Review:  Last week while school was closed, I relocated a family of squirrels that was nesting under our middle school solar roof, chewing the wires, and damming up water with nesting debris, causing leaks into the social studies room.  I saved the school a ton of money, saved a family of squirrels, and overcame my fear of heights.  In the pic you can see the papa squirrel emerging from under the solar panels to check out my non-lethal trap baited with apple and peanut butter.  The space under the panels was protected by a critter guard, but he simply bent it away to create a doorway to his private domain.  In the next pic he is getting a ride to a nice wooded area far away!  I caught four of them during the break this way.  Next, the solar company can now come to fix our solar panel wiring.
