Today’s episode of The Damp Show is all about insects. Furniture beetles which typically come out in May and wreak havoc in timbers and fleas which love warm weather damp corners or humid conditions. An infestation of either of these pests is no joke.
So, Sam explains how to recognise that these pests are taking up residency in your home and what to do about them. Including, how to use a PIV to help with this issue, while greatly improving the air quality in your home.
