Release a trapped squirrel from a tree in a cool place at night. It may take the squirrel a few minutes to get used to the new environment and will be more willing to accept the new surroundings. Place the trap in a corner of the room so that it cannot escape. Remove any furniture and keep a safe distance from the trapped animal. Do not push or scream. Try to remain calm and do not touch the animal.
Before setting the trap, place some bait in the bottom part of the trap. Make sure that the squirrel is able to reach the bait. After placing the bait in the bottom of the trap, allow the animal to take it and leave the trap alone. Do not set the catch immediately. Wait a few days and then set it. Add more food until the squirrel is comfortable with the bait and you can release the trapped animal.
