Important Considerations:
Where to Find Them on Your Property?
You can find Flying Squirrels in your attic where they can keep you up with their nocturnal activity, and potentially cause odor and damage with their urine. Otherwise, they likely will not reside anywhere else in your home. They like to form their habitats the most in places like woodlots, trees, and mixed forests. They feed on items such as acorns, nuts, seeds, berries and bird eggs.
