Flying Squirrel Removal, Exclusion & Prevention — How Pricing Works.

Flying squirrels are small, social, and surprisingly quiet — which often means homeowners don’t realize they’re inside until droppings, scratching, or nighttime noises begin. Unlike grey squirrels, they typically enter through high roofline gaps, gable vents, or ridge vents and live in groups. Because of their size and behavior, flying squirrel removal is more detailed and time-consuming than most attic wildlife work. Below explains how we approach flying squirrel problems, what influences cost, and what most customers typically spend..

  • 1) Single entry, quick fix

    • Inspection $75

    • Stabilization $225

    • Entry repair $300
      Estimated total: ~$600

    2) Two-entry attic, moderate chewing

    • Inspection $75

    • Stabilization $350

    • Two targeted repairs ($200–$550 each)

    • One return visit $60
      Estimated total: ~$885–$1,585

    3) Whole-home exclusion (average home)

    • Inspection $75

    • Full-home exclusion $1,200

    • Chimney cap $450
      Estimated total: ~$1,725 (includes 3-year guarantee)

    4) Large home with heavy damage

    • Inspection $75

    • Stabilization $400

    • Whole-home exclusion $3,000

    • Soffit repair $200

    • Ridge-vent guard (40 ft @ $15/ft) $600
      Estimated total: ~$4,275

    These are examples, not quotes. Every home is unique, and your written estimate will be based on actual findings.

  • • Number of active and potential entry points

    • Roof height, slope, and access difficulty

    • Attic accessibility (finished vs. open joist)

    • Presence of multiple colonies (common in older attics)

    • Prior sealing attempts or foam patch repairs

    • Level of contamination or nesting debris

    • Your goal — short-term control or permanent exclusion

  • • Inspection: $75 (photos, plan, and recommendations)

    • Stabilize: $250–$450

    • Targeted repair: $150–$550

    • Whole-home exclusion: $900–$2,000 typical; $3,000–$6,000+ complex

    • Humane trapping: $225 setup + $60 per return visit

    • Common add-ons: ridge/gable vent guards, soffit repair

    No scare tactics. No hidden fees. Just clear, humane, and permanent flying squirrel solutions — backed by our 3-year guarantee.

  • Standard inspection (within our service area): $75

    What you get:

    • Complete attic and roofline evaluation (ridge, gables, soffit returns, fascia)

    • Identification of all active and potential entry points as small as 1⁄2 inch

    • Photos and documentation of evidence, droppings, or nesting areas

    • A clear action plan with options for sealing, exclusion, and cleanup

    Why we start here:

    Flying squirrels are colony animals. Finding one almost always means there are more. They can enter through holes smaller than a thumb, so an accurate inspection saves time, prevents repeated re-entry, and ensures all gaps are located before exclusion begins.

  • Ballpark: $250–$450

    When flying squirrels are actively using the home, we begin with stabilization to confirm entry and timing:

    • Install small camera-monitored traps or motion sensors near active openings (when needed)

    • Temporarily close off secondary areas to funnel movement through known exits

    • Apply temporary sealant to slow heat loss or airflow that attracts activity

    Note: Flying squirrels are nocturnal and highly social. This phase ensures we track colony size and identify every exit point before final sealing.

  • Ballpark: $150–$550 per entry

    Scope typically includes:

    • Sealing known roofline or fascia openings with chew-proof flashing

    • Reinforcing ridge vents, gable vents, and small attic vents

    • Wildlife-grade sealants and stainless micro-mesh materials

    • Photo documentation before and after work

    When to choose this:

    For smaller homes or newer structures where the activity is limited to one section of the roof or attic. Targeted repairs are effective when the rest of the home is in good shape.

  • Typical homes: $900–$2,000

    Complex/large or steep roofs: $3,000–$6,000+

    What it covers:

    • Sealing and reinforcing all possible 1⁄2" or larger gaps across the entire roofline

    • Ridge vent screening, gable vent guards, fascia edge protection

    • Optional chimney cap installation (if openings are present)

    • Full photo documentation of all exclusion work

    Why people choose this:

    Flying squirrels often use multiple points of access and share nesting sites with relatives. A full-home

    exclusion ensures complete sealing and prevents repeat invasions season after season.

    Guarantee:

    All full-home flying squirrel exclusions come with our 3-year guarantee. If they breach our work within that time, we’ll return and fix it free of charge.

  • Because flying squirrels are small and travel in groups, trapping must be strategic and closely monitored.

    • Setup package: $225 (includes up to 2 traps + 2 cellular monitoring cameras)

    • Return visits: $60 per trip (re-baiting, resetting, or removing animals)

    • No per-animal fees. Multiple captures during one trip don’t increase your cost.

    Why cameras?

    We use cellular-monitored traps to ensure quick response times. This system minimizes animal stress, improves success rates, and eliminates unnecessary site visits.

  • Used only when needed — not automatically included:

    • Ridge vent guard — $12–$20 per linear foot installed (typical 30–60 ft = $360–$1,200)

    • Gable vent guards — $150–$350 each

    • Wildlife-resistant gutterguards: $18–$28 per linear foot installed (typical rooflines $500–$1,200) Heavy-duty metal guards that block leaves and keep out raccoons, squirrels, and birds. Built for wildlife strength, not hardware-store weight. Prevents one of the most common attic entry points

    • Soffit/fascia repair — $200–$800 per damaged section

    • Chimney cap (stainless) — $350–$650

    • Spot sanitation and deodorization — $200–$600

    • Full attic restoration (if severe contamination): $3–$7 per sq. ft.

    We only recommend add-ons when they’re genuinely necessary for prevention or hygiene. You’ll always see photos and understand the reasoning first.
