Doesn't the fat content endanger the squirrel? I assume you care, since that's a live trap :) Andrew: What happens if the squirrel comes back and chews up the gloves? :) Slacker: Fritos and peanut butter?

He got into the house for a day and chewed up all our windows in his attempted escape. He also chewed up three doors and broke a bunch of plates while running around in a rampage (being chased by our cat) Long story - short. Squirrels like fritos and peanut butter.

They left a 30ft fiber run laying above ground for about 2 weeks and we have deer, fox, and teenage kids (obnoxious little buggers) in the area. I actually helped the cute install lady run the internal wiring (only took about 4.5 hours instead of the 8-9 she estimated when she got there) because I was eager to see if they'd have to rerun the outside lines...
