For what it is worth, it is easier to go to your local hardware store and get a small animal trap.Whats an easy way to make a squirrel trap?
A milk crate with a brick on top for weight. Hold it up with a small stick , with a short string tied to it and bait . Peanut butter works good . Rout the string from the stick threw one of the holes in the back and back in so the stick is pulled inwards. Make sure that the stick is right on the edge so the squirrel don't have to pull hard. When he grabs the peanut butter the stick will come out and trap the squirrel.Whats an easy way to make a squirrel trap?
you can make one that will also let you transport the squirrel by making a box with one end open. the box should be big enough so that the squirrel will go in and not feel crowded. on the open end you will need to make a sliding door that will move freely. take a standard mouse trap and mount it on top of the box. to the bait platform on the mouse trap you tie a string that hangs into the box. on the arm of the trap that ';gets'; the mouse you tie another string that is then tied to a nail or pin that holds the sliding door open.


your bait goes on the string hanging into the box, then set the mouse trap and put the pin under the sliding door.


when the squirrel takes the bait it trips the mouse trap which pulls the pin and drops the door.
