Default Do I evict the squirrel?

He's been living in the loft space of my workshop's pitched roof for about
2 years and has made a nest and chomped his way through about a metre of
lighting circuit insulation leaving 3 bare cores right where his nest is-
quite amazing really- the RCD saved his life

Apart from that he's not been too much trouble - so far!

He got in through the open soffits which I have now covered on one side and
am about to do the other, but I'm slightly reluctant to turf him out, not
really sure why, I'm not a bunny hugger, but...

Is this not a good time of year to do it? Will he be able to relocate?
Should I check to see if he has a family first?

****! I do sound like a bunny hugger!
Is there a housing association for squirrels?
Oh Christ, should I just shoot the bugger...

best of both worlds option: fit a kennel/box made from somthing hard
like fibre cement.
