Strobe lights may scare the squirrels out of the attic, but I personally have never try it. I say you should give it a go. Good luck!
I have had a lot of success evicting squirrels with the Evictor High Intensity Strobe Lights. It seems that the strobes do not scare the squirrels, but instead annoys them so much they voluntarily leave the attic.

Will a squriel trap work if it is a few feet above ground?
If it is easy to climb for squirrels then yes. But squirrels aren't that stupid, they climb up into a trap it depends if it has food in it.
How do you get rid of squirrels in your shed?
THIS is the BEST and works IMMEDIATELY!! The squirrels' natural enemy is the fox. Hunters use fox urine to disguise their scent. Buy bottled fox urine at a store that sells hunting paraphanalia. Wear some rubber gloves and soak some cotton balls with fox pee. Place the soaked cotton balls in your attic and wherever the squirrels hang out. They will get eerily quiet so as not to alert the "fox" to their whereabouts and get out of there as fast as they can! Wait a few days to be sure they're really gone and seal up any possible entry points. Trap the squirrels and then plug all the holes they are using to gain access to the sofffit and you attic. Don't poison them, unless you have too, or you will have to deal with an odor for some time. I just had "the war on" with a family of squirrels this past summer. Little stinkers were everywhere. There are only 2 ways to get rid of them ... get a pest exterminator in or buy or rent a couple of cages (put in a small ball of peanut butter) trap them and relocate them out in the country or at least several miles from where you live. Since I am such a softy, I made my poor hubby use the cage method and we caught the whole family of 8 squirrels, plus one rat! Ugh! All were happily relocated and we are squirrel free. Then check the exterior of your house very carefully and fill in any holes you might find. Squirrels can chew through mesh very easily. Also, if anyone in your home is feeding them ask them to stop! Squirrels know a good thing when they see it. If you have cat or dog food outside, feed your pet inside. Pet food attracts raccoons, rats and squirrels. Also, if you have a bird feeder close by, move it somewhere away from the house (as far away as you can get it.) When you relocate squirrels, make sure you bring them seven or eight miles away and travel a zig zag path or else they can find their way back. Before relocating them, you may want to mark them with just a tiny dot of paint so that, if you see squirrels again, you will know whether they are new ones or the ones you relocated. The real answer is to use Victor rat traps and bait them with peanut butter ... I've caught 23 so far and am doing the community a favor by getting rid of the destructive squirrels and am eating them too... delicious and nutritious !!! ... bob walters richmond,va 7/27/2009
What food do squirrels love?
Squirrels go nuts (no pun intended) over peanuts, sunflower seeds, almonds, pine nuts, etc. If it has a shell for them to have to work on, that's even better. Just not SUPER hard shells like Macadamia nuts. They seem to like working for it, tinkering with it to get them open.

Remove squirrels from the attic?
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.

You may have the P71 Package (Police Interceptor), in which these sections of the taillamps are separate for police strobe lamps.
How does a strobe light work?
2. A strobe light works by illuminating an object with a very brief flash of light. If this flash of light is repeated at the same rate as an object is rotating, then the rotating object will appear to be stationary. The flash of light is produced by a flash tube similar to that on a modern camera, but one capable of having a very short pulse of light, and at very great intensity. The modern Strobe light was invented by Edgerton, and he went on to invent Side Scan Sonar, a powerful technique for viewing the seabed. The primitive origin of the strobe light can be seen as a slit in a cardboard disk, which is rotation at the same speed as the object is rotating. The technique is not limited to rotating machinery - any repetitive motion may be studied. And with single flashes, a short-lived phenomena may be captured on film.

Is Pepermint oil an effective repellent against squirrels?
Yes, it is. But since peppermint oil is volatile - meaning it evaporates (quicker in warmer weather) you do have to replenish it at least every couple weeks. Hopefully, the squirrels would lose interest during those couple weeks, but they may come back. If you are putting it on a bird feeder, that will work since birds do not have a sense of smell, but squirrels do. Keep in mind, squirrels will NEVER lose interest in the bird feeder, so some other solution like a cone on the bird feeder post would work better. If you want to keep them out of your attic, soak something, like a small rag or cotton ball, with the peppermint oil and stick it where you think the squirrels are getting in.

When using a strobe light to determine the RPM of a rotating item and you read 1000 and 2000 how do you know which is correct?
Start from the lowest setting on the strobe, and then work your way up till you find the highest setting that freezes the rotating item. This will hold for a single blade. Lower strobe settings (lower rpms) may also look correct, but you're actually catching the item at half the true rpm. The item will appear to be stopping after 1 revolution, but you're watching it after 2 revolutions every time the strobe flashes. With a two bladed propeller, you run into a similar problem, except that running the strobe twice as fast can give misleading results. It is helpful to make an identifying mark on one blade that can be easily seen when the strobe is running. Then find the highest rpm where that marking stays in the same spot. This will assure you that you aren't counting half rpm, and that you aren't counting twice rpm by watching the other blade move to the same spot.
