Common Nuisance Squirrels in New England Tree Squirrels
Tree squirrels are one of the most common wildlife pests in our area. These daytime-active pests:
- Feed mostly on nuts and live in wooded neighborhoods
- Often nest in attics during winter
- Chew electrical and phone wires, creating fire hazards
- Leave droppings and nesting debris behind

- Conduct a full property inspection
- Humanely trap and remove squirrels or groundhogs
- Remove accessible nests and debris
- Seal all entry points to prevent re-entry

Flying Squirrels
Flying squirrels don’t actually fly—they glide using skin flaps between their limbs. They:
- Feed on nuts, seeds, insects, and bird eggs
- Are nocturnal, often disturbing homeowners at night
- Nest in attics and create strong odors from urine
- Are not dangerous but can be persistent nuisances
Groundhogs / Woodchucks
Groundhogs, also called woodchucks, are burrowing members of the squirrel family. They:
- Are active during the day, especially spring and summer
- Dig large holes near fences, decks, or buildings
- Damage gardens and lawns extensively
- Can weaken structural foundations with deep burrows
Humane wildlife removal, with lasting protection. We safely remove squirrels, flying squirrels, and groundhogs while sealing entry points to prevent return.
