A little trick to keep the critters from settin' up housekeepin' in your house is to place rubber snakes on the roof at possible entry points. Works with birds, too.
I guess its odd that I actually FEED my squirrels.
There is a quicker way to deal with an infestation, though you have to be careful where you put the stuff.
Put a bowl of anti-freeze where only the squirrels can get it. Ethylene Glycol is highly poisonous and will do the trick. I've had to use it on an infestation of rats (idiot neighbor set a compost heap fifteen feet from four dumpsters in the city). The anti-freeze killed all of the rats over night and inadvertently got a couple of squirrels in the process.
Preserve wildlife, Pickle a Squirrel!
