After setting out the trap for a month, finally caught the fucker.
Now what?

Quoted:
No proof it was the same squirrel who caused the damage. This one was just looking to make his life better and dindu nuffin. Shot the last one with a CO2 pellet pistol as he was running across the yard one day. Just tried to sight in my newest pellet rifle and took this one out. I'm thinking compost pile. |
| You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh,squirrel-kabobs, squirrel creole, squirrel gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple squirrel, lemon squirrel, coconut squirrel, pepper squirrel, squirrel soup, squirrel stew, squirrel salad, squirrel and potatoes, squirrel burger, squirrel sandwich. That- that's about it. |

They have great homing ability. He will be back if you move him. He daid now, D-E-D, daid.... eat him pansy ETA: actually, now that hes dead, tie some line around his neck, hide in the ditch and pull him across the road when cars come by. Film for our entertainment |

OK there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this idea, take the squirrel to the woods somewhere (although I'm fine with eating him also), but a thought for folks who trap other pest animals and "take them to the country" and set them free. We don't want your feral cats, raccoon, or possums; thanks anyway.
Quoted:
If you want to kill him, bucket of water. If not release in neighboring county/city. |

What did you use for bait? I catch them within minutes with peanut butter. Sardines or smoked oysters for Raccoon and skunks. My traps are bigger, though. Used a bunch of acorns, like 20, I collected from a cluster of trees and some wild bird suet I had left over. Tried peanut butter before and never had a catch. |

Quoted:
I've set a trap out in my front yard several times (chewing holes in my fascia) baited with everything from nuts to peanut butter and I can never catch those little bastards. Cracked pecans. Crush some to almost powder and sprinkle around trap. A few crumbs around the entrance(s). A few pieces inside the trap. Certain death for squirrels or coons. |

Funny thing is in Tennessee you can trap em but can't legally relocate them. You are supposed to kill them. Average Joe can't legally trap and move animals here.
I do however, a minimum of two miles for tree rats and chipmunks, and 3 or more for the little masked bandits that will tear the siding and roof off your house. |
