Cat in attic or python in attic. If you go the python route youre gonna need a mongoose to deal with the python after the squirrels are gone.
Well. What's gonna deal with the mongoose? He will be posting a thread admin how to get rod of a mongoose in his attic.
OP, just keep escalating up the food chain. Should work out.

Get a few of the LARGE rat traps and screw them to the ceiling hoists, bait with peanut butter and profit. Also works on trees along the bayou banks, kinda like running jug lines for dark meat..

frick, CoCo. Is this one of those kids' books that I've never heard of
During college, I needed to borrow a pen. I asked one of our classmates for a one. Then realized I needed paper too. So I asked him for paper as well. He said to me, "If you give a mouse a cookie."
I was like, "What?" Never heard of the book. Had to Google it.
Yea. I lived a sheltered childhood.
ETA: Just googled. I knew it.

Go to attic.
Put a speaker in attic and play loud bass music.
Wait like 20-30 minutes. Then set find and seal the point of entry, even if you have to staple screen material as a temporary fix.
Then set 2-3 live traps.
As long as they can't get in, the only ones in the attic would be the few who could put up with the threatening noise.
If you have a cat, you can use it to scare them out the attic too. My cat does a great job of keeping the house and garage rodent free.
But if you get them out and seal it your problem is solved. Let cat eat the nestlings, if any.

Pellet gun. It took me a couple weeks to get rid of mine. and the battle was as epic as Bill Murray's in Caddyshack. I love recounting those stories.

This is an Arkansas dinner question.
Run over your attic with a car. That way they consider it road kill.

Just wait until one of those squirrels fall between your walls, dies, and then rots for a few weeks. Once the smell hits you inside it really really hits you.

Anyone mention squirrel traps?

Leave them a working cell phone up there and wait until they call in to the Buddy D show, have the NSA triangulate the position of the origin of the call-
BOOM HEADSHOT!
Welcome in advance.

You better get it handled asap. Friend of mine just spent over 20k repairing/replacing his AC equipment due to squirrels. Not kidding.

Squirrel trap will work great. Alternative is to borrow a Maine Coon tomcat and put it up there for a day or two.

Congrats on the AC electrical problems coming.
Squirrels got in my attic, and cost me $1,372 in damages.

You must like nuts, cuz you are a squirrell. Makes me laugh to this day when he use to say that.

I've been through this for the last five years and I've tried everything mentioned in this thread. You should get yourself a pellet gun with good, pointed pellets, creep outside when you hear them on the roof, and take them out.
You may have to do it one at a time but if you're lucky and get an adolescent, the mother take the rest of them and leave.
Good luck.
