Use the rat trap & bait with peanut butter. IMHO they are just as or more so
tasty than squirrel. You just need more for a meal.

if you have ants and birds around you may want
to put them under a box with gaps in the sides.
otherwise you'll find birds in the rat traps too.

if you have extra sunflower seeds i mix them
in the peanut butter.

I have never found birds in the rat traps, but I always set them in
chipmunk runs between plants or tubs on the deck. IT isn't hard to see
where they are coming from and in the "real" garden, they leave
obvious holes. And really, there is no need to use anything beyond the
cheapest scrapings from an peanut butter jar. Frankly, I don't cater
meals to critters I am looking to knock off and I don't have trouble
getting them in the plain traps, either, with just a hint of peanut
butter scent and "l'eau de dead chipmunk."

I have found many odd creatures in the Have-a-Heart traps we set out
for groundhogs, though...skunks, possums, raccoons, cats, crows....and
the groundhogs, natch.
