Droppings in Piles

Activity After Dark

They leave every night and glide up to 200 feet from nearby trees onto your roof.

Flying Squirrels in Your Home Cause Serious Damage

Fire Risk from Chewed Wiring

They chew electrical wires, HVAC wiring, and recessed lighting. A spark that reaches the insulation can start a fire.

Heavy Urine and Droppings

Flying squirrels leave more urine and droppings than bats, and they pile it up in latrines the way raccoons do.

Contaminated Insulation

Waste soaks into attic insulation. The damage often isn’t visible until the insulation is pulled back.

Staining and Rub Marks

Oils from their bodies leave dark stains around the openings they use to get in and out of your home.

Our Flying Squirrel Removal Process — Start to Finish 

Full Inspection

We identify the species from the droppings and find every entry point on your home.

Trapping When Needed

For the fastest results, we trap first to quickly reduce the number of squirrels inside.

Full Exclusion

We get them out and seal the house so they can’t get back in.

Attic Decontamination

We clean out the heavy urine and droppings flying squirrels leave behind.

Insulation Replacement

We remove contaminated insulation and replace it with TAP insulation.

Don't Try to Handle This Yourself

Trapping alone won’t solve it. Unless the house is sealed, more squirrels will move in.

The damage is hidden. Chewed wiring and contaminated insulation usually aren’t visible until the insulation is pulled back.

Entry points are up high. Flying squirrels glide onto the roofline, so the openings they use are often on the highest parts of the home.

This calls for licensed professionals. Every ProSource technician holds a wildlife license, and the company is licensed for HIC, wildlife, and pest control work.

What Does Flying Squirrel Removal Cost?

Pricing is set after an on-site inspection and depends on your home’s square footage, height, and squirrel species.

100% Financing Available

No money down. Interest depends on credit. Ask us at your inspection.

Pest Control Company Near You in Waterbury, CT for Flying Squirrel Removal

Do you hear loud noises in your attic at night, or scurrying and scraping inside your walls? Most homeowners assume it’s mice, but in Connecticut it’s often flying squirrels. They’re nocturnal, they leave every night, and they glide onto homes from nearby trees. At ProSource Pest Solutions, we specialize in flying squirrel removal and exclusion, getting them out and sealing your home so they can’t return.

Signs Flying Squirrels Are Living in Your Home

Recognize the signs early. Here are the key indicators that flying squirrels have moved into your attic or walls:

Noises: Scurrying, scraping, or screaming sounds overhead or inside walls at night.

Droppings: Heavy droppings, often piled in one spot as a latrine. Text us a photo and our technicians can identify the species.

Stains: Dark stains and rub marks from body oils where they enter and exit your home.

Chewed Wiring: Damaged electrical wires, HVAC wiring, or recessed lighting in the attic.

Nighttime Activity: Movement along your roofline after dark, when they glide in from nearby trees.

Where Do Flying Squirrels Usually Live?

Flying squirrels live in trees, and they can glide up to 200 feet from a branch onto your roof. They’re active from October through winter, and attics give them a warm, quiet place to stay during the cold months. Homes near wooded areas are especially at risk.

How Do Flying Squirrels Get Into the House?

Flying squirrels land on the roofline and get in through openings along the upper parts of your home. Once inside, they move through attics and walls, chewing wiring and contaminating insulation. The damage is often invisible until the insulation is pulled back.

How Can ProSource Pest Solutions Help

At ProSource Pest Solutions, we take an exclusion-first approach: get them out and seal the house. Every job starts with an on-site inspection, where our technicians identify the species and find every entry point. Depending on your needs, we combine quick trapping with full exclusion or rely on exclusion alone. Afterward, we offer attic decontamination and insulation removal and replacement with TAP insulation to repair the contamination flying squirrels leave behind. Every technician holds a wildlife license, and the owner personally follows up on larger wildlife estimates.

Common Questions

  • Why do I have flying squirrels?

    Flying squirrels live in trees and can glide up to 200 feet onto your roof. From October through winter, they look for warm, quiet shelter, and openings along your roofline give them access to your attic and walls.

  • How do I know if it’s flying squirrels and not mice?

    Most homeowners assume it’s mice. Loud noises at night, including screaming sounds, are a common sign of flying squirrels. You can text us a photo of the droppings for a quick read, and every job includes an on-site inspection to confirm the species.

  • What does flying squirrel removal cost?

    Cost depends on your home’s square footage, its height, and the species involved. Flying squirrels require more exclusion work than gray or red squirrels. Wildlife inspections are $149, and the fee is waived when you book service.

  • Do you just trap the squirrels?

    No. Our goal is to get them out and seal the house so they can’t come back. Depending on your needs, we combine quick trapping with full exclusion or rely on exclusion alone.

  • Do I need to replace my insulation?

    Often, yes. Flying squirrels leave heavy urine and droppings that soak into insulation. We offer attic decontamination and insulation removal and replacement with TAP insulation.

    Flying squirrels are most active from October through winter. Their season begins around the first frost, right as bat season ends.

  • Can I finance the flying squirrel removal job?

    Yes. ProSource Pest Solutions offers 100% financing with no money down. Interest depends on your credit. Ask us at your inspection.

  • How can I pay for the flying squirrel removal?

    We accept major credit cards, checks, and cash. We’ll go over payment details and scheduling with you before service begins.

  • Do you also remove bats?

    Yes. Bat season runs before flying squirrel season, and we handle bat removal and exclusion as well.
