Default Squirrels in Attic Vent

Get some rat traps, yes they have to go! They ate
my wiring in the attic, and almost burned my house down!
Thank God the breaker tripped! Bait the trap with peanut
butter..they like Jif. I caught 3 in 2 hrs.

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?
