    Squirrels in my attack
    How do I get rid of squirrels in my attic? I know that they came in the side air vents and are nesting in there. What's the best way to get rid of them. I am OK with it if they die in the process.

    They are good with dumplings or a BBQ.

    Traps are a good idea.

    If you can not discharge a firearm in your area, for example if you live in the city, which is where this seems to be a problem. Then perhaps you could use a pump bb/ pellet rifle and have them for supper.

    I am having the same problem. My husband has patch several holes and cut down most of the trees around the house. They even walk the cable and telephone lines to get to the house. We have tried cages and Critter Ridder (its smells bad), but seems to work for a while. My husband had to go up in the attic Sunday to repair some electrical wiring that they had chewed into. I wish I knew the answer also. Someone mention putting a medal eave around the house but that could be expenses. Good luck with your problem. I really hope you fine a answer, they can be a real pest.
