They have eaten an entrance hole on the second level and an egress area on the opposite side of the house, same level. I patched it up; they chewed clean through my work short order. Last several weeks I hired some contractors to install discrete concrete wall-barriers on their front and back doors. They simply chose a nearby site. Nocturnally I hear them squeaking or chattering-- likely about my futlity in ridding them, I suspect. They mock me!
Time to break out my arsenal? Hire exterminators?
Your expert (Pro) opinions or those homeowners who have successfully defeated these little devils greatly appreciated.

I've had them in the house before and they can be a pain.
I ended up calling in pest control and they did a few things.
1. They put in non-kill traps in the attic and outside to catch them.
2. They then put in some sort of chemical repellant in the attack to get them not to go there.
3. Pest Control closed up the holes they chewed into the home.
4. One last round of non-lethal traps in the attic and outside.
Knock on wood but I haven't had any major squirrel issues in two years since they came in and fixed the problem.
