Mouse trap inside the car with peanut butter.

For a squirrel I would suggest a rat trap would be more suitable than a mousetrap. After all, they are bushy tailed rats anyway.
What to use as bait? I haven't a clue.
However, the clever little b'tard could well be wise to traps?!

I'm currently under going a serious of experiments, it's a red squirrel, not a chipmunk, they are notorious for making homes out a cars, they are smaller then your typical black squirrel.

I know some part of my car, roughly 6" padding and some extra pieces were ripped out.

This is my enemy. There smart, and causing me grief, it needs to find a new home, in another car or a house, wherever.

Get a small live trap and put it in your car.

YodaBird · 04-15-2015, 03:23 PM

Where do you find small live traps ?

Red Squirrels are smart, and don't just go into cages that easily, I have another idea. Who would have thought this was war with a squirrel. Turns out from all I can remember, this has been going on for about a year.

I know they are smart, but I also have seen great success in trapping large numbers of them with such traps.

Has anyone taken apart a 3rd generation Yaris ?

The squirrel did not attack my car for roughly 2.5 weeks only because I've been putting moth balls and rags of apple cider vinegar in my car, literally a :30 minute Job when parking the car.

I decided for a few days not to put any apple cider vinegar or moth balls, the temperature dropped recently and with that the squirrel got into my car. I have pieces from weeks ago, I think it is behind the steering wheel the padding of the interior of the car. I want to know where the squirrel is going and what he is destroying, I can supply pictures.

A mechanic told me, you have two choices, you kill it; or you move. I have to plans to move, probably not this year.

Then take the trapped squirrel(s) on a long drive way out in the country and let them go.

YodaBird · 05-22-2015, 12:46 PM

I need to know what it looks like behind the front dashboard in the 3rd generation yaris to know where he is ripping the foam padding liner. I have over a foot of this stuff ripped out :(

I know a cage may work, there is not much to lure them in, except peanut butter, he could go as far as ripping my car seats etc from what I was informed. I'll have a destroyed car from a $#%Q#% squirrel, costing me thousands to repair.

He's already dismissed that idea. In the meantime, his car continues to be ravaged.
