Last year I just got rid of some squirrels and the other posters are right. You can rent a cage and I used peanut butter to attract them into the cage. Worked like a charm. Be sure you get all of them. They may have a mate and also go on the web and find out when they have their babies. You don't want to leave the little ones to starve. Then we relocated the squirrels in a wood area about 20 miles from our home. Good luck Marcy Many pet stores or even your local animal services will offer cages wherein you can place some food. When the squirrely enters, the cage door closes behind it and it can then safely be relocated outside. That, or leave a window or door open and it might simply leave on its own. Set a trap, there are squirrel traps at any farm supply store. you lure them with ham they love it

∙ 8y agoSetting out food that the squirrel likes in an area away from where you don't want them to be, and where you may like to see saplings some day, is one way of dealing with a squirrel problem. Their favorite snacks are black walnuts [Juglans nigra]. They choose them, and hickory [Carya spp] over all other food.

2. don't try to frighten it
3. if you can't wait for animal control, take a large container and try to throw it at the squirrel to capture it
4. if you have a gun... well you can see where this is going but this is not advised since if you don't get the squirrel, you can destroy most of the house especially is you keep shooting. even if you hit it, the bullet may just fly in and out of the squirrel onto more of your house.
5. keep it as a pet if it lets you and go to the vet immediately to get it tested and treated

Or buy one of those pest removers that plug into an electric outlet
