Common Pest Challenges in Exeter and Dartmoor


Different environments bring different pest problems. Here’s a look at the most common pests in our service areas and how we tackle them.


Bedbugs and Cockroaches in City Living


In high-density housing areas like Heavitree or Exeter City Centre, bedbugs and cockroaches spread quickly between flats and buildings. These pests cause discomfort, health concerns, and damage to property.


Our approach:


  • Use professional-grade treatments targeting all life stages of the pests.

  • Conduct thorough inspections to identify infestation sources.

  • Apply treatments discreetly to minimize disruption.

  • Follow up to ensure pests do not return.


This method ensures complete elimination and peace of mind for residents.


Rats and Mice in Urban and Rural Settings


As the weather cools, rodents seek shelter indoors. Shops in Topsham, barns in Crediton, and homes across Exeter face risks from rats and mice. These pests damage property, contaminate food, and pose health hazards.


Our solution:


  • Identify and seal entry points to prevent re-entry.

  • Remove existing infestations using safe and effective methods.

  • Provide advice on ongoing prevention tailored to each property.


This comprehensive approach stops rodents from coming back and protects your property long-term.


Wildlife and Agricultural Pests in Dartmoor


Dartmoor’s rural properties face unique challenges from wildlife and agricultural pests. These include insects, birds, and mammals that can affect livestock, crops, and buildings.


Our expertise:


  • Use treatments safe for families, pets, and livestock.

  • Understand local wildlife behavior to apply targeted solutions.

  • Offer advice on habitat management to reduce pest attraction.


This ensures your rural property stays protected without harming the environment.


Why Choose Local Pest Control Experts?


Choosing a local team means faster response times and knowledge of area-specific pest issues. We understand Exeter’s historic buildings, Dartmoor’s rural landscape, and the growing communities in between. Our team uses this insight to deliver tailored pest control that works.


Practical Tips to Prevent Pest Problems


While professional treatment is essential for infestations, prevention helps reduce risks. Here are some practical tips:


  • Keep your home clean and dry. Pests thrive in cluttered, damp areas.

  • Seal cracks and gaps. Prevent entry by closing off potential access points.

  • Store food securely. Use airtight containers to avoid attracting pests.

  • Manage waste properly. Dispose of rubbish regularly and use sealed bins.

  • Maintain outdoor areas. Trim vegetation and clear debris near buildings.


Following these steps can reduce the chance of pests invading your space.
