My mom has a skweryl in her attic. I've gone all around the outside and walked the attic space. I've found where it's living, I just can't find out where it's getting in, but that's for another day. I've set a live trap with no luck. Even put out some rat poison.

Does Aldeer have advice on the best way to catch this sucker?

Had them before. They ate the poison

No poison. That rascal would die in the walls and stink to high heaven. Peanut butter will get it.

Have-a-heart live traps baited with pecans is what I do, take them 20miles away or kill them when trapped

Peanut butter on a slice of apple will catch just about anything.

I used a pellet gun on the ones I had in the attic at my old house, I figured that gave them a sporting chance.

We had one once that we fixed the place it was getting in trapping it in the attic. The smell was horrible. I would advice against poison and not close it up unless you know he isn't there anymore,

I had flying skwerls. Live trap tripped, they ate the food and squeezed out. I wouldn't poison if you don't want the smell.

I have some very sensitive snap traps a client gave me. I screwed them to the wood in the attic so it couldn't move. Eliminated 7 over 3 nights.

Got a bat in the old farm house years ago. Killed it with a Lowe’s bucket lid by lantern light at 1 am. I’m guilty of night hunting using a light.

This^^. My dad didn’t screw a trap down once and the squirrel drug it all over the attic for days until he finally died. I have also drilled holes through the trap, taken a piece of wire and wired it down.

Big ole standard rat trap. Peanut butter. Tie trap down with something so it doesn't run off.

Peanut butter is the ticket.
