infestations spreading to new carpets or furnishings
- Ensures the property is safe and hygienic before reletting
- Reduces tenant complaints or hygiene issues
