How Does a Squirrel Trap Work?
A Metal Box A squirrel trap is a metal box about 24 inches long. It has a door at one end and a trip lever in the center of the cage that brings the door down once the squirrel has gone far enough inside the cage to touch it. Peanut butter often makes a great bait for catching squirrels but pieces of fruit will work just as well as long as the squirrel can’t get more of the same somewhere else with less effort. The main idea of a live trap is to catch the critter without harming it and hopefully remove it to another site if such is legal to do in your area. Some people use the traps to catch the animal and then remove it for humane killing elsewhere. Squirrels can be a real problem in a home, often getting into attics or crawl spaces and chewing stuff up. The trap can get them out of your home but you have to follow through afterward to keep them out by making sure that you permanently block the entryways that the squirrels got in through using sheet metal.
