I live in a second floor apartment in Park Slope and squirrels have built a nest beneath an air conditioner I have in one of my front windows. The fact that they're nesting in that spot doesn't really bother me except they're stashing all kinds of garbage up there that ends up falling to the ground and freaking out my old landlady.
I realize that it's probably technically my landlady's responsibility to do something about it, but for a number of reasons that I won't get into right here I'd just prefer to take care of it myself. Anyone have any advice? Should I call a pest control service? Should I have a friend come over and help me pull out the A/C unit and then remove the nest by hand? My only reservation about that is I'm concerned there might be squirrel babies in the nest. I'm not sure what to do in that situation.
