Good work tracking down the little buggers' access. A few minutes on the ladder and your troubles should be over. (Watch our if there is frost in the ground. A guy I know broke his back when his ladder slipped on frozen ground. Have somebody hold the ladder. Or better yet, You hold the ladder while somebody else goes up!) Hey, I'd go up if I was closer.

A trick we learned from our exterminators -- make up a cover out of 1/2 inch wire screen. Cut a slit in it, and then bend the sharp points of the wire out. You want a funnel type effect, so that any squirrels left in the attic have a way out, but the sharp points will prevent them from going in. Put that over the opening for a couple of weeks. While having a squirrel in the attic is bad, it's even worse if one is trapped up there -- because then they get anxious and try to chew themselves out.
After a week or so, go back and permanantly close the opening.
