Understanding Your Squirrel Problem: Signs and Risks
Often, the first sign of squirrels in your property is the noise – scratching, scuttling, and chattering sounds, particularly in the early morning or late evening, coming from your loft, walls, or even under floorboards. You might also find droppings (larger and more cylindrical than mouse droppings) or visible signs of gnawing on timbers, pipes, or wiring. The damage they inflict can be substantial; once inside, grey squirrels will often build dreys (nests) and start to breed, quickly escalating a minor nuisance into a full-blown infestation. Beyond the structural harm, their droppings and urine can contaminate areas, posing potential health risks. Dealing with squirrels requires a professional approach, not just for effective removal but also to ensure compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which protects these animals until they become pests.

Who We Are
Our Expert & Ethical Approach to Squirrel Removal
At Moorlander Pest Control, we don't just react to the problem; we get to the root of it. Our comprehensive squirrel control service begins with a thorough site survey of your Launceston property. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians will meticulously inspect your loft, roofline, and exterior to identify how squirrels are gaining access and the extent of their activity. Following this assessment, we implement a tailored plan that typically involves humane trapping methods. Once captured, squirrels are dealt with professionally and legally, in strict accordance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. This ensures that the process is not only effective but also ethical and responsible. We take pride in our professional yet friendly service, providing peace of mind from start to finish.
