One or two squirrels playing in your yard can be adorable, but squirrels living in the walls or attic of your home are not. They’ll destroy your insulation to build their nests, and if they damage wiring, they can pose a fire hazard.

The three species of squirrels are gray squirrels, red squirrels and flying squirrels. Most people have seen gray and red squirrels which move about from sunrise to sunset. That is when homeowners hear and see them coming and going their soffit and attic area, whereas flying squirrels are strictly nocturnal. Flying squirrels can be heard scurrying around at night but are totally quiet during the day. They weigh just a few ounces with big black eyes and a flat tail.
