The Arithmetic

The Continuous Carpet Question

This decides the room count more reliably than anything else.

• Does the same carpet run from one room into the next, under the door?
• If yes, larvae travel along it and both rooms need doing
• If there is a threshold bar and separate carpets, they are separate problems
• Hall, stairs and landing are often one continuous run
• A hard floor between two carpeted rooms is a genuine barrier
• Check under every door rather than guessing

The Commonest Four

• Hall, stairs and landing — one continuous carpet, often counted as two
• Plus the living room it opens off
• Plus a bedroom off the landing
• Or a dining room and a study in a through-flowing ground floor
• Or the room with the stored wool, plus the rooms either side of it

The Stairs Deserve a Section

• Hall, stairs and landing are usually one continuous carpet
• Larvae favour the sides of the treads, not the walked middle
• Under the gripper at the back of each tread is a classic spot
• Under the bottom step and in the corner of a half-landing
• A long staircase in a larger house gives them a great deal of undisturbed edge
• Check them before deciding your count — the damage is easy to miss

When It Should Be Five

• Wool carpet running continuously through the whole ground floor and up
• Damage or larvae found in five or more rooms
• Adults seen throughout the house
• A previous treatment of fewer rooms that came back
• A long-standing problem in a property with original wool carpet

When fewer will do

• Damage confined to one or two rooms with threshold bars between
• Hard floors through much of the house
• A single affected rug on a hard floor
• Caught early with damage in one clear spot

Preparing Four or Five Rooms

• Vacuum every room thoroughly — edges, corners, under furniture, crevice tool
• Include the stairs if they are part of the run
• Empty into a sealed bag and put it outside each time
• Move furniture away from walls throughout
• Lift every rug
• Empty wardrobes and check wool clothing
• Clear floor storage in every room
• Allow proper time. Four or five rooms is a substantial preparation

Related Questions

Does the hall count as a room?

Yes, and in a house it is frequently the one that matters most.

Can I do three rooms now and one later?

On a continuous carpet, no — it reinfests. With a threshold bar between separate carpets, it is possible.

What about a rug in a sixth room?

Tell us. Sometimes a rug can be dealt with alongside rather than as a full room.
