OK, I may go this route. Again, I'd have to do it until at least a
day
passes with no footprints. I've never relocated a varmint before,
but I
figure I can locate a free trap here in Berkeley, where we
celebrate the
human conscience... sometimes to a fault.

Call your animal control department. They may be able to ID the
footprints,
which may enable them to recommend the best bait for the trap. They
may also
loan you a trap.

In many places it is illegal to relocate animals without a special
permit. The fines are pretty high.

In CA it is illegal, and since he's in Berkeley ( I assume CA) so if
you're going to relocate an animal, make sure you don't tell *anyone*
especially in that town where they practically arrest you for being a
Republican. ;-)

He could give whatever he traps a bath...
