I have one ,possibly two piney squirrels in my shed. I have had them before but within a day or two have trapped them. This guy I guess does not like corn, peanuts or sunflower seeds , as my traps have been untouched for two weeks. I watch him scamper right by them both inside the shed and outside. I have both small live traps and victor rat traps, both have always worked before. I'm out of ideas, next step is either poison or sit out there all day with a .410. Any advice ? -thanks

Them little buggers can be persistent. If they won't take bait I usually just put the trap where they have to cross it in their travel. Maybe run them threw a 110 Blind side them..If you know where their coming in put some sheet tin or hard ware cloth over it. I've also air gunned a lot of them.

I use LT's Black walnut bait first and usually get them all wit that.
They will get nailed with a open ended (both ends) box tunnel with "rat strength" glue board inside. Mount the tunnel box up off the ground.
