Best squirrel bait to trap squirrels?

Squirrels are common invaders of our homes, especially in attics.  Getting rid of squirrels quickly is important.  Squirrels use our attics to nest but the most serious problem with a squirrel infestation is not the mess they make.  Squirrels not only chew through siding and fascia; but also electrical wiring creating a potential fire hazard.

Squirrels can be trapped and removed through live catch traps.  Choosing the best squirrel bait is essential.  Squirrel baits include peanut butter, nuts, seeds, popcorn, and fruit.  If unsuccessful in trapping squirrels, hire a local pest company specializing in wildlife removal.
