I have critters (likely rats) in my attic.
Does anyone have a critter getter person or company you recommend? I'm looking to have their access blocked and get rid of the ones, if any, currently up there.
Not using poison, because I have experience with dead critters in an attic...years of funky smells each summer!

I had a problem with squirrels one year. I had a tree branch that grew up against my house and the darn things actually chewed a hole through the siding. If I recall I think we used our local pest control company, Arrow. They set live traps in the attic space but, they would not fix the hole, I had to hire a contractor for that.

Good point. Maybe better cats?

Just throw 5 or 6 up there. The answer is definitely MORE cats, not BETTER cats

Was in an attic at a clients house recently, saw a mouse caring three babies on her back, in another part of an attic, I saw a snake. I’m sure they will meet soon .
Doesn’t help your situation.....

I use a product called Squirrel Away. Make sure to get the one made with Fox urine. I'm sure those damn squirrels don't think about how the Fox got in the attic But it keeps them away. https://www.amazon.com/100-Fox-Urine-Shake-Go/dp/B000QYBS4C

Seal up the holes where they are coming in with thick sheet metal or some expanded metal. If they have not all escaped, it won't be a problem after a few days. If you have a bird feeder or other such rodent attractant; remove it for a few days or place it near your property line next to your nearest neighbor. Your neighbors house will be a better home for them.
Squirrels have a small range of just a few acres and are territorial. Just like with thieves, you want to make your home least attractive. They will move on eventually.
I highly recommend a pellet gun. A neighbor told me he only pumps it 5 times, he thought it was stun mode. Until one started shaking when it hit the ground. He now pumps 10 times and tries to bury them before his wife finds out.
Just know if you get rid of all the squirrels you'll probably have more nuts around you. I know this from living in downtown Atlanta. The place is full of nuts.

I used these guys to remove squirrels from my attic: http://www.krazycritterremoval.com/
They repaired the damage and installed an extruder that lets the squirrels in your attic get out of the attic, but not get back in. It's a one-way door. Then when all of the squirrels were gone, the removed the extruder and patched up the hole. They also offer to blow insulation in your attic if you need it (I did).
Squirrels will try to get into your attic and will chew through any weakened wood to get in. So, I bought a pellet gun that can drop a squirrel with 1 shot with 1 pump. I don't tell my wife about shooting the squirrels though.
Whatever solution you go with, you must eliminate the opening into your attic or the problem will never go away.
