They are living in my roof. My house is solid wood and there is no way to reach them. I don't want to kill them because then my house wil stink, any ideas on how to catch and release them?

You can purchase a live trap at most hardware stores. Make sure you get a small one so once you've trapped them they can't get through the wire on the trap. All you need is some cracked corn for bait. Set the trap close to where you think they are. If you catch any just transport them to a rural area and release them. Be prepared to catch several of them. I live in the country and one summer we caught 19 chip monks and released them. And there were still a few around our property. Good luck. Oh yeah, if you see Chip and Dale tell them I'm sorry about them having to move! lol!!!!

My husband had the same problem in his garage. First, you have to isaolate how they got in. Then go and buy or rent a couple of humane live traps. They like it if you put peanut butter in the traps. Once you've trapped them all, seal off any other ways they can get in. If you think you didn't get them all, wait 2 days and unseal a spot where you can put your live traps. If there are any left, they will be so hungry after 2 days they will go right into the traps to eat the peanut butter. Good luck!!!!

you may have to cut into the roof somehow so you can set a trap. have a hearts are good traps they dont kill them so you can set them free somewhere away from your house. there has to be a hole somewhere were they are going in and out if you find it then seal it up somehow they must be going out to get water and food. if you get a have a heart a good bait is put peanut butter on the trigger then put bird sead in the pb check it daily to see if there is one in there.

Buy them Guitars, Drums, Harmonicas, and some other musical instruments. Then they can form a band, get a record contract and move to California.

Set small Have A Heart Traps and use sunflower seeds as bait. I have caught over twenty.

You need to contact a pest and rodent exterminator. It might be expensive though. We had flying squirrels living in our walls in our apartment and they actually had to cut a hole in the wall to get it out. Luckily we don't own the place and didn't have to pay for it.

Get a plastic owl-they have them at garden stores year round and Lowes and Home Depot have them in the Spring. Hang it in your attic.
