What is suggest if you do is going to Aubuchon's up a the Neck Rd and getting a ultrasonic noise maker, the are marketed for mice but they work for squirrels too. Along with that you will need an extension cord to go from the nearest outlet to where ever you have access to the attic space. Run the cord and put the noise maker in the attic....

Now if you can't get in the attic period, see if you have a vent on the side of your house, you can put the noise maker outside the vent and aim it into the attic... it will not be as effective, but it should make the little buggers uncomfortable and unwelcome enough to start vacating the property.

Now no matter what you do you want to do it soon, these things are nesting at this point.... which means they are making themselves comfortable, the more uncomfortable you make them and the sooner you do it, the more likely you will not have company all winter long.

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, there is no access to the attic from inside my house. I have one of those ultrasonic plug-in things in my garage. I believe they work, as we have not had any issues with mice....thank god!

I contacted an exterminator today, but have not heard back from them yet. I will follow up tomorrow. Like you said....don't want these critters making themselves comfortable for the winter.

Thanks again!
