Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia

We live in a townhome. A squirrel entered our attic from a hole made by a squirrel from the outside of the neighbor�s roof. The squirrel entered the neighbor�s attic via the roof hole and ate their way over to our attic. The squirrels have nested in both attics. Our roof�s surrounding wood frame is fortified with metal over the wood so the squirrels can�t chew I but our neighbor�s wood is exposed and allowed the squirrel�s to chew a hole to the inside. Who is liable for the trapping, waste clean up and repairs?

Possibly, the neighbor if you can prove it by the legal evidentiary standard known as

the preponderance of the evidence.
