I'm sorry about your problem, and I know it's not funny because WE had squirrels in our attic a few years ago. My husband was out of work and we wanted to get rid of them ourselves but there is just no way you can do that safely. Poisoning them will resultl in a big stink in your home, and all those electric squirrel chases they advertise don't work. If you plug up the holes they're using to get in the house they will die and stink up the place, or they will gnaw a hole to get into a room somewhere. Squirrels are really a terrible problem. We ended up calling our local Critter Control guy, who got up on the roof and set live traps, which caught them all. He inspected all around our roof and found 4 openings they were using to get in, but he did NOT plug up the holes and now the squirrels are back !!!!! and they have actually damaged our roof, which will now have to be repaired. My advice to you is look for Critter Control in your yellow pages, get them over there right away, pay what you have to pay, and plug up the holes. We paid in advance for the one-price package deal, which was cheaper than paying "per squirrel removed" because we have alot of squirrels in this neighborhood --- must be because of all the nuts who live on this street. (sorry, couldn't resist that one.) Good luck, friend.

Cut down the trees around your house so they can't jump on to the house. Then get a cat to keep them away. You might set mouse traps with food to bring them out of the walls and etc or mix some corn meal with plaster of Paris and place it where they will eat it. It will become hard when they eat it, but if they die in the walls you could have a smell that won't go away for a long time.
Also, you could get a swinging kitchen trash can and put some corn meal in it and then you could let them go into the wild.

HA HA HA HA HA!! Oh, man, I have no idea, but the mental picture your question called up just about knocked me out of my chair! Flying squirrels! In the house! Whoooo! Sorry.
I'd call an exterminator. They can get them with live traps that'll catch 'em without killing them, if you want.

get rid of trees that are close to your house
you can try pepper spray on the areas they come in at
going have to close up the areas they come in at check roof vents if the screen inside is ripped.
