So is there anyone living in TV that actually had a squirrel take residency in his/her attic?

I am going to speak with another pest control guy to see if there is a viable solution
We had squirrels that took up residence both in a tall tree next to our carport and then up under the roof of the carport and lanai. Lady Lake animal control could only offer to trap and release on our own property - County does not permit relocation! So we had to hire a private trapper to trap and remove! $300 set-up fee and $100 each visit to remove! Thank goodness mother and babies liked the bait and all were trapped and relocated together. Thank goodness, too, that we got them gone before they moved into the house! Not very expensive to have the tree cut back after they were gone so it was all money well spent.
