You can buy a live trap that will not harm the squirrel. After you capture him, take him somewhere and release him. You also need to locate where the squirrels are coming in and and repair the hole.
If they are entering from a vent that needs to be open, cover it on the inside with a metal screen. Make sure when you do this, that no squirrels are already in your loft. Even if you are not concerned for the squirrels, you will be of the smell!

You have to in finding the entrances and canopy them with hardware cloth. This can be a very heavy monitor that they will not be equipped to chew by way of. Average reveal is vain...They have tooth like hacksaws. Nevertheless you need to make sure all the critters are out of the field before you seal it off or you is not going to most effective have noise you can have an awfully nasty smell fairly quickly because the animal/s will die. If they are now not nesting within the loft yet then do the sealing in the evening if you find yourself rather unique they are out of the apartment. If they've already begun to settle in that you can are attempting the aroma aversion healing or which you could get have-a -coronary heart traps.

Put a radio up there, and tune it to a talk station, so that it sounds like people are there 24/7. I read about this, and it is supposed to work to get them out, and then you plug the hole they used to get into your loft.

Squirrels are regarded as vermin, so I would contact my local council if I were you and ask if they have a service to get rid of them. It might cost you but it has to be worth it in the long run.
Best wishes

You might have to seal off where they are going in. Make sure you have them all out first. Put a smoke bomp . Are they scare of people if so put a small doll around that area with clothes that have your scent. It helps like a scare crow some times. Pem

your local council will get rid of them for a charge, they are vermin so you do really need to get rid of them, they dont have to be harmed, probably only other way is to try to coax them with food, but i think you are better the first way i said, my husband thinks we,ve got bats in ours! hope you get sorted
