Why Squirrels Become a Real Problem for Your Property
While often seen as charming in the garden, squirrels, especially grey squirrels, can quickly become a serious issue when they decide to move into your home or commercial premises. They are prolific gnawers, and their powerful incisors can damage electrical wiring, water pipes, wooden joists, and insulation. This gnawing poses a genuine fire risk and can lead to expensive repairs. Beyond structural damage, squirrels can contaminate areas with urine and droppings, introduce fleas and mites, and disturb your peace with their constant scampering. Dealing with a squirrel problem quickly is crucial to prevent further damage and maintain a safe living or working environment.

01822 668338Spotting the Signs of a Squirrel Infestation
Knowing what to look for can help you catch a squirrel problem early. The most common sign is often noise – scratching, scuttling, or gnawing sounds coming from your loft, wall cavities, or outbuildings, particularly in the morning and evening. You might also find droppings, which are usually small, dark, and resemble large raisins. Look for physical damage too: gnawed wood, stripped insulation, or damaged bird feeders. If you suspect squirrels are present, don't delay. Give us a call for a swift inspection in St Columb Major or anywhere in our Devon and Cornwall service area.
