Squirrel in Attic, Please Help

Bought a home and it was not maintained very well, the back porch had some vinyl soffit issues(hole and was pulled back). I was hearing something I assumed to be a racoon because before they sold it to us there was a handyman removing a dead one from the garage walls and redoing the sheetrock.

I called someone who captures racoons and he told me it was likely a squirrel(s) but he didn't handle that. He suggested I throw something up there to repel the squirrels so I threw some ammonia soaked rags and waited a few days and then I put up new soffit and sealed it up.

I didn't hear anything for at least a week and thought I had claimed victory. Then I heard more, so I bought some:
Rat Trap

I heard one go off within 5 minutes of setting it! Nope a freaking small rat I have tried moving them around and setting them in different spots(there are a few spots with pine cones, some half eaten) but nothing, they are smart and are avoiding it. I have used dishwashing gloves to not give scent, put peanut butter, they don't touch them.

I finally discovered where they are coming and going, a small hole under an eave where they punched a small hole in the fascia. I just threw some mothballs and some tennis balls soaked in ammonia where they are active. I took one of the rat traps and wedged it outside of the hole so I hope when he comes out it gets him.

But I'll be honest, I don't have much hope, sorry for the novel but there are sooo many suggestions, and nothing has worked so far. I really don't want to hire someone if I don't have to, i've been told places may charge thousands to handle it.

While I was typing this up I heard a big commotion, followed by a dog barking next door big time. I ran outside and the trap was gone, hope he dies lol, at least I got him, dunno if there are more.
