Why Choose Us?
Why Grey Squirrels Are a Problem for Your Exeter Property
While delightful to watch in the garden, a grey squirrel infestation inside your property is a different story. These agile rodents are notorious for their gnawing habits. They have strong teeth that grow continuously, leading them to chew on almost anything to keep them in check. This can mean:
- Structural Damage: Gnawing through timber in lofts, roof trusses, and fascia boards.
- Electrical Hazards: Chewing through electrical wiring, which is a major fire risk.
- Insulation Damage: Tearing up loft insulation for nesting material, reducing its effectiveness and causing costly damage.
- Noise & Droppings: Creating significant noise, especially at night or early morning, and leaving behind droppings and urine that can cause unpleasant odours and health risks.
We've helped many homeowners and businesses in Exeter and the surrounding areas deal with these exact problems, protecting their premises from costly squirrel damage.

How to Spot Squirrels in Your Exeter Home or Business
Suspect you have squirrels? It's often easier to detect them by the signs they leave behind rather than seeing the pests themselves. Look out for:
- Scratching & Scuttling Noises: Especially in your loft, walls, or even under floorboards, often more noticeable in the mornings and evenings.
- Gnaw Marks: Fresh chew marks on timber, plastic pipes, electrical cables, or stored items in your loft.
- Droppings: Small, dark pellets, similar in size to a rat's but often more rounded.
- Nests (Dreys): Collections of twigs, leaves, and insulation material in hidden corners of your loft.
- Entry Points: Gaps or holes around rooflines, eaves, or vents that could allow them access.
If you've noticed any of these signs, it's time to call in the qualified professionals.

01822 668338Our Expert Squirrel Control Process in Exeter
Dealing with squirrels requires a thorough and responsible approach. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians follow a strict process to ensure effective and humane removal, tailored to your specific situation:
- Detailed Site Survey: We'll start with a comprehensive inspection of your Exeter property to pinpoint entry points, identify the extent of the infestation, and locate nesting areas. This critical first step helps us understand the full scope of the problem.
- Targeted Control Plan: Based on our survey, we'll implement a bespoke treatment plan. As CRRU subscribers, we always prioritise responsible pest management. Our methods include humane trapping, where we either remove the squirrels or use effective control techniques. We hold a Marksman Qualification, allowing us to carry out control measures safely and effectively where appropriate.
- Proofing & Prevention: Eradicating the current squirrels is only part of the solution. Our long-term goal is to prevent their return. We provide expert advice and can carry out essential proofing works, sealing up ingress points to stop squirrels from getting back into your home or commercial premises. This proactive approach saves you money and stress in the long run.
