Flying squirrels in Medford, Massachusetts are extremely small in size compared to gray squirrels and other members of the squirrel family that are typically found in the Medford, Massachusetts and greater Worcester County area. Medford, Massachusetts flying squirrels have a broad flattened tail, enlarged eyes, and a patagium — extended folds of skin from the wrist to ankle that enable the flying squirrel to glide (not really fly) 80 to 150 feet. Flying squirrels in Medford, Massachusetts are very persistent, which is why it can be helpful to hire pest control professionals such as Ford’s Hometown Services to not only remove families of nuisance flying squirrels but who also specialize in exclusion. Detailed exclusion work will prevent and keep future family groups of flying squirrels from reentering your home.
It’s very common for flying squirrels in Medford, Massachusetts to nest in attics or walls of residential homes or unoccupied structures. Flying squirrel problems are often discovered by home owners when they hear bird-like chirps or scratching from inside the structure. Once they enter your attic or other spaces, flying squirrels will happily settle in and make it their new home.
