Professional Squirrel Control in Lostwithiel & Across Cornwall
Finding squirrels in your home, especially scurrying around in the loft, can be a real shock and a significant nuisance. These seemingly harmless creatures can actually cause extensive damage to your property, gnawing through timber, insulation, and even electrical wiring, which poses a serious fire risk. If you're hearing scratching, rustling, or thumping noises above your head in Lostwithiel or the surrounding Cornish communities, it’s highly likely you have an unwanted squirrel tenant. At Moorlander Pest Control, we provide effective, humane, and long-term squirrel removal solutions, drawing on 20 years of experience tackling pest problems for homes and businesses across Devon and Cornwall.
Why Choose Us?
Spotting the Signs of a Squirrel Infestation in Your Home
Often, the first indication of squirrels in your property isn't seeing them, but hearing them. Squirrels are most active during the day, particularly in the early morning and late afternoon, unlike nocturnal rodents like rats or mice. Listen out for persistent scratching, scurrying, or even gnawing sounds coming from your loft, wall cavities, or even under the floorboards. You might also notice disturbed loft insulation, chewed timbers, or even droppings – which are typically pellet-shaped, larger than mouse droppings, and similar in size to a raisin. If you find food debris like nut shells or gnawed fruit in unusual places indoors, it's another clear sign you have a visitor.

Who We Are
Why Professional Squirrel Removal is Crucial for Your Property
While a grey squirrel might look cute in the garden, inside your home, they are destructive pests. They possess an innate need to gnaw to keep their teeth sharp, which leads them to chew on anything from wooden beams and pipework to crucial electrical cables. This damage isn't just costly to repair; it can compromise the structural integrity of your home and, critically, create fire hazards. Beyond structural damage, squirrels can also contaminate areas with their droppings and urine, and they can carry fleas, bringing secondary pest problems into your living space. Attempting DIY removal can be dangerous and often ineffective, as squirrels are intelligent and resilient.
