Personally, I would drive him out of the space by tossing a couple ammonia drenched rags up into the spot where he is nesting, and then after I know he's out, I would nail or staple chicken wire or hardware cloth over the opening.
I've got no real problem with killing him though, it's just that I am cheap and don't own a trap, but I have all that other stuff on hand in my junk filled basement.
