Put peanut butter in a live trap, the smell will attract it and then release it far from home in a secluded wooded area.

Put a big fat loudspeaker in your attic and play lionās roars and other animal sounds at intervals VERY LOUDLY.
Or get a guitarist to crank his shit through a full stack for half an hour, itāll run like hell.

I had a ferret that would do that with licorice. Grab one end and hang there shaking itās ass trying to pull it free. She was adorable and very determined, lol.

Often the local Animal Control will have live traps you can borrow from them.

Well this Squirrel has really pissed me off. This means war.
I got the squirrel trap.
If that doesnāt work.
I have a back up plan.
This things thrashing the shit out of things. Really disturbing me and my cats.
It is dark out right now and pissing rain.
Tomorrow, I will get my ladder, (probably rip my hernia surgery wound open lifting it)
And I will put the trap on the roof near the hole that it made.
I will have to run to the store an get some peanut butter, some peanuts, and maybe some other kinda nuts.
I donāt need this thing chewing electrical wires.
This is my back up plan.
Stoeger S4000-L
I figure a shotgun or sks would be a bit over kill so this should do the job.
I donāt like to hurt or kill animals, but I donāt need my house burning down cause of the little bastard.

My old landscaping boss used snakeshot to clear the bats out of his attic. Kind of a weird dude, but he got results.
I admire your compassion. Iām not a fan of capping an animal in cold blood.
Plants on the other hand, I want to burn every weed plant I see. Itās like a compulsion really.

we have a problem with squirrels here as well. rats are always an issue and managed to sneak their way into our house but thatās no longer an issue after laying out rat poisonā¦ i hope. the squirrels werenāt an issue until they got into our attic. 1 or 2 snuck their way into our laundry room, one of the dumbass squirrels chewed itsā way into a bucket of rat poison and died in there, lol. about 3-4 have been shot (bb gun) but occasionally weāll hear one in there. the house isnāt worth replacing the roof. i had to spend my outdoor funds on completely replacing a big section of roof, still leaving the floors and plumbing/electrical with work needed done. i thought about selling my seeds to fund all that but i donāt think that would be allowed. anyway, fuck squirrels and rats.

Rats are the effing worst! And theyāre so hard to get rid of depending on where they decide to live!!! Burrowing underground or crawling inside of walls and ceilings!
Iām not talking the cute ones that are bought at the pet storeā¦the feral ones are usually UGLY and SCARY too!
I watched a feral one kill a chipmunk over territory at the old building I was in, it was awful!

Donāt hurt yourself. Is there anyone who could help you out? Maybe you could use a long stick with a notch in it or something to carefully place the trap up there. Hopefully itās not trying to build a nest and have babies up in the attic, if it hasnāt already.

yep. it took a while to get rid of them, but thankfully i havenāt seen one recently. iām in chicago, (so big city + rats is common). they are pretty scary, years and years ago i shot a couple in trap cages and if they donāt die right away they violently jump all over the place while screaming.

@KanehB and @anonymous4289 I donāt have a rat problem, yet.
But I have seen them around here, I think they live under a neighbors place.
The ones I seen were as big as cats! I seen cats being chased from the rats!
Thats what I am afraid ofā¦then its a bigger problem.
I might try to give my uncle a call an see if he can do the ladder work for me. 
Iād use my Ruger 22, but its a bit noisey. I donāt want any one calling the red and blue lights over here. 
This new one I got is much quieter.

I am surprised that the stray cats that live outside around here donāt kill the squirrels? They kill birds and small rats and miceā¦ They donāt eat them though, they just kill them for fun.
