What’s your secret for the live box traps and squirrels?

I use i guess what you'd call a medium sized wire live trap that opens from both ends. It has the platform rocker trigger in the middle. I just bait with pecans, a couple cracked and a couple whole. I put a couple just outside and the others inside near the trigger.

Sometimes I will have one that is adept at picking my trap. So, I rigged a little three sided "box" from hardware cloth wire and wired it to the cage. I put a few pecans in that box and wire it to the cage. What you have then is a handful of pecans that a squirrel can't get out of the cage/box. It makes the squirrels
stop and worry over it right over the trigger, which throws the trigger and traps them.
