Squirrels under hood

My truck sits all week in the driveway and now there is a squirrel trying to make a hideout for all his winter stuff under the hood.. He ripped the insulation from inside of hood and chewd some wiring, plus piled a bunch of pine cones on the manifold. Is there anything i can use to repel it? I set a leg trap on the manifold to see if i can catch it.

I put bounce fabric conditioner(readily available in wifes wash room) in the hood and cab, works well and smells better than moth *****( never figured out how they held them down to cut them off).

My Dad and i have both had Chipmunks build nests in our air cleaner housings. Must be loud and windy when we crank them up.
