Humanely catching a squirrel involves using a live trap designed for small mammals. The trap should be large enough to hold the squirrel comfortably and have a sensitive trigger mechanism to ensure the door closes gently without harming the animal. Baiting the trap with foods that squirrels love, such as nuts, seeds, or fruit, will increase the chances of a successful capture. Place the trap in areas where squirrels are active, such as near bird feeders, trees, or along their travel paths. Once the squirrel is captured, check the trap frequently to minimize the time it spends inside. When releasing the squirrel, please choose a location that is safe and suitable for its survival, preferably within its natural habitat. Covering the trap with a blanket while transporting it can help keep the squirrel calm and reduce stress.
