Success! (at least so far)

Well, it looks like the freeloading squirrels have been evicted.  No scampering and scratching noises overnight or this morning.  Both the traps are still vacant, but we will continue to monitor those as well.  It appears they were a family of four, two kids and Mom and Pop..

The first two to be caught and relocated were smaller and quite young looking compared to the next two.  They were also very curious and mischievous and didn't seem to be afraid of us either.  The last one was larger than all the rest, so it was either daddy squirrel or fat mama getting ready to present us with more problems.

All four were released at the same location, so maybe they were able to have a  family celebration or big reunion of some sort before taking on the task of preparing a new home for the coming winter.  Hopefully they stay in the forest and don't find another attic to inhabit.
