Squirrels in the attic

[fishinfool]

It seems that some squirrels have set up housekeeping in my attic. I have set a live trap where it is accessible to me, but they seem to be avoiding it and are moving in areas that I am not able to get to.
Other than recipes for squirrel stew, does anyone have any firsthand knowledge of how to get rid of these destructive rodents and keep them away?

Dub, if I could see the little buggers, I would definitely do that.

22 cal rat shot works, also Rat Bait in the trays will work, after they are gone you need to find out how they got in and FIX the HOLE 1/2 inch Hardware clothe "WIRE MESH" will keep them out also if you don't fix the Hole you will some day have COON'S and other unwanted Guests. I had Flying Squirrels and these method's worked for me.

I think Silverking has a neighbor that is good at getting rid of squirrels, call him.

WE HAD 27 FLYING SQUIRRELS INVADE OUR LAKE HOUSE ONE WINTER AND WHEN SCHOOL WAS OUT WE HEADED TO THE LAKE FOR OUR SUMMER FUN IN THE SUN. THERE ARE MANY SAND OAK TREES INOUR AREA WHICH HAVE ACORNS ABOUT 3/4TH INLONG, THESE TREES ARE SOMETIMES CALLED SCRUB OAK TREES. THE FIRST NIGHT WE WERE THERE IT SOUNDED LIKE A BOWLING ALLEY UP THERE. I CRAWLED UP AND LOOKED WITH A FLASHLIGHT, THOSE LITTLE BUGGERS WERE RUNNING ALL OVER THE ATTAC. I DROVE OVER TO PALATKA AND BOUGHT A BOX OF .22 RAT SHOT, WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE LAKE HOUSE THERE WAS PANDAMONIUM UP IN THE ATTAC. I EASED UP WITH MY TRUSTY LITTLE .22 AND USED THE WHOLE BOX OF SHELLS AND MADE A KILL WITH EACH SHOT, I PULLED 27 OF THOSE LITTLE BUGGERS OUT AND BURIED THEM OUT IN THE LAKE, THE GATORS HAD A BALL. AFTER ABOUT 3 DAYS THE SMELL GOT SO BAD FROM THE SQUIRRELS THAT WENT DOWN IN THE WALLS WE HAD TO LOAD UP AND HEAD BACK TO THE HOME TWENTY. I PATCHED THE HOLE THEY HAD CHEWED BESIDE WHERE THE ELE. SERVICE WENT THROUGH THE WALL. I COVERED THE HOLE AND OUT ABOUT 7 INCHES WITH 3/8TH RABBIT WIRE AND WERE NEVER BOTHERED AGAIN WITH THEM.

Lowes carries 'CritterRidder' it's a pepper based granule or liquid form that has worked for me in the past. It won't kill the critters but they can't handle the pepper.

I've used an ultrasonic blaster that I bought at Lowe's. Chased all but one out. I sealed up the hole, the lone holdout died and smelled. Got his carcass out and no problems since.

Try a box of moth balls, spread out in areas you can access.??

I have been blasting an air horn in the attic, once in the morning and once in the evening. They do not seem to like the noise and I think they have left. I still have not found where they are getting in. Gone is good and I hope they stay away.
