Flying Squirrel Removal | Integrated Wildlife Management Inc
We provide humane flying squirrel removal, thorough exclusion, and long-term prevention to protect your attic, wiring, and home from repeat intrusions.
Humane Flying Squirrel Control That Protects Your Home Long Term
At Integrated Wildlife Management Inc, we take flying squirrel infestations seriously because these agile nocturnal animals can cause hidden damage fast. When flying squirrels move into attics or wall voids, they chew wiring, shred insulation, and leave droppings that affect air quality. We start every job with a careful inspection to confirm activity, locate nesting zones, and identify every access point being used.
From there, we remove flying squirrels safely and humanely, then seal your home with durable exclusion materials designed to stop future entry. Our goal is to solve the immediate problem and reinforce your property against repeat issues, so you get lasting safety and peace of mind.
Early Signs of Flying Squirrel Infestations
Because they are most active at night, the first clue is often sound. If you hear scratching, scurrying, or light movement in the attic after dark, flying squirrels may already be nesting overhead. We also look for small droppings and urine staining near rafters, insulation piles, or attic entry points. Their droppings can resemble mouse droppings, so proper identification is important.
Another sign is physical damage. Flying squirrels gnaw on wiring, wood edges, ductwork, and stored materials, which can create electrical hazards and costly repairs. We inspect rooflines, vents, soffits, and eaves for small holes or gaps where flying squirrels can squeeze inside. If you notice any of these warning signs, acting quickly prevents a minor intrusion from becoming a major infestation.

Our Humane Flying Squirrel Removal Methods
We begin with a detailed attic and exterior inspection to map high-activity zones and determine how the animals are entering. This step guides trap placement and ensures we remove the entire colony, not just the most visible individuals.
We typically use live traps built for small mammals, placing them near entry points or travel routes where flying squirrels naturally move. We monitor traps frequently to minimize stress and speed up removal. Once captured, flying squirrels are relocated to suitable habitat in accordance with local wildlife requirements. After removal, we confirm that activity has fully stopped before moving into exclusion.
Flying Squirrel Exclusion to Prevent Re-Entry
Flying squirrels can enter through gaps larger than a quarter inch, so our exclusion work is precise and comprehensive. We inspect all common entry zones, including attic vents, roofline joints, fascia edges, eaves, and utility penetrations. Any opening that could be used again gets reinforced.
We seal these areas using durable, chew-resistant materials such as steel mesh, hardware cloth, and professional-grade sealants that withstand weather and persistent wildlife pressure. We also recommend trimming overhanging branches that give flying squirrels an easy launch point to the roof. With strong exclusion in place, your home becomes a far less inviting target for future intrusions.
Safety and Property Concerns We Address
Their chewing can damage electrical wiring and increase fire risk. They also tear insulation for nesting, reducing energy efficiency and leaving exposed areas that impact heating and cooling performance. Droppings and urine add a sanitation concern that can degrade indoor air quality, especially when moisture is present.
To protect your property, we focus on three key safety steps. First, we conduct thorough inspections to identify damage and active zones early. Second, we remove animals humanely and completely, making sure no nesting pockets are missed. Third, we seal every access point using reliable exclusion materials so flying squirrels cannot return. This full-scope approach removes current hazards and reinforces long-term home protection.
