    Trapping squirrels

    We had squirrels chew through our soffet and now running around in our attic. I managed to clip 2 with a bb gun, but there's still squirrels running. Went and bought a trap and baited it with peanuts, but looking for any tips. Better bait? I tried peanut butter but no dice with that. Do i need to disguise the trap? Different bait?

    I'm no help, but good luck to you. The squirrels did the same thing to my father's home in Dallas several years back. On Thanksgiving day I could hear them running around behind the cabinets. It didn't seem to bother my dad very much.

    I don't know how he finally got rid of them. Good luck!

      Get everyone out of the house and set off some pest bombs. 3 or 4. Get out and come back later. They will either b gone or REAL GONE. Either way, problem solved

        Pecans work pretty good.

                I always just used old corn cobs... worked like a charm, or even just corn in a little bowl

                    I was hoping for more fun to ne honest. Either knock em down with the bb gun or trap em and kill em. I'm boiling their skulls and adding them to my trophy room collection. This is personal dammit

                      Corn and pecans so far. I may load up a dang feast for em if it will lure em in to the trap quicker

                        I have used pecans with success, but you have to crack them and put them inside a small wire cage which is then wired to the trap trigger---

                        My Sheridan Blue Streak does 'em really well too.

                          Dog or cat food works like a charm.

                            Yep...they can't resist pecans!! Drill a hole in one and wire it to the trigger.
