Is there a better or worse time of day, ie; morning vs. evening, to make a positive set over a hole in the house? I'll be using RBGs, WCS tubes, and passthrough cages with one-way doors. Thanks

There’s no time better than just after you set the ladder up.

I don’t think it makes a difference. If they want to go in, or out, they’ll go through the trap. When they do it doesn’t matter.

^^^ nailed it. Except for flyers, daylight only, while they're sleeping. Colony trap will get them all coming out.

While the squirrel is inside. Then go flush it out of the attic, lol.

I went and set them today. As I was reaching up, he came flying out. About jumped off my ladder. I switched tactics and put a WCS tube flush to the hole. I hope he tries to go back in later today. (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) limb rat.

WCS tubes did the trick. When I arrived one was in the tube and the other outside trying to figure it out. He ran down the beam and into a second tube. 2 for 2 today
