flying squirrel

I think I have one in the attic.What`s the best bait to use for them.I`m getting ready to put a couple traps up their and a trail camera to make sure what it is.

Peanut butter


Find the entrance and put a cone on it. Make sure they can't get in anywhere else.

Thanks for the info.I put a camera up their and 2 traps.This is a newer home and sealed up pretty good.I have no idea where they are getting in.Closest tree is 40 yards from the house.

Brick or stone veneer?

New house aren't sealed up all that well.

x 2 on new houses not being sealed up well, I have flyers in a house that was just moved into. Guess builders forget all those little hard to get to spots on dormers & where roofs come together.

I would put a trap on a board on the tree and put black sunflower seeds in the trap. Wait until after dark to set the trap or you will get everything else in the trap. JMO

Update on the attic is that it appears to be just mice.I thought it sounded bigger than mice.I have lived hear for over 20 years and never had anything make a sound in the attic before.Caught 2 last night and set more traps today.

Squirrels sound like coons and coons sound like a person.

Yup. We usually say it's like a 5yo with a basketball in your attic.
