Loose squirrel in store
So I work in a small smokeshop in a shopping center in Philly. This Saturday I had the doors open and a squirrel came into my store. I turned my back for a few seconds to grab a broom to try to shoo it out, and when I turned back it was gone from sight. I grabbed a flashlight to check all around the store and couldn't find it nor did I hear any noises. I assumed it had ran back out.
Several hours later I closed the store and assumed it was gone bc I didnt see nor hear any sign of the squirrel the whole day. I left for the weekend and came back this morning (Monday) and saw several little cigar boxes tipped over, so I decided to check the cameras and.. it was the squirrel.. so I grabbed the flashlight again and check more thoroughly this time behind every cabinet and in boxes etc. and still no sign of it, nor any sound! I tried stomping around to scare it and hitting all the cabinets, no use. I dont have food anywhere and I didnt see any squirrel droppings, I'm so confused how it is hiding so well without making any noise and without me noticing it for hours at a time.
Any suggestions? I dont want it to like die in a corner somewhere and rot in my store.. there are openings in the ceiling it could technically crawl up but I'd assume I would hear it moving if it did?
[Edit] IT FINALLY LEFT! Any chance I can get sick from any kind of disease since its been in the store for around 3 days? I dont see any droppings but I havent looked everywhere and heard to search behind big cabinets
