Default A little vent... and advice on trapping squirrels?

We moved to be closer to DH's business and are now renting a home. Our landlords/neighbors have a trap set up for squirrels because they are supposedly destructive and ate through some siding to make a nest in someone's attic. Instead of making a proper repair (all repairs done by their guy seem to be half *ssed, cheap, and lazy) they've decided to trap the squirrels one by one and take them to a state park... This doesn't seem like the best solution to me and will it even make a dent in problem?

If that doesn't sound annoying enough, they never keep up with what's in the trap. The other day a poor bird got trapped and was freaking out in there - and it was 99 degrees out. I'm surprised it hung on long enough for me to realize it was in there and free it. Today is another hot day and I heard a squirrel banging around in the trap while sweeping the porch. I waited half an hour to see if they would do anything, finally got fed up and let it out.

This just bothers me.
