I use a Havahart trap with shelled peanuts wired and suspended from the top mesh in the back. Wiring the peanuts guarantees a squirrel will trigger the trap when they have to work at getting the bait. I found that some of them could take loose peanuts without triggering the trap. I use sunflower seeds to catch both squirrels and chipmunks. Use broccoli for bait or maybe shoot 'em with a pellet rifle.
