I will tell you that squirrel relocation is not acceptable and only helps spread disease when you relocate an animal. Squirrels build a cache of nuts and other foods for them to eat in the winter, if you relocate an animal from its saved food source, you essentially starve the relocated squirrel to death. This is unacceptable.

Squirrels do not see this everyday. So they are naturally a little suspicious of the traps. All precautions must be taken to ensure you catch the squirrel the first time.
