I have red squirrels I am going to have to live trap,, they’re worse than raccoons, little buggers ate a lot of my fruit last year,, too bad I live in the city limits, I’d blast ‘em.
We had squirrels nest in our attic year before last. My husband had to find the holes where they got in and then patch them when the squirrel family were out for a romp in the trees and yard. It was funny to see them come back from their romp and look for the way into where they had been nesting. They were confused and mad as all get out, lots of tail swishing and chattering.
We had set live traps for them, but they are smart, got the bait through the sides of the trap but never got caught.
