Welcome to Pestforce Pest Control Exmouth
Hello, I'm Toby, and I provide pest control services across Exmouth and the neighbouring areas, including Lympstone, Budleigh Salterton, Woodbury, and the surrounding EX postcodes.
Discovering a pest problem in your home or business is rarely a pleasant experience, and it's something I take seriously with every single customer I visit.
My focus is on identifying the actual cause of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms, so once I've been out, the issue is properly dealt with rather than simply masked for a few weeks.
Running my own independent business means you'll always be dealing with me personally, from the first phone call right through to the follow-up visit, rather than a different technician turning up each time.
Get in touch by phone or email, tell me what's happening, and I'll take the time to understand the problem properly before offering clear advice and arranging a visit as soon as it suits you.

About Toby – Your Pest Control Technician
My working life didn't start in pest control. I left school at 16 and trained as a bricklayer, spending years on building sites as well as taking on private jobs in people's homes. That time taught me a great deal about how properties are put together and where problems are most likely to take hold, and it gave me a work ethic that has stuck with me ever since: show up, do the job properly, and don't take shortcuts.
Moving into pest control felt like a logical step from there. It lets me put that hands-on, practical background to use while spending most of my time outdoors, which suits me far better than a desk job ever could. An interest in the countryside and how wildlife behaves has proved genuinely helpful, giving me a better understanding not just of how to treat a problem but of why it's happening in the first place.
The thing I enjoy most about this job is straightforward: knowing I've properly sorted out something that was causing someone real stress. Whether that's a homeowner hearing noises in the loft or a business owner worried about an upcoming inspection, there's a real sense of satisfaction in being able to say the problem is genuinely resolved.
Because I run this business myself, the standard of work is entirely down to me, and I take real pride in that. Customers can expect me to turn up on time, speak plainly, and focus on actually fixing the issue rather than pushing unnecessary treatments.
Away from work, I spend as much time as I can outdoors, whether that's fishing, walking, or simply making the most of living near the coast.

Rat Control Exmouth
Rats are a regular issue across Exmouth, from properties near the estuary and seafront to homes and gardens further inland. Once they establish themselves, they breed quickly and can cause serious damage, gnawing through wiring, timber, and stored belongings, while also carrying diseases that present a genuine risk to health.
Common signs include dark, tapered droppings, gnaw marks on wood or packaging, greasy smear marks along frequently used routes, and burrows appearing in gardens, sheds, or compost areas.
My rat control service in Exmouth includes:
- A thorough survey of the property and garden to establish entry points and nesting sites
- Professional baiting and trapping suited to the location
- Practical advice on sealing access points to prevent recurrence

