Candid Camera

Feb 16, 2023 | Animal Entry, Squirrels

Is this Little Bunny Foo Foo hopping through the forest? Ah… caught it on candid camera only to find out that it is a flying squirrel wreaking havoc in this Mt Pleasant, PA attic.

Most people don’t think that flying squirrels are in our area, however, Westmoreland County has a fairly good population. This attic is proof.

Only active at night, these pesky creatures enjoy living in colonies. Some residences can host up to 10 to 20 flying squirrels at one time! In this instance, we removed 4 of them.
