I had some that chewed a hole in my fireplace siding to get in and found out one rainy evening. Since then it has been war. I was able to close it up temporarily and then get a real repair done, but I continue on the northern front by shooting them off my bird feeder.

Buddy of mine in DFW had raccoons in his attic. Exterminator had him move out for the weekend and blasted tejano music. Raccoons moved on. Not sure how squirrels feel about tejano.

Looks like a fun way for a squirrel to store nuts for the winter

Stress and Mortality
Relocation causes high levels of stress for animals, leading to decreased chances of survival. According to a 2004 study, 97% of grey squirrels died soon after relocation from suburban areas to a large forest.
The high stress levels are from getting trapped, transportation to the new environment, exhaustion, and not knowing where to find food and water.
These factors alone decrease the squirrel's chances of survival.
I'm pretty sure I read on some Texas state wildlife web site as well.

Better yet, a very large rat snake! May take a while but he will clean them out.

The only thing I have to add is every since the thread was posted and I see the title, I get "Toys in the Attic" stuck in my head. Thanks OP.

The z-trap brand of dog proof trap works pretty well on squirrels. Has a push/ pull trigger.
