Anyone have a good way to kill/get rid of a squirrel?

Ok, here's the thing: I had squirrels in my attic. We closed up the holes, but they chewed holes in parts of the roof over the porch. Each time we close them up, they chew threw again 🙁. It is really getting annoying and, well, I can't think of much else to do to get rid of these buggers. I'm all for non-lethal methods, if anyone knows any good ones.
 
I suggest a web of lasers attached to tripmines. If the squirrels make it through, they deserve to live in your attic.
 
put a bucket of water in the attic and put some food in the water in a container...they will fall into the bucket and will drown because they cannot get out.

Ha... welcome to my life. Link... After trying everything at my mom's house the only answer was death. Pellet gun to the head.

Or you can move out and sign the deed over to him. Either way...
 
hardware store / rat bait . they go to water and the they die. Must throw bait into attic with gloves on to keep man stink off.
 
You can try to get them out by placing mothballs in the attic. You have to keep changing the moth balls. Or you can close up all the holes but one, keep a vigil, and when they are all out close up the last hole. Last thing you want is to have one die up there!

Last solution is to hire a BIG A-Hole to get them out for you. Having a BIG A-Hole living with me got them out of the attic.

This/these are bionic as well 🙁

Each time we close up a hole, they chew a new one. They're loud too 🙁

And, Vich, what's so bad about killing a squirrel? It's not like I really want to, but they can do huge amounts of damage very easily. I have tried nonlethal methods, but they just aren't working.
 
Watch them and figure out which one is the leader/Alpha male. Dominate him through rape. The rest of them will get the idea and leave.
 
They sell traps that you put up against the hole and the squirrel goes in. Whatever you do get it taken care of before they chew through some wiring and burn your house down.
