First find where the squirrel is entering your loft space, it's normally through a hole in the soffit board or a gap between the slates and the barge board just behind the gutter. Don't fill or block off the hole untill you're certain your squirrel's not in residence, it'll only make some more hole's to get back out or might die of starvation trying to escape, ruining your underfelt or possibly chewing through your wiring in it's frantic search for an escape route

The Squirrel Trap will operate vertically, horizontally and even at an angle. it's flush fitting door enables The Squirrel trap to be fitted flush to the squirrel's exit hole
Your first step to catch your Grey Squirrel is to do a little detective work. Find the path that the squirrel is using to your loft or where ever it shouldn't be. To find this path, you must first watch your grey squirrel's routine. Normally, a grey squirrel will leave the nest at daybreak or shortly after in search of food. If you can get up this early and stay awake it's the best time to watch and wait. Find a place where you can view your house and the squirrel's entrance hole. Be very still, and watch how the squirrel gets to or from it's home to your's. E.g. climbing, jumping or both. Once you discover this path, you should place the squirrel trap accordingly.
Choosing your trap.
