Help - squirrels in the attic

Whilst changing the facia's and soffits on the house, some squirrels have found their way into the attic - any advice on how to get them out. I would prefer not to kill them and leave the house intact.
Cheers
Rob

"Hav-A -Heart" traps and close the places they're using to enter/exit. Look for poorly fitting boards or wood that has rotted away (old roof leaks?).

Once the woodwork is finished, thats it they've no way to either enter or leave. Problem is its half done at present.
Once complete, one of those traps sounds like a good idea.
The cats up in the attic just now watching out.

My father uses fabric softener sheets in his deer blind to keep the creatures out and he swears that it works. You have to replace the sheets every few months, though.
