Old furniture – new dangers

Have you ever thought that an old armchair or wardrobe could be a haven for bedbugs, cockroaches, or even rodents? When moving house, storing furniture in the basement or garage becomes an ideal environment for pests to hide, reproduce, and eventually move to a clean environment.

Where does the threat lie?

• Upholstered furniture is a great place for bedbugs, which hide in the seams or under the upholstery.

• Wooden structures – may contain woodworm or mold spores.

• Stored furniture attracts mice , especially if there is food leftovers or waste nearby.

• Store in garages or outbuildings for long periods of time.
