Im in northern ohio and I caught a young-looking red squirrel in my attic. I don't think this squirrel has stashed a ton of food in my attic because id go days without seeing it on my attic cameras and I only started seeing it maybe 2 to 3 weeks ago.

I'm not sure what to do now that I caught the squirrel but have no idea where the entry hole is. If I release it, it'll just go back, but if it takes too long to find the hole, itll be too late to release it. Im trying to avoid overwintering this squirrel (I did this 2 years ago so I have a set up), but if I don't find this hole in like, the next few days, I feel like it'll be too late. Any tips or tricks to find the entry hole? All I can think of is having like 4 people on the roof and releasing the squirrel so we can watch and see where it goes. This seems like a super risky proposition tho.



Does anyone have tips or tricks how to find this hole? The only thing I can think of would be to have like 4 people on my roof, and a few on the ground, and then release the squirrel on the roof to see where it goes.
