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.
Now leaning this direction if a couple of new suggested tactics don't work first after the rain finally ends. Peppermint oil spray, then strobe lights at last. (I suspect I'll find them taking drugs and dancing up there but, still, will give it a go)

Then I'll leave it to the professional assassins. Hey, they asked for it.
