huntinjunkie - Which genus of squirrel are you trying to exclude? Flying Squirrel- Glaucomys? Pine squirrel- Tamiasciurus? Eastern Gray Squirrel- Sciurus? Or other? Different techniques may be required for various species. From your location I suspect it is either Glaucomys or Tamiasciurus. We don't have Pine Squirrels around here; I understand that they are about the same size as Flying Squirrels. Positive set Multi-catch cage traps work well for flying squirrels around here; even young ones. In an attic; large, baited rat traps set near the flying squirrel entrance work good. Feel free to PM me for pictures.

Good picture Brian. Do I have this correct? . It looks like the Pine Squirrel is larger than the Flying Squirrel. I have had no problem getting small Flying Squirrels to enter into my mult-catch cage traps.

That's correct Ron, and all of them will go into a colony trap. I've caught a gray and 6 flyers in same trap at same time. Also caught a red and 4 flyers together. I use colonies 100% for the flyers. For grays only for juvies, and most of the time for reds (pine) along with every other trap that will catch a red. I've caught 22 flyers, 3 adult grays (six juvie grays), 5 reds, at one time respectively, in colonies. As many as six skunks in a larger colony. Colony traps aren't just for muskrats. Anywhere that you can positive set, a colony will work. I haven't figured out a colony for coons yet. And to huntinjunkie, get rid of the glue boards and get real traps. Glue boards have their place, but not often.
