Mornin, I use an old trap from a hardware store. It works better if you make the platform a bit wider out of 1/4 inch plywood. Bait the lever or arm on it with peanut butter, they can't resist it. The spring on mine is getting weak with age but it will still throw the squirrel about 20 yds. Funniest thing I've ever done with clothes on. Have a good day guys. (Not kidnn).
