As close to the entry point, travel path, or to the damaged area as possible.

Yes, we do have one-way doors that will allow the animals to exit but not to return. However, some animals like squirrels can chew back in somewhere else rather quickly. We highly recommend that all potential entry points are repaired / reinforces before installing a one-way door. We’ve also seen squirrels chew back in through newly installed roofs.

It’s possible but highly unlikely. We do use a professional series trap. The only reason this could happen is if the trap was damaged prior by something other than an animal, if the traps is old and not functioning properly, or in some cases the trap may have been set incorrectly.
