A Classic Flying Squirrel Entry Hole
Do you suspect you might have flying squirrels in your house?
In this post, we’ll show you a perfect example of a flying squirrel entry point. As Ryan points out in the video, this is a textbook example.
Flying Squirrels’ small openings, often located high up on houses can be hard to find. They are small and usually rounded. They’ll have staining around them. Often, they’ll take advantage of an already-existent construction gap. If you find something like this, however, you can be almost certain you have some flying squirrels using your house.
Flying Squirrel Insights
Flying squirrels are a bit different from the other squirrels we have here in Northeast Ohio in two primary ways.
- They are mainly nocturnal
- They are fairly social— Meaning they’ll live with other squirrels not in their immediate family unit
December is a good time of year for a post on flying squirrel removal because as it gets colder, they often look to upgrade from trees to inside of structures. This brings more of them into customers homes. One flying squirrel is hard to notice. But if multiple families move in, their activity becomes more noticeable.
Additionally, as we experience days with the longest periods of darkness, their activity times overlap more with our activity times. This gets them noticed more as well.
