Why Grey Squirrels Are More Than Just a Nuisance
While they might look charming in your garden, grey squirrels quickly become a serious problem when they gain access to your property. These agile rodents are notorious for the damage they cause, particularly in lofts and attics. They gnaw incessantly on wooden beams, insulation, and even electrical wiring – which poses a significant fire risk. Their droppings and urine can also contaminate spaces, leading to unpleasant odours and potential health hazards. Beyond the structural damage, the constant noise of scurrying and scratching can be incredibly disruptive, especially at night. Dealing with a squirrel problem promptly is crucial to prevent further costly damage and maintain peace of mind in your Dawlish home or commercial premises.

01822 668338Spotting the Signs of a Squirrel Infestation in Your Property
If you suspect you have squirrels, knowing what to look for can help confirm your suspicions. The most common signs include:
- Noise: You'll often hear scurrying, scratching, and gnawing sounds, especially in the loft or wall cavities, often during the daytime as squirrels are active during daylight hours.
- Damage: Look for chewed wood, insulation, or even electrical cables. You might also find torn insulation in your loft.
- Droppings: Squirrel droppings are typically dark, pellet-shaped, and roughly the size of a small raisin. You might find them in your loft or near entry points.
- Entry Points: Look for visible holes or gnaw marks around fascias, soffits, eaves, or even gaps in brickwork.
- Sightings: Seeing squirrels frequently on your roof, climbing walls, or entering/exiting your property is a strong indicator.
If you notice any of these signs, don't delay – contact us for a professional inspection.
