Have squirrels in attic, what time do they leave nest?

Good luck to you sir!

Soak rags in apple cider vinegar and hang them around the attic. Squirrels hate the smell.

Get a sonic device. Those things emit a 130-decibel noise at a very high frequency. Squirrels can hear it. Dogs and humans can't (Might not be an option if you have cats.)

Get a trap. Release them in the woods.

I was thinking about a cheap pellet gun. any thoughts on which one i should buy.

Get a Gamo

Benjamin Pump .177 caliber will take care of them in short order. I've used mine to kill more pigeons than I can count and a few possums that were getting very familiar with my house.

I have my Benjamin pump from when I was 5, 30 years old and works great.

I already got up in the attic and saw what looked like a juvenile, it was in my eves and not in an easy spot to get to so I didn’t want to shoot it at the time. Plus I thought they were rats so I was happy to find the squirrel. I’m not worried about getting them, I’ll shoot them and have the live traps to catch them then shoot them. I just wasn’t sure what the best time of day to sit outside their nest and wait for them was?

Eta: I set 2 rat traps with peanut butter in my attic already. Tied them down, not going amateur hour and digging through my insulation to find them I’ve done that with rats before and that sucks. I have 8 traps I was gonna set for rats but since it’s squirrels I’m gonna try to catch them outside my house.

Make sure u take care of the mama before u fill the hole she’s coming in. She will absolutely destroy your shite trying to get back in to her babies.

Thanks a bunch.

My UCF buddy came over and watched football last night and brought his suppressed .22 rifle with CCI quiets and we got 3 adults. Not sure how we flushed them, but in between watching football and beers we had another sober friend screw the board back to fix the hole. Today I walked outside and heard something in my gutter, so I went on my roof with a blower and blew a wad of pine needles off and sure enough I blew what I thought looked like a squirrel off my 2nd story roof also.

First off, mad my Pumpmaster 760 (thought it was a Benjamin earlier my bad) that I’ve had since I was 5 bit the dust. I took like 3 practice shots to check the sites and bring back memories and on the 4th it started leaking air. Sad day, RIP.

I live in a neighborhood so I didn’t bring a BB gun up on my roof as I didn’t want someone thinking some crazy dude had an AR on his roof shooting at something. But of course there’s also a baby squirrel left in my gutter that I can see just hanging out.

So I get down off the roof and grab my back up BB gun and go inspect this huge wad of pine needles and sure enough a dang juvi squirrel runs out and along my house. I follow it and it goes around the corner, then I turn the corner and the damn thing is now in my garage. Rookie mistake leaving the door open.

I end up finding it in a huge pile of rags I have, I lifted up one rag and see a tail. So I took a shovel to the pile and knocked it out apparently then finished it off with the BB gun. Huge relief, as I have some holes in my garage drywall from renovation work and the last thing I wanted is this thing in the guts of my garage.

Then I get on my extension ladder and the sibling is back out on top of my gutter. Long story but I end up finishing it off also.

So 5 squirrels down, holes sealed up, and no new noises so far in my ceilings. Hopefully problem over.
