I can safely say that if you bait with peanut butter they wont be able to help themselves. I would dilute some smooth peanut butter down with a little vegetable oil and some peanut oil. Smear this liquid on the access to the peanut butter so theres plenty on. You want the squirrels to walk through it and leave a scent trail for the others. bait the second day, then trap the third. You'll have the whole troop of squirrels on that scent trail looking for the salty peanut butter,. If i want to catch volume i always prebait this way and let the squirrels advertise the bait for you bu their feet..

"Bob's yer uncle!" What a peculiar saying! I've only heard it once before; the Anthony Hopkins character in "The World's Fastest Indian" used it several times. Was a Kiwi, I believe.

The real term is:
"Bob's yer Uncle, Fanny's your Aunt"

"Kiwi" = New Zealander. The "Indian" of the title was an Indian motorcycle. The guy was doing speed trials on this bike, all on his own and on a shoestring. Good flick.

It's been over a month now and I have used two-door cages, large two-door cages, regular cages, large plastic cages smeared with gobs
of peanut butter and I haven't had any of the 8 cages touched. But they still keep ripping open the bags of bird seed and sunflower
seed. I think they're just keeping in practice. They already have enough seed scattered throughout the building to keep them in
business until about 2017. I'm really getting tired of those grey squirrels flipping me the bird every time I check the cages. In the
meantime, in a week, I have caught nearly a dozen red squirrels at one of my regular customers, so I'm not exactly losing my touch.

Wide open building. I know I will catch them later on in the fall but I'm supposed to be a professional and catch them now. I look
more like a protectionist on this job.

How about a 220 on a leaning 2x4/2x6? Use the 2" edge. Drill holes in a bottle cap and put onto trigger wires. Put PB and seeds in the cap.
