Default Squirrels in Attic Vent

Even after cutting down trees near my house, I've got a squirrel
building a nest in an attic vent on the roof. The little devil just
climbs up the stucco chimney!

The vent has screen mesh at the bottom, so they don't get into the
attic itself, but I'm stumped for a control method. Trap at the base
of the chimney? Poison? I hate to put squirrel goodies so near the
house and attract yet more of the pests.

Ideas?

I would suggest trap near by. They may not be in now, but in the spring
when they want more room for the family, they are likely to chew their way
in.
