Signs of Flying Squirrels
A unique habit of the Southern Flying Squirrel is its habit of communal nesting, especially in the winter. And one of the main issues of a large number of flying squirrels over-wintering in an attic is the resultant large amount of squirrel poop.
Take, for instance, this home which had a large number of flying squirrels in it this winter.
Do you see all those brown streaks on the siding coming down from the soffit?
As you might suspect, it is the result of a large amount of squirrel feces and urine.
It’s pretty gross, but a good sign.
Here is a recent video which shoes the situation at another house close up.
Here’s Ryan describing the situation on an older video.
Flying Squirrel Removal and Repairs
In order to deal with this problem, we recommend:
- Removing the squirrels that are present
- Sealing up the house so squirrels can’t get back in
- Cleaning as needed
Removing the squirrels and sealing up the house go hand in hand. The squirrels can’t be effectively removed unless all possible entries are sealed. Since they are so small, sealing them out of a known winter gathering spot is a challenge. Frontline Animal Removal is up for the challenge.
