1
Find the entry point. Using a ladder, go up on the roof, checking for holes and look around the eaves for openings.
-
2
Purchase a one-way trap. Each trap holds up to six squirrels, but you should have a trap for each entry point that you find. As soon as a squirrel enters the trap, a latch is sprung, trapping the squirrel.

3
Take the trap, with the squirrel inside, to a place far from your home and release it.
-
4
Put the trap back in place, at the entry point. Keep using the trap for five days, after the last squirrel is caught.
-
5
Squirrels have babies from February through March and August through September. Make sure there are no babies left in the attic.
-
6
Seal the entry point, using caulking or screen with wire mesh. Check any wiring in the attic for damage from chewing. The wiring should be repaired and/or replaced.

unfortunately we had to have our roof repaired today and it took up most of the day because of these little nut eating Bastardos......they took almost all of our insulation batting and piled it up in a corner of our attic for a nest! Bastardos!
