At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand the distress and potential problems a mouse infestation can bring. With over 20 years of hands-on experience in pest management across Devon and Cornwall, our local, RSPH-qualified team offers rapid, effective, and responsible mouse control solutions designed to get your property free from pests and keep it that way.
Why Choose Us?
Spotting the Signs of a Mouse Problem in Your Home
Mice are incredibly adept at hiding, often active at night, which means you might not see the rodents themselves. However, they leave behind clear evidence of their unwelcome presence. If you suspect mice in your Salcombe property, look out for:
- Droppings: Small, dark, rice-grain-sized droppings, often found near food sources, in cupboards, along skirting boards, or in lofts.
- Gnaw Marks: Mice constantly gnaw to keep their teeth in check. Look for chewed cables, furniture, food packaging, or structural timber. This can be a fire hazard.
- Scratching Noises: You might hear scratching, scuttling, or gnawing sounds, particularly at night, coming from lofts, walls, or under floorboards.
- Nests: Shredded materials like paper, fabric, or insulation indicate a nest, often found in secluded, undisturbed areas.
- Musky Odour: A stale, ammonia-like smell that gets stronger in enclosed areas, indicating a high level of mouse activity.

Who We Are
Why Professional Mouse Extermination is Crucial
While DIY traps and baits might offer a temporary fix for a small problem, they rarely provide a long-term solution for a mouse infestation. Mice are intelligent and cautious, often learning to avoid amateur attempts. Professional mouse control goes far beyond just setting traps. Our BPCA-affiliated and RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians are equipped with specialist knowledge and professional-grade products not available to the general public. We don't just tackle the visible mice; we identify how they are getting in, where they are nesting, and what is attracting them. This comprehensive approach is essential for true, lasting mouse eradication and prevention.

01822 668338Our Responsible & Effective Mouse Control Process
As proud subscribers to the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU), our approach to mouse control in Salcombe is built on both effectiveness and environmental responsibility. We avoid simply laying down poison unnecessarily. Our expert process typically includes:
- Thorough Survey: We conduct a detailed inspection of your property to identify entry points (ingress points), activity levels, and harborage areas.
- Targeted Treatment: Based on our survey, we deploy a combination of secure, tamper-resistant bait stations with professional-grade rodenticides and strategic trapping. We choose the most appropriate method for your specific situation, prioritising safety for children and pets.
- Proofing Advice & Implementation: Crucially, we advise on and can implement essential proofing works to seal off common entry points, preventing future mouse problems. This might include blocking holes, repairing damaged vents, or advising on drain surveys if needed.
- Monitoring & Follow-Up: We monitor the treatment's effectiveness and conduct follow-up visits to ensure the infestation is completely cleared and to provide ongoing advice.

01822 668338Preventing Future Mouse Infestations: The Power of Proofing
Eradicating existing mice is only half the battle. To ensure they don't return, effective proofing is vital. Mice can squeeze through incredibly small gaps – a gap the size of a pencil is big enough for a mouse. Our team will identify these potential entry points, which can include gaps around pipes, unsealed vents, damaged brickwork, or gaps under doors. We provide expert advice and services to fortify your property against future rodent ingress, offering a robust, long-term solution that protects your Salcombe home or business.
