So i have a live animal trap which is for small animals and i was wondering what kinda bate do i use to trap the squirrels? I have some chicken food on the trigger plate atm but its not working.
 
My wife, the squirrel rehabber, says to use nuts. Peanuts or pecans are like candy to them. Take a paper plate and cut it into a small section then put a dab of peanut butter on it so you can stick the nuts to it. If you shell them the aroma will be more enticing.

She uses the Havahart-type trap in case you are wondering.

Good luck.

thanks. I have bated it, im hoping that admiral ackbar doesn't come out of no where and yell its a trap.
 
I stuck some peanut butter on some cardboard,and then sprinkled it with BOSS. I have caught squirrels in the 1089 havahart and repeating squirrel trap.
