they wait until they are ready to have their little ones, and then build the nests very quickly they are very industrious. I am in a corner unit and it is more protected than some of the other units.
I have a balcony and from the time I bought the unit (17 years ago), I noticed the squirrels try to build nests on my balcony all the time. Is this a NJ thing? By the way, we call them tree rats because that is where they should be building their nests/homes. Insert one end of the MIDDLE pipe into the open end of the PVC coupling fitting on the TOP pipe. The remaining pipe is the MIDDLE of the trap. (Do not use PVC adhesive or glue to attach the fitting.) Step 5: Assemble and bait the trap
On the outside of the pipe, place a washer on each of the screws, screw two nuts on each screw, and screw one wing nut on each screw.Īttach the PVC coupling fitting to the end of the TOP pipe without the holes. The head of each screw should be inside the pipe with the threaded part outside of the pipe. On the end of the TOP pipe with the two holes, reach inside the pipe and push one machine screw through each of the holes. (Do not use PVC adhesive or glue to attach any of the PVC pipes or fittings.) Step 4: Assemble the top of the squirrel trap – Two wing nuts to match the screws aboveĪttach the PVC adapter fitting to one end of the BASE pipe and carefully screw the clean out plug into the threaded section of the adapter fitting.Īttach the PVC 45 degree elbow to the other end of the BASE pipe. – Two machine screws, zinc or stainless steel, 1/4 inch diameter, 1 inch long – One PVC coupling fitting, 4 inch diameter – One PVC adapter fitting, 4 inch diameter (threaded on one end for the clean out plug above) – One PVC clean out plug, 4 inch diameter – One PVC 45 degree elbow, 4 inch diameter – Three pieces of PVC plastic drain pipe, 4 inch diameter, 2 feet long each (total of 6 feet) This humane DIY squirrel trap can help you eliminate those pesky little varmints! Step 1: Gather the required materials and tools. They will enter gardens and devour vegetables in the seedling stage, gnaw on plastic sprinkler heads and irrigation lines, eat the eggs of ground-nesting birds and can be quite destructive. Ground squirrels can damage many food-bearing and ornamental plants.
