Squirrel Trapping: How To Trap a Squirrel - The most effective and preferred way of getting rid of squirrels is to trap them using numerous safe and flawless methods. The main intention of trapping should be to catch squirrels alive and abandon them securely to a distant area. Here a little discussion on trapping, baits, and methods will make it clear.

Body Grip traps: These trapping are a type of lethal traps used to catch giant squirrels. There are several types of lethal traps and this one is the commonest type with connibear trapping and double spring-loaded features. Old-time fur squirrel trappers are usually using these types of trapping professionally. They are relying on the basic that squirrels will move around an area and they will be able to catch them by constantly searching and seizing the holes' openings. They identify the route between the external holes and attic and snap down on the squirrels to kill it by crushing or choking. Since, these methods are very tough to use, a very few people except old fur trappers are going to use them. However, there are good alternatives other than using such methods although sometimes, these can also be effective. Unless you are stuck with a huge disturbance by squirrels you must avoid such methods.

Live cage trap: By far this is one of the most preferred ways of getting relief of wild squirrels and is adapted by most wildlife removal companies as well as homeowners who go for do-it-yourself strategies. Cages are built with metals where squirrels will enter because of being lured in by foods. There is a trip pan close to the back of the cage. Whenever squirrels enter into the cage and find the pan the trap door becomes shut resulting in confining the animal inside almost alive! Some of this cage can also be made of different materials including solid-walled plastic. But, steel bars are the common metals used for this purpose. This type of trapping is friendly to nature and is flawless on most occasions.

Baiting gently works when it comes to getting rid of squirrels. In some cases, baiting depends on the fortune but you can expect a good result if you can make it consistently. Peanut butter is a sample of food which can be used for baiting squirrels. They would like to eat the offered food item and as soon as they get inside the cage and step in the pan the door gets closed. This method helps the homeowner catch squirrels alive with no damage.
