The most common New York squirrels are the grey squirrel, red squirrel, fox squirrel, Northern flying squirrel, and Southern flying squirrel. The fox squirrel has the most limited distribution of the group. In New York, it’s found only in pockets in the most western part of the state. The grey squirrel is the most common and adaptable, but they’re all comfortable in cities and suburbs.

Squirrels are a common nuisance situation any time of year. Customers calling from fall through winter (September through February) often complain about denning activity. Typically, an attic den could be home to 8–10 squirrels (red or gray squirrels) or dozens of flying squirrels (perhaps up to 50).

From March through May, most calls relate to their breeding, as females seek places to raise their young. That’s when you typically find one female and her young in the attic or wall. Squirrels like to nest inside the eaves and attics of homes and commercial properties and when left alone they can be quite destructive.

Squirrels are difficult to eradicate once established. They will return year after year to the same location for nesting. In residential areas, squirrels will travel along powerlines and short out transformers. They gnaw on wires, enter buildings, and build nests in attics. Squirrels can cause a fire hazard in homes by bringing in nesting material, and by chewing on power lines.

Squirrels can leave behind a lot of droppings and urine in the attic. The droppings not only smell bad, but they pose a bio-hazardous risk, and the smell attracts new squirrels. Squirrels occasionally damage lawns by burying or searching for and digging up nuts. They will chew bark and clip twigs on ornamental trees or shrubbery planted in yards.

Often squirrels take food at feeders intended for birds. Flying squirrels are a nuisance because they are colonizing animals. In the wild, they prefer hollow trees as nesting sites but many decide that your attic is the perfect environment.

Because they are nocturnal, you may hear them scurrying about at night, particularly as they move in and out of the building. Many people hear the noise and mistake flying squirrels for rats, mice, or other types of squirrels. Flying squirrels chew, like all rodents, and can leave stains on your house at exit/entry sites.