Mice Control Exmouth
Mice are one of the most common pests I deal with around Exmouth, particularly in older properties, terraced housing, and homes close to the coast where gaps around pipework and skirting are easy for them to exploit. They breed rapidly, contaminate food, and can damage insulation and wiring within walls and lofts.
Signs to look out for include small dark droppings, a musty smell, gnawed packaging, and scratching or rustling sounds after dark.
My mouse control service includes:
- A detailed inspection to locate nesting areas and access routes
- Baiting and trapping suited to homes and commercial premises alike
- Proofing advice for common weak points such as door gaps and air vents
Signs of mice at home? Call 01395 875 030 to book an inspection.
Wasp Nest Removal Exmouth
Wasp nests appear regularly in Exmouth lofts, garden sheds, and roof spaces between late spring and early autumn, and by late summer a mature nest can house several thousand wasps. Trying to remove one without the correct protective equipment and treatment can be genuinely dangerous, particularly for anyone with a known allergy.
I aim to offer a fast response wherever possible, treating the nest safely and effectively, usually completing the job in a single visit.
My wasp nest removal service includes:
- Safe treatment of nests both indoors and outdoors
- Advice on discouraging wasps from returning to the same spot
- Quick turnaround during the busiest months for wasp activity
Found a wasp nest? Call 01395 875 030 for safe, same-day removal.
Ant Control Exmouth
Black garden ants are a familiar nuisance for homes around Exmouth, often finding their way indoors in search of food during the warmer months. While generally harmless, an established colony can be surprisingly stubborn to clear using shop-bought sprays alone.
My ant control service includes:
- Locating the nest and identifying how ants are entering the property
- Treatment focused on eliminating the colony at its source, not just the ants visible on the surface
- Practical advice on discouraging ants from returning
Ants becoming a nuisance? Call 01395 875 030 for treatment that targets the nest.
Flea Treatment Exmouth
Flea infestations often catch people by surprise, whether after a house move, a holiday, or noticing pets scratching more than usual. Fleas can lie dormant in carpets and soft furnishings for extended periods before becoming active, which is why they're often harder to shift than people expect.
My flea treatment service includes:
- A thorough inspection of affected rooms, carpets, and furniture
- Professional treatment aimed at fleas at every stage of their life cycle
- Clear guidance on preparing the home before treatment and maintaining it afterwards
Fleas causing a problem? Call 01395 875 030 for professional treatment.
Bed Bug Treatment Exmouth
Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to eliminate without professional help, hiding in mattress seams, bed frames, and skirting boards, and typically introduced via travel, second-hand furniture, or visiting guests. Once established, they spread through a property quickly and can be distressing to deal with.
My bed bug treatment service includes:
- Careful inspection to confirm an infestation and pinpoint where they're hiding
- Thorough treatment of every affected room
- Practical guidance on preparing the property and reducing the risk of it happening again
Suspect bed bugs? Call 01395 875 030 for a discreet, thorough treatment.
Cockroach Control Exmouth
Cockroaches are relatively uncommon around Exmouth, but when they do appear — typically in commercial kitchens, storage facilities, or older buildings — prompt treatment is essential, as they carry bacteria and can contaminate food preparation surfaces.
My cockroach control service includes:
- A detailed survey to identify the species involved and the scale of the infestation
- Treatment tailored to the property, including commercial kitchens and food premises
- Hygiene and proofing advice to reduce the risk of recurrence
Spotted a cockroach? Call 01395 875 030 for prompt, effective treatment.
Mole Control Exmouth
With open countryside, allotments, and larger gardens surrounding Exmouth, moles are a fairly regular complaint, particularly further inland from the seafront. Molehills can quickly spoil a well-kept lawn, disrupt growing areas, and cause problems for anyone maintaining larger grounds.
My mole control service includes:
- An on-site assessment of the affected garden or land
- Humane, effective trapping methods
- Advice on discouraging moles from returning to treated areas
Molehills appearing on your lawn? Call 01395 875 030 for effective mole control.
Squirrel Control Exmouth
Grey squirrels can cause considerable damage once they find their way into a loft space, chewing through timber, insulation, and electrical wiring, all while creating a fair amount of noise. Properties near mature trees or green spaces around Exmouth are particularly at risk.
My squirrel control service includes:
- Inspection of the loft and roofline to establish entry points
- Humane trapping and removal
- Proofing advice to prevent squirrels getting back in
Hearing noises in the loft? Call 01395 875 030 for humane squirrel removal.
Fly Control Exmouth
Persistent flies around bins, drains, or food preparation areas often point to an underlying issue rather than something a can of spray will fix for good. Flies can spread bacteria onto surfaces, which makes proper fly control especially important for cafés, restaurants, and food businesses across Exmouth.
My fly control service includes:
- Identifying the underlying source of the fly problem
- Treatment suited to both domestic kitchens and commercial premises
- Hygiene and prevention advice to stop the problem returning
Flies not going away? Call 01395 875 030 for a proper solution.
Commercial Pest Control Exmouth
I work with a wide range of businesses across Exmouth and the surrounding area, including:
- Seafront cafés, restaurants, and takeaways
- Holiday accommodation and guest houses
- Shops and retail units
- Warehouses and storage facilities
- Landlords and letting agents managing multiple properties
Commercial premises typically have different requirements to a domestic property, from documentation needed for environmental health inspections to discreet scheduling that avoids disrupting day-to-day trade. I can put together a tailored treatment plan to keep your premises pest-free and compliant.
