I have found that an open bowl of white vinegar in a room is a good way of removing unpleasant odours.

As for the squirrel, you can either evict it or charge it rent (good luck with collecting payment *grin*)

Could be a tree shrew, but I don’t think so – they choose dark holes as far as I know. Birds would not be able to manoeuvre such large twigs unless they were large birds, and large birds would never be able to get in through the window gap.

And yes, squirrels do build nests.
