You just have to kill them. --174.201.xx.xxx

I bought a cheap strobe light and let it run for a week in the attic. Drove them right out. --73.16.xxx.x

There is a gopher poison called "something" poison peanuts. Squirrels would eat those. It's probably possible to Google the brand name. --98.146.xxx.xxx

After closing its entrance, I had a squirrel bore a hole through the shingles and plywood to regain entry. Suggest you trim trees way back from roof, but they will still come in on wires. I like the strobe light idea. Way smarter than climbing into the attic with a long pole. --107.141.xx.xxx

If there is a poison they will eat, just be aware if they die in the house it will stink. --72.209.xxx.xxx

When we moved into our own home, there were many ground squirrels in the area. Then we noticed a light flickering. Hubs went in attic to investigate. Squirrel nest and freshly chewed wires. Nope, cute little fellas. You were cute until you tried to burn the house down. --70.92.xxx.xxx

I like the strobe light idea! --96.46.xxx.xx

If it makes you feel any better I've got a squirrel that chewed a hole in my gutter downspout and made a nest in the gutter topped with a leaf guard. I;ve been trying to trap him for a week and he keeps eating my peanut butter but not setting the trap off. Caught a raccoon but no squirrel. :-( --71.217.xxx.xxx

Agree. I hate those rodents and being rodents, their teeth grow all the time and they need to gnaw. You should kill them, they will travel miles to get back. Get any tree branches away from house and keep catching.I still have a wildlife removal expert at my big triplex as he guarentees for 2 years. --216.23.xxx.xx

And be prepared for a long battle. --172.58.xxx.xx

The most active location that they kept on attaching I added a 25,000 volt shocker. That sent them flying and they moved to a new address.. --47.156.xx.xx

No mottlh balls. Poison to people. Use metal to close up holes --99.203.xx.xx

Being gray and partially bald is not all that bad. You will get accustomed to it like I have. It is better to have gray hair than no hair. --68.63.xxx.xxx

Be careful using poison, I had a situation where a neighbor had squirrels, so the neighbor was tossing poison in the attic to kill them. But the squirrels were smart little ba$tard$s and were just taking the poison out of the attic and leaving it in the neighbors yards including mine. My dogs got a hold of it and I had to bring both of them to the vet for Vitamin K injections and plasma transfusions. So word of caution, if you poison make sure it’s only targeting the animal you want targeted. --71.248.xxx.xxx

To stop them buy two havahart squirrel traps. Get the larger ones. Put them in strategic places. On the ground will do, but careful no animal lover sees them or they'll be gone. Keep trapping and drowning the squirrels until the attic sounds go away completely. Innocence bystanders will be killed but there's no other solution. And be careful when you transport the traps that they are fully closed. People will look at you funny when you open the gate of your station wagon and a squirrel comes flying out. And once you trap the squirrel, cover the trap with a towel to calm the squirrel. --100.1.xxx.xxx

What about running an electric fence wire along the fascia? Easy to install, inexpensive, targeted, and I bet it would be a significant deterrent... --204.210.xxx.xxx

The first time he worked for me, he forgot a trap. It was found by a squirrel of a girl tenant (who was a Happy Clause reject) much later. I was in the back yard when I heard her screaming. A squirrel skeleton was clinging to the door of the cage. --216.23.xxx.xx

I agree with BillW, you got to kill them or they will keep coming back. Then block up all the access points. If the thought of drowning them isn’t for you, you can also trap em, then put the trap in a large plastic tote from like Lowe’s, then put in a chunk of dry ice in some water and put the lid on the tote. They will just fall asleep and die, no struggling. --71.248.xxx.xxx

Squirrels run races around my house the old asphalt siding provides an easy grip. So far there are enough empty houses to keep them at bay. --24.194.xx.xx

Put pans of Ammonia around in the attic, shove ammonia soaked rags in holes and tight places. Refresh the supply every few days. Eventually they will give up and leave. I had raccoons in the chimney above the fireplace. We put a pan of Ammonia in the fireplace so that the fumes would go up the chimney.There was a lot of sneezing and realized it was a nest of baby raccoons. We dropped a rope (rags) down the chimney and in a couple of days the family climbed out and left. --68.32.xxx.xxx

I read that a strobe light will make them leave. Make sure it reaches all parts of the attic. I have the same trouble with one of my homes. A trap got one of them out but the other one must have seen what happened and won't go in the second trap. I am still waiting for the tree guy to take down the access tree. The tenant hears noise right over her bedroom. She has been patient. It has been months of this. I looked at strobes but her brother has brain issues and I am afraid to put one in the attic on the chance he would go up there. He has seizures from strobes. --173.61.xxx.xx

Strobe lights are on Ebay and someone also made a wire tunnel to put over the holes. They can get out but can't get back in so of course they would make a new hole but you could take a look at the squirrel baffles on Ebay while you are looking at the strobe lights. --173.61.xxx.xx

I gave up on trying to get rid of them years ago ,so I just leave food out for them,they really don’t eat much,same with the raccoons ,one raccoon eats the food then lies on his back in the center of the deck with his four feet up in the air and suns himself, in the middle of the day,not rabid,like some people would have you believe. Don’t worry about losing your hair ,mines gone,saves on combs and going to the barber’s shop,,, ....Charlie.......even using a mirror,, ....don’t need one for an electric razor.......... --32.214.xxx.xx

Having squirrels in the Attic,isn’t as bad as “having bats in your belfry”......Charlie....... --32.214.xxx.xx
