Hairy Houdini Squirrel went for the lushious peanut butter bait one too many times this morning.
And this time I did not handle the cage wrong, nor did I place him into the waters in trashcan of water in a way that allowed an escape.
I searched the house yesterdy and found a large plastic container larger than the live cage. I filled it with water last night. Hairy Houdini Squirrel went in horizontally that didn't release the doors and he didn't make an escape.
It was quick. 5 seconds of confusion, one blurp, and gone.
I have set the cage-trap up again, because my heirloom tomatoes are ripening, but I am VERY much hoping Hairy Houdini was the last of the squirrels who had learned to raid the garden.
I am designing a total 1" chicken wire garden enclosure for next year that will keep all natural animals around the yard out. I do not wish to kill anything again.
But I HAVE learned how to set a live cage on the top on a fence that doesn't fail. I will post tomorrow about that for people that want to know for their own reasons. You don't have to read it.

I feel your pain but man, I just gave up. Of course I don't have the acumen to do anything. I'm helpless where making/building is concerned.
