Trap and Remove Method:
If there are so many San Diego squirrels in your attic, you can try to trap them and release them at a certain far distance from where they cannot return. You need to buy a humane squirrel cage trap and set it at attic entry holes. Generally, squirrels stay active during morning and evening hours; but when they have babies inside, they can also visit in between. Once you catch the mother squirrel in the trap, safely remove the babies altogether, and leave the whole family at a safe place where they can survive.

One Way Doors:
Here is another humane technique to remove squirrels from the attic. Simply block all the entry and exit holes for a squirrel by leaving just one. Install a tension flap on this entry point that allows squirrels to simply move out of the attic but do not provide a path to get in. in this way, all the squirrels can be moved out of the space.

Repellents:
If you don’t want to harm California squirrels, just want to make sure they leave your attic, the home-based repellents can help you better. However, these solutions do not protect your house for the long run but if once you are able to get rid of them, it is better to seal all the entry points so that they cannot return. Never forget to remove all the mess with the help of professional squirrel exterminators.
