George,I have taken 41 squirrels in a live trap over the last few months--right off my deck:34 grays and 7 reds.
 I take a bagel{they are very hard and hold up well} put peanut butter on it and hang it in the back of the cage trap.Works very well for me.
 You can place near wherever the squirrels are eating.Good Luck!  Tom
