A BB or pellet gun has always been my choice for squirrel control. Quick, quiet, and effective. Just be sure of your target and the things behind and beyond it.

Dead fish don't make reel music.
Len, I don't know about Wisconsin, but relocating squirrels etc... in Tennessee without a permit is illegal. Several parasite and disease problems have been spread much faster due to relocation of suburban squirrels, raccoons, etc... At least one research study was destroyed by relocated squirrels.

I got the information from the local police.
This is the way do it when they have squirrel problems.
Trap has been in place for 24 hours.
No takers.
Maybe my Anti-Squirrel Concoction took a while to work.
Dish washing liquid/cayenne pepper/black pepper/chill powder/ cinnamon/water.
Shook up in spray bottle and applied liberally to the eves and chewed areas.
I checked the trap three times to make sure not malfunctioning.
Food still full.
What are you using for bait? I know a man that was having the same problems except with raccoons. He couldn't catch any, untill he tried baiting the live trap with honey buns. I don't know about squirells but apparently raccoons have a sweet tooth.Might work with squirells too. It sort of makes sense if you think about it. If your trap is baited with something the squirells can get readily enough elsewhere, they aren't as apt to try it. But the sweet smell of a honey bun is hard to resist, and I suspect its hard to come by in a walnut tree.

peanut butter.
Is what pest control guy said was the best.
i've used peanut butter in mouse traps before and had pretty good luck. maybe they just haven't found your trap yet?!? Good luck with them.

Peanut butter. I made some of Neil's peanut butter suet for our birds. The birds wouldn't touch it, but the squirrels loved it.

Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some person ever reads.
Bait: Squirrels love corn. Cracked or whole it does not matter.
One to get rid of squirrels is to use Ammonia> Spray the area a few times a week and they will eventually get the message and move on.

Spinner,
I live on top of the Cleveland Metro Parks and boy did I have a squirrel and chipmunk problem. Then one day I heard a screech of a hawk. Problem solved. So if you're looking for a humane way and don't have hawks you can get a hawk decoy. Owl works too.
Good Luck,
Sean
Thanks Old Man GO IRISH!
