Squirrel Control & Removal in NY & VT

Eastern Gray Squirrels

The most common cause of squirrel problems in Glens Falls NY is the gray squirrel. These rodents have predominantly gray fur with a white underbelly and a big, bushy tail. Their fur can also appear brownish in color. They are very agile and seemingly defy gravity, able to scale the vertical walls of your home. They sharpen and clean their teeth daily by gnawing on hard branches, which allows them to easily chew through insulation and electrical wires.

American Red Squirrels

Smaller than gray squirrels with smaller bushy tails, red squirrels vary in color from brownish-red to grayish-red with white bellies and white fur around their eyes. Red squirrels can be found throughout the Northeast from Albany to the Adirondacks and into Vermont. Red squirrels build multiple nests within their territory and move their young between them. They love attics and particularly insulation. Not only is it warm, but it’s easy to chew, break into pieces, and move from place to place.

Northern Flying Squirrels

With big wide eyes, a thick cinnamon-colored coat, and a white belly, the flying squirrel is most distinguished by the furry membrane that stretches from its front limbs to its ankles. Since they are nocturnal and secretive, they are rarely seen, but we have received calls for flying squirrel problems in Albany, Saratoga, and Lake George, as well as Vermont. If these rodents take up residence in your attic, they can cause a noticeable odor and damage with their urine.
