Fishin NJ said:Have a heart trap, with a english muffin with very little peanut butter on it. then relocate them far away, try to get it 5+ miles and across either major roads or waterways. They mark there areas well and return season after season. IF not them others smells it and attempt. My fan could not run with the nest in there it would have bound up and burned up the motor, then possible my home. I seen her going back and forth thats how i figured it out.
FYI, if they are in your attic, you need to get them out. They love to use the plastic jacket on romex wire to care for their teeth. They are well know for causing many fires. Also poison in the attic is not the way to go, just wait till that thing dies in a some tight spot you cant get to, its gonna stink like hell, trust me!!!!
Go buy a Have a heart trap the Middle or large sized one, single ended is fine. I have a double sided but i wire tie they one end closed other wise they are so fast they run right through it before the door locks.
They breed up to twice a year usually once in spring and once in the fall. The male does not stick around. Mother stay and cares for baby approx 3-5 for up top 10-12 weeks.
Trust me if you go them get them out and do your best to seal up spot there getting in. If they are chewing through the wood put metal flashing on the back of the wood. As cute as they are they can cause allot of issues.
Use caution when handling the babies they do have sharp teeth and will bite. As for the adults they are aggressive once cornered or trapped be careful.

put a nice pile of trailmix in there, theyre suckers for nuts and dried fruit
and those pictures rule
If you are trapping them to relocate them you might want to check the local ordianances.
