I just trapped them in a cage trap....drilled a 1/8 inch hole through the walnut and suspended it with some trapping wire...behind the trip pan.....then I gave said squirrel a lead pill .....

I collect up walnuts as I have no walnut trees , I keep a pail of them and toss a walnut to the back of a live trap , when they go in for it , they are dinner.
I have also use peanuts but those are best placed in a can wired to the back so they can't grab them without going in
I guess I have also used bird seed and corn.
try some of each
why do you need to give it a home , even people in NYC can live trap squirrel and eat them.
take them in your garage where it is legal to discharge a pellet gun and have dinner town squirrels are well fed and quite tasty.
relocation may be against the law check your regs it would be here unless you own or have permission to release animals from the owner
some hardware cloth and a big hose clamp to cover the pipe might be in order
I have trapped squirrel in my yard till I go a week empty with 2 set traps every fall for about 5 years , there are always new squirrels a month later they move in

Times 2. Doubt will catch them all in a cage trap in the near future.
Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

I just live trap them with Black Oil sun flower seeds. I just push the seed on a sqr. paste I put on the pan of the trap. Always some seed behind the pan.

if the house was plumbed right the stack is 3 or 4 inch from roof to sewer line or septic tank and they shouldn't have an issue plugging , but some times old houses were not vented right
