Get Squirrels Out with 1-way door trap
The fastest and most consistent way of solving a squirrel in attic problem is to use a 1-way door trap. This type of trap must be set up at the squirrel's entry and exit point and no other holes should be present.
All animals have to leave the attic virtually everyday to get food and water outside. They can't leave anywhere. They have to leave at the 1 or 2 spots they've been using. The 1-way trap exploits knowing that the squirrel has to leave and doesn't have many options to do it.

Clearwater rat control CANNOT be performed in this manner. Rats will not push through 1-way doors consistently enough, and so rats have to be trapped in the attic.
