We deal with squirrels all the time. This works 98 times out of 100.
1: locate entrance hole on exterior of house.
2: tape a cotton ball(real cotton) to a small rock, bolt, nut, etc... Make about 4-5 of them.
3: put 3-4 drops of fox urine on each cotton ball
4: disperse them evenly throughout attic
5: wait 2-3 days for them to all leave, then seal hole. *Do Not seal right away. Squirrels are weary animals and may sit in place for a couple days before they work up the nerve to actually leave. Good info. Thank you.

I need to get back up there and reset it, but I'm not as energetic about it today. Come to find out, squirrel trapping is a lot more fun after a bunch of Dos Equis. you sound like a very interesting guy

yea could tell you were drunk in the selfie was it the look on his face or just the fact that he took a selfie that tipped you off?
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

I want to hear the story of the 2 that got away... Did they have outside help? EAST that video rocked - he went from dazed and confused to raged and confused. Yo Doves Cry - what does a wicker chair, tanning bed, jar of peanut butter, and a bunk bed with no mattress all have in common?

I don't think those little traps work for tree rats. I think their tails keep the door from latching shut and they back out.
I had them in my attic years ago. Tried moth balls, fox urine, traps, nothing worked. Finally built a fish trap type cone out of hardware cloth and put it over the hole they were using. They could get out but not in. Then I shot every squirrel I saw.
I hate squirrels with a passion. It was not revenge I was after....it was a reckoning.

I think I'm gonna use the Shouse Maneuver on my squirrels. I'm never gonna kill them. But I will post pics of them on the THF for many years, until the squirrels feel like family to us all.
