Somewhat off-topic but does anyone have experience & success in ridding a house of a recent infestation of squirrels that are making their way into the house and now seem to be coming and going, as they please. They have found a way to get in through a hole in the ground that follows a pipe from the oil tank. In chatting with an exterminator acquaintance, my friend was told that, at this time of year, you probably don't have a hope in h--l of getting them out of the house. 
Admittedly, he has been picking them off, one by one with his son's pellet gun. Has dispatched 3 so far, as they are heading for the hole under the oil tank. The exterminator also said if you have seen 3 there are probably 10! Would coyote urine pellets work?
Does anyone have suggestions? Ugh! Squirrels in the house is not a good thing!!

Many thanks,
