The primary reason I dont and wont set traps inside an attic or home unless I have access or assurance of access upon the initial service call from the customer or custodian. im with Bob J. on this one,,i never set inside a dwelling UNLESS its an empty or vacated home and I have the key. The only way I do it otherwise is to SELL them the eqpt WHEN I set it for a high enough price to compensate myself for the job. THEN if they want me to come back they can PAY me to come check THEIR trap.......if they balk at that you can always offer to buy the trap back when finished at a reduced price. I DONT

I had that happen on Monday. They wanted me to set in the crawl space and something just didn't seem right so I set outside. Well they haven't been home since. I do have one right now that won't return calls and is about a week late on paying his bill so I will be forced to bring back his squirrels for him.

I have no problem setting in a home. Never had a problem. Been doing so for 12 years. I prefere to trap in the home and catch the target animal instead of catching every animal in the neiborhood other than the one getting in the house.

The way I look at it is the customers home is a harborage, I always say they are using your home as a hollow tree, and they have to go out for food and water. I like my trap less than two feet from entry or on travel route and if animal is in attic or chimney that trap is on roof. Trap on ground for crawl spaces, porches a positive set is hard to beat. While I have and will put a trap inside home it's the same as all of you have said, access along with issues of bringing a live animal through their living area, baits used that have fruit or nut extracts or ingredients that could cause an allergic reactions in customer or their children is a issue I wouldn't want to deal with. For an animal in the living area of home I don't want to even set a trap I want to leave with that animal,catch pole, hand removal whatever is needed to end it before I leave. As far as catching every animal in neighborhood with traps set at entry point that isn't a issue and to be blunt I don't want to catch any animal but the ones in homes so we can get to the repairs. Animals trapped in attic/home due to roofers or other repair people we will set trap in interior as they don't have a way out, but we do have a waiver signed just for the possible fecal contaminates, urine, escape or issues with reactions due to bait/lure used.
