Professional Mole and Grey Squirrel Control Across North East and Central Scotland

Moles and grey squirrels cause significant damage to gardens, grounds, and buildings. Moles can devastate lawns, sports pitches, and agricultural land with their tunnel networks, while grey squirrels entering loft spaces can chew through electrical wiring, insulation, and roof timbers, creating serious fire and structural risks. At Pest King, our NPTA registered technicians provide professional, humane control of both species across Aberdeen, Dundee & Angus, Perth, and Stirling. All work is carried out in full compliance with UK wildlife legislation.

Mole activity is a persistent problem across the region's rural and semi-rural properties. Perthshire's golf courses — including many of the famous courses around Auchterarder and Crieff — and the county's agricultural land in the Carse of Gowrie and Strathmore Valley experience significant mole pressure. Aberdeenshire's rural gardens and farmland, Angus's agricultural estates, and Stirlingshire's parkland and golf courses around Bridge of Allan and Dunblane also generate regular call-outs. Grey squirrel problems are most common in properties adjacent to mature woodland or parkland, which is widespread across all four areas we serve. In Aberdeen, the city's parks and mature suburban trees in areas like Mannofield, Cults, and Bieldside provide ideal squirrel habitat close to residential properties. In Stirling, properties near the King's Park and the Ochil Hills corridor see regular squirrel loft entry.

Common Signs Of An Infestation

Molehills: mounds of loose soil appearing across lawns or fields
Raised surface runs or ridges of soil across garden areas
Uneven ground or subsidence caused by tunnel collapse
Scratching or scurrying sounds in loft spaces or roof voids
Gnawed timbers, insulation, or electrical cables in the loft
Grey squirrels seen entering or exiting the roofline or eaves

Why This Is A Serious Problem

Mole tunnels undermine lawns, sports pitches, and agricultural land
Molehills create trip hazards and damage mowing equipment
Grey squirrels in lofts chew electrical wiring, creating a serious fire risk
Squirrel damage to roof timbers and insulation can be costly to repair
Grey squirrels strip bark from trees, killing young woodland
Grey squirrels are an invasive species; releasing a trapped one is illegal

Prevention

How To Reduce The Risk

Proof roof entry points: seal gaps around eaves, fascias, and soffits
Trim tree branches that overhang or touch the roofline
Remove bird feeders or use squirrel-proof designs to reduce attractants
Keep gardens tidy and remove dense ground cover near buildings
Install underground barriers around high-value garden areas or sports pitches
Check loft spaces regularly for signs of squirrel activity
Report mole activity early before tunnel networks become extensive
