Flying Squirrel Removal

At Bug Bully Rodent & Pest Control, our Flying Squirrel Removal process is designed with homeowners in mind. We understand that discovering flying squirrels in your attic or walls can be stressful, confusing, and disruptive. Our goal is to provide a clear, humane, and effective solution that protects your home, your health, and the animals themselves. Below is an overview of how our process works and what you can expect at each stage.

Initial inspection and accurate identification

Every successful flying squirrel removal begins with a thorough inspection. Homeowners want certainty about what is actually living in their home, and flying squirrels are often mistaken for mice, bats, or chipmunks because of their size and nighttime activity. Our trained technicians carefully inspect attic spaces, rooflines, soffits, vents, and exterior access points to confirm the presence of flying squirrels.

During this inspection, we look for nesting areas, droppings, entry holes, and travel paths. We also assess insulation damage, chewing activity, and any conditions that may be attracting wildlife. Homeowners appreciate knowing not just that squirrels are present, but how they got in and why they chose that space. We take the time to explain our findings in plain language so there are no surprises.

Humane removal using one way doors

A key concern for many homeowners is whether flying squirrel removal is humane. At Bug Bully, humane practices are central to our process. We do not use poisons or harmful trapping methods. Instead, we rely on professionally installed one way doors, sometimes called exclusion devices.

These one way doors are placed over the primary entry points used by the flying squirrels. They allow the squirrels to exit the structure naturally during their normal nighttime activity but prevent them from getting back inside. This method respects the animal’s natural behavior and avoids unnecessary harm. Over several nights, all squirrels leave the attic or wall space on their own.

Timing is critical with this step. If young squirrels are present, removal must be carefully scheduled to avoid separating mothers from their offspring. Homeowners often worry about noises getting worse or animals dying inside walls, and this humane approach is specifically designed to prevent those outcomes.

Monitoring and confirmation of success

Once the one way doors are installed, we do not simply walk away. Homeowners want reassurance that the problem is truly resolved. Our team monitors activity to confirm that all flying squirrels have exited the structure. We look for a noticeable reduction in nighttime noise, new droppings, or movement patterns.

Only after we are confident that the home is completely squirrel free do we move on to the next phase. This careful monitoring helps ensure the removal is effective and prevents accidental lock in or return of animals. Clear communication during this stage helps homeowners feel informed and in control of the process.

Sealing entry points and exclusion work

Flying squirrel removal is not complete without proper exclusion. One of the biggest frustrations homeowners face is when animals return after a short period of time. To prevent this, Bug Bully focuses heavily on sealing all potential entry points once removal is complete.

We repair and secure gaps along rooflines, fascia boards, vents, and other vulnerable areas. Flying squirrels can squeeze through very small openings, so attention to detail is essential. This exclusion work protects your home not only from flying squirrels, but also from other wildlife that may attempt to take advantage of the same access points.

Homeowners value this step because it provides long term protection rather than a temporary fix. We also explain which repairs are critical and which are preventative, so you understand exactly what is being done and why.

Attic assessment and damage considerations

Flying squirrels often nest in insulation, and over time this can reduce energy efficiency and create odors. As part of our process, we assess the condition of your attic and other affected areas. While full insulation replacement or restoration may not always be necessary, homeowners want to know the condition of their space after animals have been removed.

We provide honest recommendations based on what we see, focusing on health, safety, and comfort. This transparency helps homeowners make informed decisions about next steps without pressure.

Safety, cleanliness, and peace of mind

Homeowners are understandably concerned about health risks when wildlife has been living inside their home. Flying squirrels can introduce droppings, urine, and parasites into attic spaces. Our removal process prioritizes safety by minimizing contact, using appropriate protective measures, and following best practices for wildlife control.

We also work cleanly and respectfully within your home. Our technicians treat your property as if it were their own, which is especially important when working in lived in spaces. Clear explanations, punctual service, and respectful behavior are all part of the experience homeowners expect and receive.

Education and prevention guidance

An important part of the Bug Bully Flying Squirrel Removal process is homeowner education. We explain what attracted the squirrels in the first place and how to reduce the risk of future issues. This may include trimming branches away from the roof, maintaining exterior repairs, or scheduling periodic inspections.

By understanding the conditions that invite flying squirrels, homeowners feel more confident about maintaining a protected home. Prevention guidance adds lasting value beyond the immediate removal.
