How to Get Rid of Flying Squirrels?

Small rodents from squirrel family, they do not actually fly, they glide from one tree to another with the help of flaps connected from both front feet to back feet. Flying squirrels like to live in numbers which means they are colonizing. However, if there are flying squirrels in your house or attic, you should be worrying about issues caused by them such as wood is chewed as well as electrical wires. Moreover, they produce bad odor if in large groups. If they are inside, they will glide around over ceilings which is going to make noises at nights.



Preventions

Before deciding to call a wildlife operator, it is beneficial for you to know that taking matters into your own hands will be fruitful as compared to the calling option. Reason being the wildlife control company is going to cost you a lot. If you do it on your own, you have to make use of the ‘prevention is better than cure’ quote. Now starting with the tree part, you have to make sure that the trees are trimmed enough around your house that the squirrels don’t get enough area to glide and search for food over your roof and into the house eventually.

Use of Fences

Also, check for vents, entry holes or other similar vulnerabilities and fill them up to avoid squirrel intrusion. Create galvanized fences at the boundary of your house with sharp edges. Moreover, traps work decent in the case of squirrels but not as effective. Basic mouse trap might get the most of them but it is hard to attract.

Killing is Not the Solution

Using chemical repellents or sprays to kill rodents might not be a good option. If you do not know the existence area, it will be a hectic task. Killing will do you no good as these are easy to get rid of so why opt for killing.
