You'd do much better to get a catch alive trap for squirrels. *Fenn traps

Plan B if all else fails but if you're not good Plan A.

I'd rather let the fenn trap kill the animal than capture it live and
have to look it in the eye and kill it myself. I'm just a great big
Jesse really. I believe the live-capture traps are recommended where
there are other species (red squirrels in particular) that you don't
want to kill. The only other animals likely to get into my trap are
rats, and they're fair game.
