[Shop-talk] Squirrel in basement

[Eric Murray]

When I trapped small rodents for wildlife studies, peanut
butter was the bait of choice.  Just about every small mammal likes it.

If the squirrel's entry point is still open you can try chasing it
around the basement to encourage it to leave that way, then close up
the hole so it can't get back in.


If you are live trapping don't forget to leave some
cotton or other fluffy nesting material in the trap so the critter
can stay warm overnight.
