You need know laws where you live. Some places like here make trap and
release illegal but you can trap and kill the animal. I released a
squirrel right in front of a cop once but he said nothing.

It's not merely trap-and-release. The laws also vary regarding killing
squirrels. Gray squirrels are native to southern California and are
protected by law. Red squirrels, however, are an introduced species and
may be killed.
