Squirrels recently chewed 2 large holes in the siding, building a new home and were working on three more when we got the call. It’s nesting time, so squirrels often move into attics and walls to have their young. Comstock nose cones were used with Comstock double door, swing panel trigger traps, without bait in positive sets. The pair of squirrels was taken in hours overnight. This method takes squirrels coming and going from either direction and does not rely upon attractants. All the squirrels have to do is move. The top picture shows a close up of the squirrel on the right of the bottom picture, while the second picture shows a close up of the squirrel of the squirrel at the left of the bottom photo. The set at top left employed two traps, while one trap was set lower right. This method of baitless trapping is used with both skunks and woodchucks on the ground and can be used for other animals as well.
