Flying squirrels - colony exclusion

The nighttime noise in your attic, solved.

Flying squirrels are nocturnal and nest in colonies, so the scratching you hear at night is rarely one animal. They enter through small roofline gaps. We exclude the whole colony and seal the entries with branded exclusion products.

How flying squirrel work runs.

Colony nesters and small entry points mean the inspection has to be thorough - one missed gap keeps the colony fed.

01

Inspection and entry mapping

Find the small roofline and gable gaps they use and confirm the colony size from the nesting signs.

02

Colony exclusion

One-way exclusion sized for the whole colony so every animal leaves and none return.

03

Seal and remediate

Seal every entry with branded exclusion products, then clean nesting waste and remediate soiled insulation.

What's in the flying squirrel scope.

Flying squirrels are smaller than gray squirrels and slip through gaps a larger animal could not. Because they colony-nest, the exclusion has to clear the group, not a single animal.

This is part of our full wildlife removal and exclusion program. Damage repair and cleanup run through home repair and attic insulation.

Flying squirrel questions, answered.

How do I know it is flying squirrels and not regular squirrels?

Timing is the tell. Flying squirrels are nocturnal, so attic noise at night points to them, while gray squirrels are active by day. The inspection confirms it from the entry size and nesting signs.

Why is exclusion harder for these?

They nest in colonies and slip through gaps a larger animal could not, so a thorough entry map matters - missing one small opening and the colony keeps its access. We size the exclusion for the whole group.

Will sealing trap some inside?

No. One-way exclusion lets every animal out before the entries are permanently sealed. That sequencing is the point of the method.

Do you clean up after them?

Yes. Nesting debris and soiled insulation are handled through our cleanup and attic-insulation work.

One inspection finds the gaps, sizes the colony, and sets the exclusion plan.
