Trapping a few flying squirrels treats the symptom, not the cause. Flying squirrels live in colonies. If you trap two but miss five, the colony remains. Even if you trap them all, new flying squirrels will find the same entry points within weeks.
Most wildlife removal companies set a few snap traps and call it done. They miss the colony, leave entry points open, and you are back with the same problem – or worse – within months.
At A&A Wildlife, we are exclusion-first flying squirrel specialists. We do not close a job until your home is physically squirrel‑proof and the entire colony has been excluded. Our one‑way exclusion method removes the entire colony humanely and permanently.
Why flying squirrels are different from gray squirrels:
Nocturnal – You hear them at night, not during the day.
Colonial – They live in groups, not alone.
Gliders – They can access your roof from trees 20–30 feet away.
Food hoarders – They stash acorns and nuts in your insulation, attracting insects.
Our methods address all these unique challenges.
The following sections detail each core component of your comprehensive service offering, starting with the necessity of full exclusion following removal.
Flying squirrels are social creatures that live in colonies. Removing just one or two will not solve the problem – the rest of the colony remains. We use species-specific, humane methods to exclude the entire colony at once.
Our technicians:
Perform a thorough inspection of your roofline, soffits, fascia, vents, and chimney to identify all entry points (flying squirrels can squeeze through a gap as small as 1½ inches).
Determine the colony size (typically 5–20 individuals) by listening for vocalizations and examining droppings.
Install one‑way exclusion doors (exclusion funnels or tubes) at all primary entry points. Flying squirrels exit at dusk to forage and cannot re-enter.
Use multiple exclusion devices on larger colonies to ensure complete evacuation.
Never use poisons or snap traps – poison leads to dead animals in walls, and snap traps are inhumane and ineffective against colonies.
Monitor the colony over several nights to confirm full evacuation before sealing.
We comply with all Georgia DNR regulations for nuisance wildlife.
After the colony has been excluded, we permanently seal every potential entry point on your home’s exterior using professional-grade, squirrel-proof materials:
Galvanized steel mesh (heavy gauge) over attic vents, gable vents, soffit vents, and crawlspace vents.
Copper mesh + expanding foam for small cracks, pipe penetrations, and gaps in siding.
Roofline flashing repairs where flying squirrels enter at roof intersections.
Soffit and fascia sealing – flying squirrels often enter where soffit meets roofline.
Chimney caps to prevent access through flues.
Gutter guard installation to block access through roofline gaps near gutters.
Tree branch trimming to remove overhanging limbs that provide jumping access to the roof.
Result: Your home becomes physically flying‑squirrel‑proof. No future colony can enter.
Flying squirrel colonies leave behind droppings, urine, food caches (acorns, nuts), and parasites – all health hazards. Their urine soaks through insulation, and their droppings can carry leptospirosis and salmonella. We restore your attic through:
HEPA vacuum removal of all contaminated insulation, droppings, food caches, and nesting debris.
Hospital‑grade disinfectant fogging to kill bacteria, viruses, and odors.
Parasite control for fleas, ticks, mites, and lice that flying squirrels carry.
New insulation installation (fiberglass or spray foam) to restore energy efficiency.
Odor neutralization to eliminate ammonia smells from urine.
Structural damage repair for chewed wood, wiring, or drywall.
Flying squirrels cause damage that must be professionally repaired:
Chewed electrical wiring – Fire hazard, requires replacement.
Chewed wood framing and drywall – Especially around entry points and nesting areas.
Insulation destruction – Urine and droppings saturate and compress insulation.
HVAC duct damage – Flying squirrels sometimes chew through flexible ductwork.
Soffit and fascia repair where entry holes were created.
We don't cut corners. Every rodent job follows the same proven system: inspect, remove, exclude, restore. Here's how we make your home rodent-proof permanently.
Licensed specialist inspects attic, roofline, soffits, vents, and chimney to locate flying squirrel entry points (gaps as small as 1½ inches), colony size, and nesting sites.
One‑way exclusion doors installed at active entry points allow flying squirrels to exit at dusk but not re‑enter; live traps used for remaining colony members – no poisons or killing.
Every gap ¼ inch or larger is sealed with steel mesh, copper wool, vent covers, and roofline repairs.
HEPA vacuum removal of droppings, urine‑soaked insulation, and nesting debris; hospital‑grade disinfectant fogging, new insulation installed, and odor neutralization.

Flying squirrels are more than a nocturnal nuisance – they contaminate your attic, carry diseases, and cause structural damage.
Leptospirosis – Bacterial infection from urine contact. Salmonella – From droppings. Tularemia – Rare but possible from contact with infected squirrels. Parasites – Fleas, ticks, mites, and lice that can spread to pets and humans.
Chewed electrical wiring – Leading cause of house fires. Chewed wood framing and drywall – Especially around entry points. Insulation destruction – Urine and droppings saturate and compress insulation, destroying R-value. HVAC duct damage – Chewed flexible ducts reduce efficiency.
Flying squirrel colonies produce large amounts of droppings and urine. A colony of 15 squirrels can saturate an entire attic section within months. Food caches (acorns, nuts) attract insects and rodents.
Fleas, ticks, and mites live on rodents. When rodents enter your home, these parasites spread to your pets and family members.
Food caches attract ants, beetles, and other insects. Abandoned nests attract other wildlife.
Contaminated, compressed insulation loses its R-value, leading to higher heating and cooling bills.
We provide professional flying squirrel removal across North Atlanta and surrounding communities.
Answers to the most common questions homeowners ask about flying squirrel removal, exclusion, costs, and colony behavior.
Yes. We provide a 100% free, no-obligation inspection that includes a written report with photos of entry points, droppings, food caches, and damage. You only pay when you approve work.
Most residential flying squirrel jobs range vary depending on colony size, number of entry points, and whether attic restoration is needed. Larger colonies (15+ squirrels) with extensive contamination cost more. We provide a fixed price upfront – no hourly surprises.
Often, yes – especially when flying squirrels cause structural damage like chewed wiring, torn insulation, or roofline breaches. We provide detailed documentation and photos to support your claim. Check your specific policy.
Flying squirrel removal typically refers to trapping individual squirrels. Flying squirrel exclusion uses one‑way doors to remove the entire colony at once and then seals entry points permanently. Exclusion is the only effective method for colonial species. We perform exclusion.
No. We never use poisons or inhumane traps. Poison would cause flying squirrels to die inside walls, creating unbearable odors and attracting insects. We use humane one‑way exclusion doors only.
Most flying squirrel jobs take 7–14 days from initial inspection to final sealing. The one‑way exclusion doors remain in place for 5–10 nights to ensure the entire colony has exited. After removal, sealing and attic restoration take another 2–3 days.
Yes. We have extensive experience removing colonies of 20 or more flying squirrels from attics. Our multiple‑exclusion‑door method is designed for colonial species. We monitor with night vision and listening devices to confirm complete evacuation.
All flying squirrel exclusion work comes with a minimum 1-year warranty. If a flying squirrel ever re-enters through a sealed point we installed, we come back and repair it at no charge.
See real jobs as they happen – from attic cleanouts to roofline repairs. We post daily photos and videos of actual wildlife exclusions, before/after transformations, and tips for Atlanta homeowners.
