1. Trap them using a live trap. Live traps are where you catch them "a live." Only problem is getting rid of them.
2. Call an exterminator or someone who can do the work for you. They have the experience, the equipment and know best how to do it, but they will cost you some money.
3. Use a powerful strobe light. Squirrels and other animals that might inhabit your roof have very sensitive eyes and are easily bothered by this flashing light.
