Bats in the belfry...

...squirrels in the attic.

We need to talk with our neighbor southwards.  Saw a squirrel run confidently along a branch of our maple, leap to her roof, and head straight for the eave where the side chimney pokes up through.  And disappear within.

Wildlife in the house!  Alert!

I have squirrels too [sigh]. No idea on how to get rid of them.

A .22 can work wonders. Or an air-rifle, in town. (Less noise.)

But wouldn't shooting my attic full of holes be counterproductive? :)

Accuracy is important.

On a more practical level, if you can get at the squirrelly areas you can set traps. Live traps, kill traps, up to you. We do not recommend poisoned bait, such as DeCon, because dead squirrels are large enough to emit a noticeable smell...
