had a family in our attic.
used the have a heart traps with peanut butter and regular nuts as well.

according to the internet they can find their way back if it is under 5 miles.

And my wife made me take the ones I caught, days apart, back to the same place I dropped off the first one so they could be together. grin

anyway I put them in line with where they were coming in. You could tell they had to walk through the trap to get into their hole.
We tried to keep them out first by covering the hole but they chewed threw aluminum siding to get in.
