a few years back at two of our buildings in Quincy the neighborhood squirrels learned to break into apartments for potato chips. They'd tear through the screen into the kitchen, ransack the place, then tear through a 2nd screen to make their escape. We set up a hav a heart at each building and would get a squirrel in each every morning and afternoon.
We had a rubbermade tote large enough to hold the trap. Fill it with water. Drop the squirrel filled trap in (we called it washing the squirrel - 'hey, give this a good wash'). It takes a minute, no noise or mess. We washed about 30 before the break in gene was culled from the pool.
If you let them go, even a couple of miles away, they will find their way back. And if they don't you have just made it someone else's problem.
