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!
