You may be able to find or rent what is called a "hav-a-hart" trap. It's a cage with two doors that swing down and lock once the "intruder" has stepped in the center of the trap.

At that point you have the choice of releasing it (if it's your cat or a squirrel, or something non-noxious) releasing it elsewhere (coon, possum, etc) or euthanizing it (rat, odd acting coon, daylight skunk, what have you)
