call a exterminator to set up a special trap to catch the squirrels when the leave the hole in the wall. They can patch the hole after they catch the bastard.
ETA: the fucking landlord should be paying for this not you |

I thought about shooting the wall with the glock, but that would overpenetrate and hit the neighbor. Then I thought about smashing the wall in with a sledge hammer, but then the security deposit would be gone. I'm thinking deadly gases sent through the house is the only option. |

Probably a much better suggestion than advice taken from my uncle.
(the exterminator that is) |

if it wasnt for all the piss and poop they'll leave in there over the winter, i'd say let them go until spring. although they should still have enough time to build a winter nest ( i think)

Perfect chance to practice using snares to catch food.

my landlord is a basterd, he let the hot water go off for three weeks and got pissed off when my rommate wouldn't send him the full rent for it. Theres no way in hell he's gonna get an exterminator, if he did it would be way after the pests left. |

They are probably bats. Bats will get in just about any small hole, and love attics and walls. If you hear them in the attic, get some of those sticky mouse traps...the bats will get stuck in them. Also get the holes plugged. If you plug the holes, and don't kill the ones that come in the house, well...have fun. Get your tennis racket handy. If you find their shit (guano), be very careful around it. It is worse than the bats... |

BTW...to patch the holes, go to your local big box like lowes and get some expanding insulating foam. We did that with the holes the bats were going thru and they don't even try to tear it out... |

My brother had a problem with Squirrels in his attic. He attempted to live trap, poison, sealing all small holes around the foundation to the roof and all the other routine methods. After 2 years he found a solution.
It is a type of bait that to the perp smells like a predator. It is a powder that smells like fox urine. You put it in the attic, around the house, hell pull an outlet and drop some in the wall. He swears by them and it has gotten rid of the problem. It is the only thing that worked. I will attempt to get the name of the item from him tonight. He said he found them on the net. Just spoke to him and it is called Shake Away, $20 a container. Type in Shake Away and do a random search. |

I had that problem once. I put chicken wire over the hole they were going in. left it there for a couple days until they got good and thirsty. Took it off that morning and came back at lunch and closed up the hole again. Squirrels were gone.

They have a one trap door for the squirrels. They can get out but not back in. Its a long wire tube that gets smaller as it goes outward. The little guys go out but cant squeeze back in. When they have vacated, you patch the hole in the wall.
The landlord should be paying for this. If he wont fix it, I would wait until you are going to move out then kill the little guy and leave him in the wall. The next tenant wont be too happy. |
