bye bye squirrel

This morning i checked the trap i set in the garage and found a squirrel in it! I took it miles away and set it free. Through reading i have learned that this may not be as humane as it seems though since squirrels are territorial. However it did need to be removed from my property as it could cause a fire potentially since it already ate through a few of the wires out there. As for the one that was in my wall i think i might have gotten rid of that one too, but only time will tell if it was effective. I ended up pulling the trim off the wall with a crowbar and that scared the squirrel a bit. Eventually i ended up prying part of the wall away until i could see into it's home and it had left. It turns out this was some sort of fireplace at one time so i then went and bought some "hardware cloth" to set up a squirrel guard for the chimney. Hopefully i sealed it off well enough and nothing else remains. If so then i'll try to figure out what i want to do with the area that it was living in. I'll at least double check the wiring as an outlet is close by. If anyone else has this problem i'd recommend checking the internet for yourself, but it looks like traps and exclusions are the only way to deal with them properly. Deterrents don't' seem to be recommended by anyone but the sellers.
