Louisville Flying Squirrel Removal
Flying Squirrel Removal & Control
Flying squirrels are unlike any other animal you'll encounter in your home. They use webbed flaps of skin to glide from perch to perch. And they often invade attics across Louisville and Southern Indiana.
They do the same damage tree squirrels do, such as chewing on wiring and ruining insulation.

Southern flying squirrels are surprisingly common across the Louisville area - most homeowners just never see one because they're strictly nocturnal. They're also highly social: where a gray squirrel infestation might mean one or two animals, flying squirrels den in colonies, and Kentucky attics hosting a dozen or more are not unusual, especially in winter when they group together for warmth. Homes near wooded areas like Cherokee Park, Iroquois Park and the Floyds Fork corridor are most susceptible. If you hear light scampering and rolling sounds in the ceiling between midnight and dawn, flying squirrels are a prime suspect.
Flying Squirrel Removal Questions, Answered
Why do I hear scampering at 2 a.m. but never see a squirrel?
That's the classic flying squirrel giveaway. Southern flying squirrels are strictly nocturnal - unlike gray squirrels, which are active at dawn and dusk - and they're small enough to enter a gap the size of a golf ball. If the noises happen in the middle of the night, we inspect for flying squirrels first.
Is it true flying squirrels live in groups?
Yes - in winter, southern flying squirrels den communally, and Kentucky attics can hold a dozen or more sharing body heat. That's why one-off trapping rarely solves it. We remove the whole colony with one-way doors and monitored traps, then seal every entry point, because a colony's scent trails will draw replacements for years if the holes stay open.
How much does flying squirrel removal cost in Louisville?
Louisville Critter Ridder uses flat-rate pricing: basic wild animal removal typically runs $797-$997 total, with no per-animal charges. We give free quotes over the phone 24/7/365 at (502) 791-9205, and we match or beat competitor pricing.
How does your flying squirrel removal process work?
We follow a three-step process: first we humanely remove the animals using traps that are tech-monitored and physically checked every three hours, then we repair the damage they caused, and finally we permanently close every entry point so they can't get back in.
Is your flying squirrel removal humane?
Yes. We use humane removal methods every time, and every trap is paired with cellular monitoring technology and physically checked every three hours so no animal is left waiting.
Will the animals come back after flying squirrel removal?
No - after removal we permanently seal every entry point and potential entry point, and that exclusion work is backed in writing by our 10 year animal-free guarantee. If an animal re-enters through an entry point we closed within 10 years, we make it right.
