FLYING SQUIRRELS
Flying squirrels are smaller than other tree squirrels. They are between 8-10 inches in length and weigh between 1.3 - 4 ounces. Flying squirrels may be various shades of grey and brown above and lighter below. The most distinctive characteristics of flying squirrels are the broad webs of skin connecting the fore and hind legs at the wrists, large black eyes, and a flattened tail. They use this skin as a parachute when gliding from tree to tree.
Flying squirrels are nocturnal with activity being only at night. Female flying squirrels give birth of up to 2 litters of 2-4 young each year. Deterring flying squirrels may be a challenge and it takes a professional to permanently solve the problem.
Over time a colony of flying squirrels can soil insulation with the accumulation of feces and urine deposits.
