    If there is acorns up there that means they are leaving to go get them...Find the hole or holes they are coming in and out of and close them off.

    Get a cat and put up there for a day or so for a few hours

    does it matter?
    There is a poison that dehydrates them that I used when I had the same problem. It works as an embalming process so they die and don't smell. Don't ask me how, but it works. I can't remember the name of the stuff but my wife got it at the garden place on OLEANDER.

    Seal off the attic access and put a handful up in the attic and check it every couple of days. Replenish as needed. After about a week or so,your problems should be dead.

    The pellets look about the size of a MENTOS candy and are green, so you can count them easily to see if they are still taking them.

    Also, ANY CHANCE you get to shoot them in the area of your house or yard will soon get the message in their heads that your place is not the place to be.

    Good luck. Those little bastards cost me close to $100,000 in repairs done to our kitchen and dining room.
