There's good news and bad news.
Squirrels are game animals. There are "seasons" in which they can be killed,
etc. You'll have to have a hunting license, and so forth.
The good news is the damage they do is not incidental "rodent" damage as far
as insurance is concerned. Since they're game animals, and you can't kill
them (off season), well, there you are.
I have a nifty little lethal trap for squirrels so I checked with the
state about using it commercially. The different states may vary but in
Texas, as mentioned with them being a regulated animal they can only be
killed by what is considered legal means. Hunting. For problem
squirrels damaging a house the homeowner is supposed to contact their
town mayor's office or a Justice of the Peace, who in turns contacts the
game/wildlife people who will come out and evaluate the circumstance and
then give permission for lethal means if warranted. Saying that, every
game warden to animal control officer I have talked to has stated they
aren't worried about people killing problem squirrels, unless they get a
complaint (from a neighbor) in which they will have to investigate and
more than likely will end of fining the homeowner.
