Gray squirrelsare the most prevalent of the squirrel species, seen commonly in yards, parks etc. In Westchester County, the gray squirrel has young all year long with the exception of January and February with an average of 3-5 young. Unlike the gray squirrel, flying squirrels are nocturnal and very social. Flying squirrels will den in attics and walls, with as many as 15 flying squirrels denning together. Like most rodents, squirrels are very aggressive chewers. Squirrels will chew through wood, enlarging even the tiniest of openings, allowing entry. Once inside, squirrels will reside in attics where they will nest and rear young. This nesting material retains odor from the accumulation of droppings and urine. Squirrels can also fall down chimneys allowing them access to living space. Damage done to electrical and phone lines through chewing in combination with nesting material, can pose a serious fire hazard.
