Flying squirrel removal is not an exact science.
Every job is different, of course, but we will
typically handle the seal-out similar to other
animals, going around the structure and
sealing any openings, much like a grey squirrel
job. However, a flying squirrel job more
typically needs to be performed at the same
level as a bat job. Flying squirrels are small
enough that they can squeeze into a hole that
is the width of even just ¾-inch!

When attempting to rid the home of the animals, it is important to know that "flyers" are
a protected animal in New Jersey, so in order to control them, a company must hold a
valid state depredation permit. Without a permit, one can’t even affect their nesting area.
For flying squirrels, sometimes it is appropriate to set traps in an attic. Sometimes it
makes more sense to set traps only on the outside of the house. The key for this animal
is that everything needs to be sealed.
When it’s a small colony, we often find it’s the beginning of the problem. When dealing
with a big colony it often seems we’re not the first company to try to fix the problem,
having been brought in after a previous abatement attempt has failed. Because flying
squirrels tend to migrate into different roost areas depending on weather conditions and
environment, sometimes a less reputable company may perform a "flying squirrel
abatement" to a lesser degree in March or April - when the attic is still relatively
temperate - and then give the customer a three month warranty. The problem with this is
that flyers commonly leave the attic in the summer because it’s too hot, but return to old
nesting sites in the autumn... just in time for that warranty to expire. Clearly, in these
cases, the homes were never properly sealed in the first place and the animals left for
more comfortable conditions throughout the summer months. But the holes remain, so
they find their way back in.
Flying squirrels may also vacate a structure temporarily because of human activity (this is
more common with a small colony). Occasionally we’ll have a house that has a flying
squirrel concern, but we may never catch one if they are disturbed by our presence alone
during, for example, our inspection. Sometimes that disturbance is enough to encourage
them to make their way out prior to the seal-out. But if you don’t seal up the house, you
can be sure these little creatures will be back!
