We discovered this fall that some areas between the roof and the gutters on our house weren't completely closed off and squirrels were getting inside. So we screwed in a bunch of aluminum strips to block those holes and keep the squirrels out. Now it seems like we have some squirrels "trapped" in our walls. We can hear them running around at night and it's driving us crazy. Anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this problem? Do I need to call an exterminator?

FYI, I just trapped a squirrel using the Haveahart traps they sell at HD and Lowes. I brought it to the Reservaton. It was very easy to use but note that the best size is not sold in the stores. They have slightly small ones (recommmended for small squirells) and big ones (raccoons).

Buckingham will put these little contraptions on that let the critter out but not back in (to avoid the problem you are having).
