Effective Squirrel Control in Ilfracombe & North Devon
Grey squirrels might look cute, but when they decide your loft or home is their ideal new residence, they quickly become a significant pest. At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand the specific challenges properties in areas like Ilfracombe and across North Devon face with these highly adaptable rodents. With 20 years of industry experience, our qualified team provides professional, effective, and humane squirrel control services, ensuring your home or commercial premises are free from these destructive pests.
Why Choose Us?
When Squirrels Become a Real Pest Problem
It often starts with strange scratching noises in the loft or walls. Before you know it, what seemed like a minor nuisance can escalate into serious damage. Squirrels are notorious for gnawing through electrical cables, posing a significant fire risk, and tearing up insulation for nesting material, which can lead to heat loss and increased energy bills. They also contaminate areas with their droppings and urine, creating unpleasant odours and potential health hazards. Dealing with squirrels requires a specialist approach to prevent widespread and costly damage to your property.

Who We Are
Spotting the Signs of Squirrels in Your Property
How do you know if you have a squirrel problem? Keep an ear out for scratching, scampering, or chattering noises, especially in the early mornings or late evenings. You might also find droppings (similar in size to a rat's but rounder) or evidence of gnawing on timbers, pipes, or electrical wires. Look for disturbed insulation in the loft or small entry holes around the roofline. If you suspect squirrels are making themselves at home, it's vital to act quickly to limit the damage they can inflict.
