Try Jake the master trapper

That's insane.

They do not serve DC itself, but you might get some good advice and a cheaper referral if you call Jesse James Critter Gitters. They know what they are doing and are super nice.

I got rid of a squirrel in my ceiling with cottonballs soaked in peppermint oil. It's a deterrent and they will move out on their own.

When we had a squirrel, we figured out where it was getting in and then, after we knew it was out, sealed it with a can of spray foam.

It took some observation on our part and a few days....

I love squirrels, but it's super easy to stick a trap up there, grab him and then relocate him yourself. Just make sure to drive a few miles, because they CAN and WILL return right to your house.

For that much, I would bring the squirrel a basket of acorns and make peace with the squatter upstairs.

Are you in the DC area? Call Adcock’s to remove the squirrel. Then get a handyman to assess how to patch the entry point.

That is insanity OP! Wait until it's gone again, then call a handyman to board it up. Or call a pest control company + handyman.

You're not going to pay the same amount as a trip to Italy, to get rid of a squirrel! Stop it.

Call a pest control removal company and see if they can remove but that doesn’t solve how they are getting in… contractor ?

How much of that was removal and how much was repair? If you need something repointed to prevent access that might be a good price.

And if this is helpful, we are in DC and have tall trees all around us so this problem of squirrels getting into house won't be going away

Please help. I can hear a squirrel above me in a crawlspace between ceiling and attic. It was in the same spot a few months ago, so we got an estimate from a wildlife company for $4700 to remove the squirrel by a "one-way door" and repair the area where the squirrel is getting in. The squirrel noise went away so we didn't do anything. I started hearing it again yesterday and all day today. Is this really a $4700 repair?? Any thoughts or guidance is much appreciated.

Signed - going crazy while working from home listening to the squirrel above me
