What is going on with all these flying squirrels?

I have a question:
What is going on with all these flying squirrels that I am hearing about, my neighbor had one in her attic and I have one in my basement?
Answer:
I believe it's the mild weather of recent winters that's allowing a population explosion. A normal, very cold winter often causes food shortages and kills the offspring by starvation and same species predation. Yes, thats right! These oh so cute creatures will eat anything, they will especially kill and eat each other to survive.
So, if there's plenty of food around outside they do not need to eat their young and we then end up with a serious over-population proble.
They are the most difficult of all pests to get rid of. They are nocturnal and gain access to homes through multiple smal holes. They can chew cables and cause fires, they defecate and cause stains and smells and health hazards. They really are a nuisance. They can glide 150 feet or more. So cutting trees down makes little difference. They really have to be trapped and eliminated. There are often groups of 6-8 living together.
Get an inspection to make sure it's not mice causing the problem. Don't ignore them. Most people have never seen one, believe me they are all around us.
