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 — and that is frequently the three
• A hard floor between two carpeted rooms is a genuine barrier
• Check under the door rather than guessing

The Commonest Three

In a house, three rooms is very often not three bedrooms.

• Hall, stairs and landing — one continuous carpet, counted as the rooms it covers
• Living room, hall and one bedroom
• Two bedrooms and the landing between them
• Through-lounge, hall and stairs
• The room with the stored wool, plus the two 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 the half-landing
• They are treated with the hall and landing rather than as a separate room
• Check them before deciding your count — the damage is easy to miss

When It Should Be More Than Three

• Wool carpet running continuously through most of the property
• Damage or larvae found in more than three rooms
• Adults seen throughout
• You treated some rooms before and it came back
• A long-standing problem in an older property with original carpet

When fewer will do

• Damage confined to one or two rooms with threshold bars between
• The rest of the property is hard-floored or synthetic-carpeted
• A single affected rug on a hard floor
• Caught early with damage in one clear spot

Preparing Three Rooms

• Vacuum all three 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 all three

Related Questions

Does the hallway count as a room?

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

Can I do two 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 fourth room?

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