- Any general tips and hints on trapping squirrels?

In my general reading on moving live animals I read that it may be
better to euthanize rather than move because the animal may have a hard
time establishing a new home (resident animals will fight it off).

I have squirrels that want to live in my attic intermittently.

I set a Haveaheart trap and caught a raccoon! I euthanized it with dry
ice dropped into water (generates carbon dioxide) in a contractor grade
garbage bag. If I had to do it over I would buy a very large plastic
box for this because I could control the seal better. This is one of
the more accepted animal euthanasia methods.

I am a softee so could not bring myself to setting the trap again!!

I cannot determine where my squirrels are coming in from (old pier and
beam house). No obvious roof penetrations. If I could I would try
exclusion.
