Poisoning squirrels is against the law in NY
The only effective way is trapping the squirrel. This can be accomplished by purchasing a live cage trap at home depot or lowes, or even on the internet. The squirrel is coming and going, try and find the area where he is gaining access, if possible place the cage with peanut butter,near the hole, squirrels are easy to catch, if you can't find the area where the squirrel got in, place the trap where you see squirrel acvtivity, like your back yard, near a tree, the squirrel that you see in the yard will most likely be the squirrel that broke into your home, be prepared to catch more then one squirrel, as squirrels are social animals. What do you do when you catch him? Wear gloves and remove him from the area, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED BY LAW TO RELEASE THE SQUIRREL ON ANY PROPERTY UNLESS YOU HAVE WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM THE ONWNER OF SAID PROPERTY. Although most people will release their trapped squirrels in a heavily wooded area. Just be careful of the squirrel police. After everything is quiet then seal up the entry hole with heavy gauge metal mesh. Happy Hunting.
