Spotting the Signs: Do You Have Squirrels in Your Torquay Property?
Squirrels are surprisingly adept at finding their way into buildings, often through small gaps or weakened roof tiles. If you’re living in Torquay, you might first suspect a squirrel problem by the noises you hear. Listen for scratching, scurrying, or even gnawing sounds, especially in your loft space or wall cavities, often in the early morning or late afternoon. Beyond the noise, look out for other tell-tale signs such as disturbed insulation, chewed wiring or timbers, and droppings – which are typically round or oval and scattered. Early detection is key to preventing widespread damage, so if you notice any of these indicators, it's time to call in the professionals.

Who We Are
Why Professional Squirrel Control is Essential for Your Property
While a single squirrel might seem harmless, an unchecked infestation can lead to serious and costly issues. Squirrels have a persistent need to gnaw, and this can extend to electrical cables, water pipes, and structural timbers in your loft or walls, posing a significant fire risk or water damage. They can also tear up insulation to create nests, making your home less energy-efficient. Furthermore, their droppings and urine can contaminate areas, leading to hygiene concerns. Attempting DIY squirrel removal can be ineffective and potentially dangerous, as squirrels can be aggressive when cornered. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians are equipped with the expertise and specialist tools to deal with the problem safely and humanely.
