I use a tube/tunnel - put it just in front of the house entrance with a smelly treat at the opposite end. They tend to just walk into the tunnel then you can put your hands over both ends of it and lift him out in the tunnel - sometimes they don’t like being scooped. Then put the tunnel down where you want him and let him just walk out. If he’s going straight in a pet carrier you just put one end of the tunnel in the pet carrier keeping your hand over the other end - so he walks into it and can’t back out the other way.
