Ugg, squirrels are such a pain in the ass. And the problem is, if you don't get rid of them soon, they leave a scene behind basically calling to others.
There was this section of the house that last year, squirrels had clawed away at enough to fit into. We kept hearing them trying to get in. I put up a mesh to try to keep them out, I think it might have lasted 15 minutes. Next day it was all bent away and hole was back. Finally I just took sheet metal and nailed it in place, and we haven't had a problem since. There's really no telling where they're coming in at your house. They are devious and persistant buggers though. Good luck getting rid of them.
We tried to hire someone to fix this, but he was so busy helping a farmer with a beaver problem that he kept missing appointments with us. I wouldn't have minded the rescheduling, however, we never got a single phone call telling us he couldn't be there. I would call him toward the end of the day and ask him if he was coming that day and he said he couldn't make it. Imagine if my schedule was like a normal person and I'd had to take off work all those days that he didn't show up. Finally one day when I called him after the third reschedule, and he said he couldn't possibly be here at least for another another week. When I asked if he knew anyone else who I could hire, he said that there was only one other guy in the state licensed to trap or hunt out of season and that I would go to jail if I hired anyone else. It was implication in his voice and the lack of professionalism that pissed me off, so we decided to handle this ourselves.
I remember your travails of last year when you were helping kothoga with the opening in her (I think)

Ugg, what an asshole. Yeah, don't go with him. Even if for no other reason than principle. You won't go to jail for hiring someone else, they'd get into trouble for actually doing the trapping without being licensed(is my thought). Gahhh, that pisses me off.
Yeah, basically the sheet metal didn't really give them a hold, and the entire hole was covered up, sooo.
