Jaeger Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Got to remove a couple of red squirrels from under a home trailer. Starting a nest in the floor insulation. Anyone got a recommendation on what to use? People have a dog that is running from one end of the trailer to the other at ~11Pm-3am barking because of it. Traps -live trap or is there a small cubby/110 set? Bait? I need to get them out quickly. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culvercreek hunt club Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I am in favor of the rat trap. Peanut butter works great but I have had them be gentle enough to lick it off and not set the trap off. I take a peanut and score a small ring around it with a file or a knife. then wire the peanut on the trigger through that little bait holder slot. Bread ties work great. Then slather a bit of peanut butter on it. even if they get the peanut butter off, at that point their wrestling to get the peanut always trips the trap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rate traps are a bit undersized if they are greys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 5 gallon pail with 8 or 10 inches of water in it. Float bird seed on surface of water. Place a notched piece of PVC across the top and a short piece of 2x4 up to the PVC from the ground. Takes care of reds, chipmunks, mice, voles, etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
