It isn't the attic but the 1 ft wide rafter area added to top of original roof so not that big of space. The rat traps kill them and I have 50 lb test line tied to the traps in case they flop away.They do defecate an enormous amount for such small critters given any amount of time to stay in place. Luckily, ours were in the space above a dormer and not the entire attic.

The other thing that did work (some) was an electric game call going through bob cat cries all night. We got a few nights of no squirrels, then they came back when the game call was turned off.
