Expert Squirrel Control in Dulverton & Across Devon and Cornwall
Noises in the loft? Scratching in your walls? If you're hearing unsettling sounds, especially during the day, you might have squirrels taking up residence in your home or business premises. Grey squirrels are a common pest in the UK, and while they might look charming in the garden, they can cause significant, expensive damage once they get inside. At Moorlander Pest Control, we provide professional, effective, and humane squirrel control solutions right across Dulverton, Plymouth, and the wider Devon and Cornwall region. With 20 years of hands-on experience, our RSPH-qualified team is here to solve your squirrel problem for good.
Why Choose Us?
Why Squirrels are More Than Just a Nuisance
Grey squirrels aren't just making a racket; they pose a real threat to your property. Their constant need to gnaw means they often chew through electrical wiring, increasing the risk of fire. They can strip insulation in lofts, causing heat loss and higher energy bills, and even damage wooden beams and pipework. Squirrels also carry fleas, ticks, and other parasites, potentially introducing further pests into your environment. Ignoring a squirrel infestation won't make it go away – it will only lead to more extensive and costly damage. That's why prompt, professional intervention is vital.

01822 668338Our Professional & Ethical Squirrel Removal Process
We believe in getting to the root of the problem. Our approach to squirrel control is thorough and responsible:
- Comprehensive Inspection: We begin with a detailed inspection of your property to identify entry points, assess the extent of the infestation, and pinpoint where squirrels are harbouring. This crucial first step helps us formulate the most effective treatment plan.
- Targeted Treatment: Utilising professional-grade traps and, where necessary and legally permitted, humane culling methods, we work to remove the squirrels from your premises quickly and effectively. All our methods comply with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 concerning non-native species like grey squirrels.
- Proofing & Prevention: Eradicating squirrels is only half the battle. Our service includes expert advice and implementation of proofing works. We'll identify and seal entry points like gaps in fascia boards, broken roof tiles, or uncapped chimneys to prevent future infestations. This long-term prevention is key to keeping your home or business squirrel-free.

01822 668338Understanding Grey Squirrels and Their Legal Status
It's important to understand that in the UK, the grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is an invasive non-native species. Unlike the native red squirrel, which is protected, the grey squirrel is not. In fact, it's illegal to release a captured grey squirrel back into the wild once caught, as per the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. This highlights the importance of professional pest control. Our methods are designed to be effective while adhering strictly to all legal and ethical guidelines, ensuring a responsible approach to rodent control.
