Not necessarily
We had squirrels in the attic of our 1790 home and they were not of the flying variety.
Aside from a specialist if you are in an area that allows you to do it your other options are a 22 rifle which we used, Decon or a pet friendly trap. The rodents have to come out for food & water so we just waited them out and picked them off one at a time then boarded up the entry point. Which is the real issue you have, because if you eliminate the rodent you still have to find and fix the entry point.
I’d get a trap first and try that as it is inexpensive and providing you can get it to where the squirrels are you stand a pretty good chance of catching them.
Squirrels are a real pain, they serve no other purpose then to feed larger animals and can do a lot of damage if left unchecked. We try and eliminate any red or grey squirrel that comes into rifle range.
Good luck with yours.
