Expert Squirrel Control in Kingsteignton: Protecting Your Property from Pests
Squirrels might look cute, but when they decide to make your Kingsteignton home or business their own, they quickly become a destructive pest problem. These agile rodents are notorious for invading lofts, wall cavities, and outbuildings, causing a surprising amount of damage in a short space of time. If you’re hearing scratching, gnawing, or scurrying noises above your ceiling, or seeing signs of chewed wires and timbers, it’s time to call in the professionals. Moorlander Pest Control offers fast, effective, and humane squirrel removal services right here in Kingsteignton and the surrounding Devon areas.
Why Choose Us?
The Real Problem with Squirrels in Your Home or Business
Beyond the gnawing and scratching, squirrels can cause significant, costly damage to your property. They have a persistent need to chew to keep their teeth sharp, which often leads them to electrical wiring, water pipes, and structural timbers in your loft or walls. This doesn't just create a mess; it poses a serious fire hazard and can compromise your home’s integrity. Squirrels also bring in nesting materials, which can block gutters and drains, and their droppings and urine can contaminate insulation, creating unpleasant odours and potential health risks. Dealing with a squirrel infestation promptly is vital to prevent long-term damage and maintain a healthy environment.

Who We Are
Identifying a Squirrel Problem in Your Kingsteignton Property
Not sure if those strange noises in the loft are squirrels, rats, or something else? Here are the common signs that suggest you have a squirrel problem:
- Noises: Loud scratching, gnawing, and scurrying sounds, especially in the early mornings or late evenings, often originating from your loft, attic, or wall cavities.
- Damage: Chewed wires, timbers, plastic pipes, and insulation in your loft or crawl spaces. You might also spot holes around eaves or vents where they’ve gained entry.
- Droppings: Squirrel droppings are similar to rat droppings but usually a little larger, more cylindrical, and often found scattered rather than concentrated.
- Nests (Dreys): You might discover their nests, known as dreys, made from twigs, leaves, and insulation material, often in lofts or outbuildings.
- Sighting: Of course, seeing a squirrel entering or exiting your property is a clear sign.

Eradicating squirrels is only half the battle. Preventing their return is key to ensuring your Kingsteignton home or business remains pest-free. Squirrels are persistent, and if entry points aren't sealed, new ones will likely move in. Our professional proofing services are designed to secure your property against future infestations. This includes identifying and sealing all potential entry points such as gaps around eaves, damaged roof tiles, unsealed vents, and open chimneys. We use durable materials and proven techniques to make sure your property is no longer an inviting habitat for these agile pests.
