Hi
Many thanks to everybody who took the trouble to reply.made 2 boxes out of plywood.18x7.5x7.5 and a 3inch square hole at one end,painted them dark oak fencelife,placed them near to trees i had seen squirrels in,about 2 metres away,well camouflaged,peanut butter and peanuts at the back of the tunnel and at the entrance,and bits of peanut butter on the approach,low and behold 1in each trap in less than 12 hours,i thought it would take a while for the paint smell to go it wasn't even dry ,and with the traps being new,but no their straight away,anyway thanks again for all the good advice.
