Squirrel Control in Budleigh Salterton: Reclaiming Your Peace of Mind
Hearing strange scratching noises in your loft or noticing damage to your roofline? It's highly likely you have an uninvited guest: grey squirrels. While these creatures might look cute in the park, they can become a serious pest problem when they set up home in your Budleigh Salterton property. Squirrels cause significant damage by gnawing through electrical cables, insulation, and timber, creating fire hazards and expensive repair bills. At Moorlander Pest Control, we provide professional, effective, and humane squirrel control services across Budleigh Salterton and the wider Devon area, dealing with your problem quickly and responsibly.
Why Choose Us?
Our Proven Strategy for Effective Squirrel Removal
With 20 years of experience in pest management, our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians understand the behaviour of squirrels and how to get them out of your home or business premises. We don't just tackle the symptoms; we get to the root of the issue. Our approach begins with a thorough inspection to identify entry points, nesting sites, and the extent of the infestation. We then implement a tailored plan using a range of humane trapping methods or, in some cases, responsible use of approved rodenticides when necessary, always adhering to strict safety protocols. We pride ourselves on clear communication throughout the entire process, so you're always kept in the loop.

Who We Are
Is That a Squirrel in My Loft? Signs to Watch For
Squirrels are excellent climbers, often gaining access to buildings through gaps in fascia boards, soffits, broken roof tiles, or even through uncapped chimneys. Look out for these common signs that you might have a squirrel problem in your Budleigh Salterton property:
- Noises: Persistent scratching, scuttling, or chattering sounds, especially in the mornings and evenings, coming from your loft, walls, or even under floorboards.
- Damage: Chewed electrical wires (a significant fire risk), gnawed timber, ripped loft insulation, or damaged water pipes. You might also spot holes chewed into exterior vents or soffits.
- Droppings: Small, dark pellets, often resembling large mouse droppings, found in the loft or around entry points.
- Visual Sightings: Seeing squirrels frequently on your roof, in your gutters, or attempting to enter your property.

01822 668338Why Professional Squirrel Control is Essential
Trying to remove squirrels yourself can be ineffective and even dangerous. Squirrels can be aggressive when cornered, and their bites or scratches can carry diseases. Furthermore, DIY traps are often poorly placed or not strong enough, leading to injured animals or continued infestations. As BPCA affiliated members, Moorlander Pest Control provides a professional service that is safe, efficient, and compliant with all UK wildlife laws. We use specialist equipment and our extensive knowledge to ensure the problem is dealt with effectively, minimising stress to the animals and ensuring your safety. Our comprehensive service ensures a long-term solution, not just a temporary fix.
