    Red face Squirrel in House

    I have a squirrel in my house. I have a lab which has now chased it into the air return of my fireplace.

    I have removed the dog from the house, but have no idea how to remove the squirrel from the house.

    HELP please!

    No worries, he will leave after dinner.
    Actually maybe if you just propped the door open maybe he will go out. Just please keep the dog away.

    You have two choices.
    1. block the fireplace so the squirrel can't get out , go on the roof and remove the rain cover on the chimny. Then go back down and make some noise to scare the squirrel up and out. Don't forget to replace the screen on top of chimny.
    2. Open the door to outside closest to the fire place. be quiet and wait for the squiirrel to come out on it's own.....use some nuts on the floor to lure it towards the door. It should go out as long as things are quiet.

    Good luck Keep us posted!

    After you remove the rain cover/squirrel guard from the chimney top, secure a thick-ish rope to something up there on the roof and drop it all the way down the chimney so the fellow has something reliable to climb.

    Or, try plan 2.

    Good luck,
