We've used "live traps" at home in the past.  The rodent in question
walks in and a door closes behind it.  Then we drive it a few miles away
and it's no problem.  We've "relocated" maybe 10 or 15 squirrels this
way.  The traps are "Havaheart" brand and sell at our hardware store. 
They come in various sizes for bigger or smaller animals.
