Getting Squirrels Out Of Attic
Find the entry point
Squirrels usually enter a home somewhere around the eave. You will probably need to go up on roof and look around eaves with a ladder to see everything. Alternatively, spend some time watching the squirrels in your yard. They will eventually show you their way in.
Set a 1-way trap at the main hole
Baiting a one-way trap is unnecessary, but may speed up the results. With the trap in place, give the squirrels time to enter it on their own.
This type of trap can be purchased online here.
Continue trapping for 5 days after last catch
As long as there are no other exit points, the squirrel will have to come out and be trapped. Take the captured squirrel at least 10 miles away from your
property before releasing. Keep the trap up until all noises in the ceiling stop for at least 5 days before making the final repair.
