Expert Squirrel Control & Removal in Plymouth & Devon
Squirrels might look cute in the park, but when they move into your loft or crawl space, they become a real pest. These agile rodents, particularly the grey squirrel, can cause significant damage to your home or commercial premises. From gnawing through electrical cables and wooden beams to tearing up insulation for nesting, a squirrel infestation can quickly become a serious and costly problem. Here at Moorlander Pest Control, we understand the stress and damage these unwelcome guests can cause. We provide effective and humane squirrel control services across Plymouth, Tavistock, Saltash, and the wider Devon and Cornwall region.

Who We Are
Our Professional Approach to Squirrel Control & Prevention
Our approach to squirrel control is thorough and responsible, focusing on long-term prevention, not just immediate removal.
- Detailed Inspection: Every service begins with a comprehensive inspection of your home or premises. Our qualified technicians will identify how squirrels are gaining access (ingress points), locate nesting areas, and assess the extent of the infestation. We’ll look for common entry points like gaps in fascia boards, missing roof tiles, or vents.
- Strategic & Humane Control: Based on our inspection, we’ll deploy the most appropriate and humane control methods. This often involves carefully placed, professional-grade traps to safely remove the squirrels. Our team’s specialist qualifications, including the Marksman Qualification, mean we can deal with challenges precisely and safely.
- Proofing & Exclusion: Getting rid of the existing squirrels is only half the battle. We then focus on crucial squirrel proofing work to stop them coming back. This includes advising on and implementing repairs to seal entry points, protecting vulnerable areas, and making your property less attractive to these pests. This comprehensive range of work is what sets us apart.
We understand the specific legal requirements for grey squirrel control in the UK and operate strictly within these guidelines.

Squirrels are often masters of stealth, but they do leave clues. If you suspect you have a squirrel problem in your loft or walls, look out for these common signs:
- Noises: Loud scratching, scurrying, or thumping sounds coming from your loft, walls, or ceiling, especially in the early morning or late afternoon.
- Damage: Chewed electrical wires (a significant fire hazard!), gnawed timber, damaged insulation, or torn up loft lining. You might also find evidence of nuts or other food stashes.
- Droppings: Small, dark droppings similar to large rat droppings, often found in the loft or near entry points.
- Drey/Nest Material: Evidence of nesting materials like leaves, twigs, and insulation packed into corners or cavities.
- Sighting: Occasionally seeing squirrels entering or exiting your roofline or specific holes in your property.
If you notice any of these signs, don’t delay. Call us today for a professional inspection.
