Squirrel Removal in Burlington NC

People in the Triad of North Carolina are often surprised to learn that there may be flying squirrels in the area. In fact, two distinct species of flying squirrel make our state their home. The eastern gray squirrel and the fox squirrel have some overlapping habitats in North Carolina, but fox squirrels mostly live in the eastern and southern areas of NC.

They are totally different in appearance and behavior though to be described together. Fox squirrels are between 1 to 2.5 lbs and their body measure 10-15 inches in length. They also both nest in larger communities within trees.

Squirrels Can Be a Nuisance

These species of squirrels are much less comfortable around people and therefore keep a greater distance. This is probably the reason most people never see them. Their preference for seclusion makes them a lower risk for pesky behavior than other rodents.

Squirrels will usually nest in a tree where a property owner would rather they not be. Even worse, some will nest in attics, chewing wires and making a mess of the insulation.
