Flying squirrels may not live up to
their names, but they certainly can cause a lot of trouble. This
species of squirrel does not literally fly, as bats and birds would,
but rather, flying squirrels glide between trees. If they glide their
way into your homes however, Alco Animal and Pest Control is
available for squirrel removal in Jersey City, as well as
other areas throughout New Jersey.

You may find
yourself needing squirrel removal in Jersey City if flying
squirrels are inhabiting any one of these spaces. Flying squirrels
are smaller than regular squirrels, and they typically enter attics
through small holes. They choose attics because of the insulation
that can be found in those areas.
Flying squirrels
are a nocturnal species, but there are certainly signs to look for
when trying to determine whether or not you have a flying squirrel
problem:
- Are you
seeing a surplus of acorn or hickory nut shells around the yard?
Check them to see what the openings look like. If the openings are
circular or ovular, flying squirrels may be the culprit.
- Inspect any
larger nuts you may find in your yard. These nuts will have two
openings in them or the entire end will be removed.
- Have you
found small droppings or urine spots on the ground? These remains
can be left by plenty of animals, but if you are finding acorns and
hickory nuts in your yard, the probability is more likely that it is
from flying squirrels.
- Check for any
damage to the structure of your home, wiring or plants. Flying
squirrels tend to leave behind damage and will gnaw on plant life,
wires and wood.
If you find any of
these signs in your home or yard, you should call Alco Animal and
Pest Control for squirrel removal in Jersey City. Squirrels
are looking to stay out of the cold this winter, and attic spaces are
a perfect place for them to stay warm.
