Why Squirrels Are More Than Just a Nuisance in Your Home
It’s easy to underestimate the damage a squirrel can cause once it sets up residence in your property. They aren't just making a bit of noise; their constant gnawing can lead to significant structural issues and even fire hazards. Squirrels will chew through electrical wiring, wooden beams, insulation, water pipes, and even lead flashing. This can result in costly repairs, loss of heating efficiency, and a very real risk of electrical fires. Beyond the physical damage, their droppings and urine can contaminate areas, posing health risks and creating unpleasant odours. Don't let a small problem become a huge headache – deal with squirrels quickly and professionally.

Who We Are
Spotting the Signs of a Squirrel Problem in Your Crediton Property
How can you tell if you’ve got squirrels making themselves at home? Often, the first sign is the noise. You might hear scurrying, scratching, or gnawing sounds coming from your loft, walls, or even under the floorboards, particularly in the mornings and evenings when they are most active. Other clear indicators include:
- Droppings: Similar to rat droppings, but often more scattered.
- Gnaw Marks: Fresh chew marks on wood, cables, or stored items.
- Damaged Insulation: Tunnels or nesting material made from torn insulation in your loft.
- Entry Points: Small holes or gaps around your roofline, eaves, or vents that squirrels are using to get in.
- Unusual Odours: A musky, damp smell from their urine and faeces.
If you suspect squirrels are present, it’s time to call in the professionals.
