Default Squirrel Birth Cycle

Would that be like a bird house with a bigger hole?

sure there was a trap in place as they left, and no means to get
back in.

I am proposing to rout some squirrels from the space over my living
room ceiling before winter sets in. The point of entry is known and I
propose to set a Have-a-Heart in front of the opening to trap them as
they emerge. The opening will then be sealed.

this season? I want to avoid trapping *anything* at all cost for
obvious reasons

I cut back the tree that allowed them access to the roof, and the problem went

if you evicting them and have a tree nearby put up a squirrel house,
so they have somewhere to move.

its wrong to kill any animal unnecessaril;y
