I encountered one in a garage once and I didn't care for that; I would not like to see one in my house.
I captured a squirrel in the house by standing on the kitchen table and dropping a laundry basket over it as it raced around.
Our opossum was obvs scared, but didn't freak out; I've heard what a nightmare a squirrel can be inside the house and I'm glad it ended well for you all!
It was college ( thus the crappy apartment with a squirrel hole in the roof) and we were all drunk so it's amazing that all humans and animals were unscathed
