Ohio Flying Squirrels – Habits & Control

Flying squirrels are unofficially the ninja of the Rodentia world. They are arguably the cutest ninjas you will ever meet. These critters are skilled at concealing themselves, engaging in amazing aerial acrobatics, and infiltrating the local attic. They don’t need to chew holes to gain entry either; all they need is a hole or gap as small as ¾ of an inch! A hole this small can normally occur in-house architecture and construction. Like mice and bats, they can flatten themselves to fit into these minute crevices and gaps.

A sign that you may have a flying squirrel taking up residence in your attic would be loud noises at night and early in the morning. It is often described as running, scurrying, banging around and rolling nuts. Flying squirrels live the nightlife with enthusiasm, and enjoy tumbling and flying about interior attic spaces. Obviously, this can prove disturbing for those trying to catch up on sleep. Their natural den sites are hollow sections of trees in large mature woods. Homes that are built in proximity to mature woodlots are more vulnerable to flying squirrel entry. Northern Columbus is a hot spot for these critters, including areas such as Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Lewis Center and Delaware. They can be seen anywhere, but many homes in these areas are surrounded by beautiful, mature trees which squirrels love. The best way to solve a flying squirrel problem is to locate all of their entry holes on the roof, trap and relocate them, and then perform the necessary repairs to seal their entry points. These are all things that Buckeye Wildlife Solutions technicians are trained and happy to do for you in a timely and professional manner.
