Bigfoot Flying Squirrel Control

Flying squirrels are a common nuisance animal that gains entry into structures around the mountainous region areas from North Georgia and North Carolina.
Both the northern and southern flying squirrels can enter an area the size of a quarter.
Often times they tend to enter structures at the highest points such as ridge vent systems, roof vents, soffit junction gaps, gable louvre vents, pipe boots, and roof deck/ fascia transition gaps.

Flying squirrels will also enter areas below the gutter lines such as soffit vents, siding/ trim gaps, log chinking gaps, window and door trim gaps, exhaust vents, holes around pipes, and various chimney areas.

Flying Squirrels In Home

When flying squirrels are inside of a home or cabin, the noises often sound like running, chewing, scratching, and rolling of nuts/ acorns. Often described to us by clients as “miniature bowling “ in the ceiling and vaulted areas. This is due to the flying squirrel often playing with the food or rolling it to the food cache areas. Often times clients will hear a loud thud on the roof of the structure followed by a quick scampered running into the attic space. This is usually when the flying squirrel leaps from a nearby tree and glides downward to the roof or siding of the structure, grabs hold, then proceeds to run into one of the gaps in the cabin/ house.

Sealing of these open gaps and areas on structures is the best way to keep out unwanted flying squirrels and other visitors.
Utilizing metal is definitely the best option.
Bigfoot Wildlife Solutions performs Wildlife exclusion services to get the flying squirrels out of cabins / houses and keep them out.

Some areas can have one way devices temporarily installed after performing full exclusion services on the property. Others can be trapped with a box/ cage trapping program.
Depending on the species (northern or southern flying squirrel), and the region of mountains/ state the property is located in, (Georgia has different regulations than North Carolina). These methods also depend on the structure. Harder to reach and maintain areas will be treated differently than others.

Performing flying squirrel exclusion work on cabins and mountain houses is a specialized trade that we have perfected over the years.
Metal , mortar, and premium sealants are utilized on every exclusion job.
