2. We had the same problem a few weeks ago

darn thing got in the garage through a cracked window, and it's open to the attic. Once we figured out it was in there, we closed up it's entry point, and then we started hazing it. I sent my son up to the attic 3 times before we got it to move out of there. He'd just make a lot of noise, poke around in the corners and generally just make it feel unwelcome. I went through the house a few times a day banging on the ceiling hard enough to make noise, but not put holes in the ceiling. (well, just one..) The third time he went up there, it had left so we closed up the attic and hoped it was gone for good.

nope. It found a space under the old shelving in the back of the garage, and I heard it a few days later. We did the hazing again several times a day until it finally decided it wasn't worth the racket we were making and it moved out. we opened the large garage door each time so it had a very large exit to make for.

good luck!
