Flying Squirrels in Raleigh, Wake Forest & Durham

Historical & Regional Context

1. Long-Established Native Species
   Southern flying squirrels (Glaucomys volans) have been native to central North Carolina for centuries, inhabiting hardwood forests throughout what is now Raleigh, Wake Forest, and Durham long before urban development.
2. Urban Expansion Increased Attic Infestations
   As the Triangle region grew rapidly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, flying squirrels adapted to suburban environments, frequently nesting in attics and roof voids that mimic hollow trees.
3. Often Undetected for Long Periods
   Historically, flying squirrel infestations in this region have gone unnoticed for months because they are nocturnal, quiet, and primarily active at night—allowing damage and contamination to build up before homeowners realize there is a problem.

How Flying Squirrels Damage Homes

Though lightweight, flying squirrels can cause extensive and compounding damage once inside a structure:

🏠 1. Roof, Gutter & Structural Damage

Flying squirrels exploit small openings near rooflines, soffits, vents, and gutters. Over time, they chew, widen entry points, dislodge materials, and compromise roofing systems, increasing the risk of leaks and long-term structural deterioration.

💩 2. Fecal Matter & Contamination Buildup

Flying squirrels often nest in large groups. Their droppings and urine accumulate rapidly in attics and wall voids, contaminating insulation, reducing energy efficiency, and creating strong odors that can affect indoor air quality.

🐜 3. Secondary Pest Infestations

Flying squirrels commonly carry fleas, mites, and ticks. Once established in a home, these pests can spread into living spaces, impacting pets and family members and creating an entirely new infestation even after squirrels are removed.
