Squirrel removal from top floor crawlspace and sealing point of access?

We used Kingsway Exterminating.  They patch all the holes with mesh except one, which they put a one way door on.  The squirrels leave daily for water and cannot get back in.  Kingsway comes back when the squirrel sounds are gone (couple days later), takes off the door, and patches the remaining hole.  You need to get a cornice or roof repair company to do a more sightly repair at that point, if you care about that. Best $650 I’ve spent, getting rid of early morning squirrel fights and travels over our AC ducts.

I think we have a squirrel hanging out in the crawlspace between our top floor ceiling and roof. Any suggestions on 1) who can remove it and 2) who could patch a small hole that might be under the eaves or in the cornice where the critter might be getting in? uestion

Squirrels are terribly destructive, get them out as soon as possible because they will gnaw through studs and joists like a beaver. I would recommend getting a Squirrel Evictor to get them out.
