These agile rodents can cause significant damage to properties and are a real nuisance. At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand the unique challenges squirrels pose in Cornish properties. With 20 years of hands-on experience in pest management, we offer professional, humane, and effective squirrel control and proofing solutions across Wadebridge and the surrounding areas.

Why Professional Squirrel Control is Essential for Your Wadebridge Property
Squirrels might look cute, but they are far from harmless when they take up residence in your home or commercial premises. They don't just make a racket; they can cause extensive and costly damage. Their constant gnawing can strip electrical cables, creating a serious fire hazard, destroy insulation, contaminate water tanks, and even compromise the structural integrity of timber. Trying to deal with squirrels yourself often leads to frustration and can even be dangerous, as agitated squirrels can bite. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians have the expertise and specialist equipment to safely and effectively remove squirrels and implement long-term prevention strategies, protecting your property and giving you peace of mind.

Who We Are
Our Effective Squirrel Control Process in North Cornwall
At Moorlander Pest Control, we don't just react to the problem; we get to the root of it. Our comprehensive squirrel control service for properties in and around Wadebridge follows a proven process:
- Thorough Inspection: Our experienced team will carry out a detailed site survey to identify squirrel entry points, nesting areas, the extent of the infestation, and any damage caused. This crucial step ensures we understand the specific problem you’re facing.
- Strategic Treatment: Based on our findings, we'll implement a tailored treatment plan. This typically involves the humane trapping and removal of squirrels using professional-grade equipment. We adhere strictly to relevant wildlife laws, ensuring responsible and ethical practices.
- Robust Proofing & Prevention: Once the squirrels are gone, our work isn't finished. We'll advise on and implement effective proofing measures to seal off entry points, preventing future infestations. This might involve repairing damaged areas, reinforcing vents, or blocking access points in your roofline. Our aim is always a long-term solution.

Squirrels are surprisingly common in residential and commercial areas, especially those near woodland or large gardens, which is often the case around Wadebridge. Look out for these tell-tale signs:
- Noises: The most common indicator is scratching, scuttling, or gnawing sounds coming from your loft, walls, or even under floorboards, especially in the early morning or late evening.
- Droppings: Squirrel droppings are similar to rat droppings but usually a bit larger (around 10mm long) and often more cylindrical, found in concentrated areas like the loft.
- Damage: You might notice gnaw marks on timber, electrical cables (a serious hazard!), pipework, or stored items in your attic. Insulation can look disturbed, torn, or compressed.
- Drey (Nest): In your loft, you might find a drey – a spherical nest made of twigs, leaves, and insulation material.
- Visual Sightings: Seeing squirrels frequently on your roof, climbing walls, or entering/exiting your property indicates a potential internal infestation.
