you can buy the cages at northern tool and equipment. they're about $45
each. there are also people that will do this for you. some guys from a
place that i think was called "country critter" did some removal for me. [a
yp.bellsouth.com search did not find them but did find others.] they did it
humanely. safe capture and then a release out in the country.
i think that steve's recommendation is strong, also. if you don't figure out
how and why they got in then it's a futile effort.

First, figure out how they got in and block that access. We had some in our
attic (ate through a rotten place in one of the eaves) and it took us
rebuilding the rotted bits to keep them out.

I tried putting mothballs in the hole - they ate them. I heard they really
dislike pepper spray, and you can put vinegar in half-milk-jugs nailed to
the rafters, that supposedly keeps them away, too, but YMMV.
Good luck. I hate squirrels.
