If you have been hearing strange noises in your attic at night, chances are you might have flying squirrels. Flying squirrel control is necessary because they are nocturnal and they often leave their nests because of parasites that might have taken over. The problem is, when they come into your attic seeking safe haven, they often bring some of these parasites (such as fleas) with them. In addition to gnawing on wires and soiling your insulation with their excrement, they can also get fleas on your pet! Another reason that flying squirrel control is needed is that they might seek shelter is to hide from predators. The flying squirrel is quite a popular prey item among arboreal snakes, owls, and others.
These little guys can create quite a ruckus and can keep you up at night. Often, it will be a female with babies that will be found in attics, nesting in insulation. Flying squirrels have babies at least once a year, in the spring, but if conditions are favorable, they will have babies again in the fall!
Perhaps the most interesting feature of flying squirrels is their ability to glide - they do not actually fly. They do this by stretching out their patagium, a flap of skin attached to the forelegs and the hind legs. They can sometimes be seen gliding from branch to branch and right into your attic!
