Squirrel Control Liskeard & Cornwall: Protecting Your Home from Gnawing Pests
Discovering squirrels in your loft, walls, or even your living space can be a real headache.

At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand the specific challenges property owners in Liskeard and across Devon and Cornwall face. With 20 years of hands-on experience, our local and independent team provides expert, humane, and effective squirrel control services designed to get your home or business premises back to normal, fast.

Why Grey Squirrels are More Than Just a Nuisance
While a squirrel scampering in the garden might seem charming, a squirrel indoors is a serious problem. Grey squirrels are prolific gnawers; their front teeth grow continuously, forcing them to chew on almost anything to keep them worn down. This often includes crucial elements of your home's structure and systems. We've seen first-hand the damage they can inflict, from stripped electrical wiring that poses a fire risk, to ruined loft insulation, damaged water pipes, and weakened structural timbers. Beyond the costly repairs, their presence can be incredibly disruptive, with persistent scratching and scampering noises keeping you awake, especially in quiet areas like Liskeard. Professional pest control is essential to prevent extensive property damage and ensure the safety of your home.

Spotting the Signs of a Squirrel Infestation in Your Property
Catching a squirrel problem early can save you a lot of trouble and expense. Here are the key indicators our qualified technicians look for during an inspection:
- Noises: You'll often hear them before you see them. Listen for scratching, gnawing, scuttling, or chattering sounds coming from your loft, wall cavities, or even under your floorboards, especially during the day.
- Droppings: Squirrel droppings are similar in shape to rat droppings but generally larger, cylindrical, and often found in concentrated areas near their nests or feeding spots.
- Gnaw Marks: Look for distinctive chew marks on timber, plastic, or wiring, particularly in your loft or around entry points. These marks will be more substantial than those left by mice.
- Visual Sightings: Seeing a squirrel inside your property, or frequently entering/exiting your roof, shed, or garage, is a clear sign of an infestation.
- Damage to Property: Beyond gnawing, squirrels might cause damage to bird feeders, garden furniture, or even entry holes in fascias or soffits around your roofline.
