- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024Size: EP-SSL4420Pattern Name: ClassicVerified PurchaseWe enjoyed having a couple of squirrels living in our backyard (so cute!)...until they discovered our patio furniture and made it their mission to destroy it. These traps were a little tricky to assemble (the pictures in the instructions are not very clear), but they worked beautifully. We spread peanut butter on half a slice of bread, stuck unsalted cashews in the peanut butter, then set the bread at the back of the cage. We backed the traps up to a stone wall so that they couldn't get to the food by reaching through the back of the cage. One squirrel was trapped within an hour (we watched it trying to figure out how to get the food without entering the cage, but it finally entered the cage and sprung the trap). The other squirrel managed to pull the cage away from the wall and access all the food from the back of the cage (it did NOT want to enter the cage!). So we put more food in and put a 10-pound dumbbell on top of the cage so the squirrel couldn't pull it away from the wall; we also put an orange slice in the cage, but closer to the opening of the cage, thinking that the orange would entice the squirrel to walk part way into the cage which would then give it the confidence to walk all the way in to get the bread/PB/cashew at the back and thus spring the trap. It worked!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy, reusable, great written/video instructionsThis trap worked well for me on day one. Challenges I had: setting it up properly (I didn't put the trigger rod through both openings in the trigger pedal first time around), baiting it (found I had to reach through the front to bait it), making sure the squirrel didn't scratch me through the top mesh near the handles (which didn't have a piece of sheet metal to protect against such a thing happening). Upsides: easy to set up by following the written instructions and as I later found, the video; latch kept the squirrel inside; very portable; easy to open and release the prisoner once you've brought them to a better location. I set this trap out today at 6am, moved it three times as I watched the squirrels and tried to capitalize on their favorite spot and by 10:30am I watched a gray squirrel walk fully inside the trap. Drove him to the woods for release. Reset the trap and around 12:20pm saw a fox squirrel get trapped (see video). Drove to woods for release. Reset the trap and around 1:40pm I noticed the trap door was down, another gray squirrel inside. Another drive and release. The final squirrel I'd like to relocate sniffed the trap and hasn't gone in yet, I'll keep trying. For bait I used about 1 tablespoon of cheap peanut butter smeared mostly under the back edge of the trigger plate, and a little bit on the front of it. Expect the animal to be panicked and chew and spin around. Talk softly, if at all, place an old towel underneath the cage in your trunk and one more on top of it to keep the animal calm as it's being transported, and make sure the trap won't tip over by putting heavy objects on either side of it. I'm relieved knowing these squirrels won't be messing up my birdfeeders or chewing on my outdoor furniture anymore!

It works to catch a squirrel, but be careful as I did have one get out. I left it a short time planning to relocate it in a few hours and it managed to open the door. The scary part is what if that happened during transport !!! Can you imagine a terrified squirrel with sharp teeth in your car as you are driving ??? !!!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2024Size: EP-SSL4420Pattern Name: ClassicVerified PurchaseI have relocated a lot of squirrels with this. super easy to use. Try to get the critters out as they will go nuts and may damage the trap. Also hurt themselves. Probably not as much as me shooting them in the butt
- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024Size: EP-SSL4420Pattern Name: ClassicVerified PurchaseMinnesota weather is not pleasant during most day of winter. This trap has withstood everything that the weather brings, while providing consistency during the coldest months , and have had zero problems with parts getting frozen or failing to trigger. Location is important, sometimes the mice, rats, small birds, etc will be able to steal the bait. I get around this by putting peanut butter directly on the trapping peddle, as well on the backside. Better success rate when the peddle is evenly lathered in sticky, potent smelling peanut butter. I have caught 17+ squirrels and one rabbit. No matter how long they're in there, they will not escape (so long as you've tested everything yourself. ) the back of the trap is the most vulnerable, because after awhile the squirrels get anxious enough to pull the back flap inward and escape that way. (Never happened because I reinforced the back flap with zip ties.) I promise if you install it correctly, they will not get out, unless ur using steroids as bait, or accidentally trap a raccoon.
Even being put in the same location, as long as it's properly protected from sticks or falling stones, it will stay ready and consistently trap, small, medium and big squirrels with no problem.
I can promise that as a person unsponsored and unbiased.
Edit: those squirrels and rabbit caught were all within 2 months of placing it. On average I would rearm the trap within 2 days of catching something, if not less.
I cleared my whole block of squirrels, using one trap (this one), within 2 months even by placing it in the same spot and lazily applying bait, although it's important to leave more of a trail of bait leading to the trap like a few smudges of bait around the trap area. Especially if there's more trails leading to different access routes will increase your chances.
FYI- always use thick gloves when transporting them because the entrapped will likely try to swipe at you through the cage holes and their range and speed is commendable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well Made
Size: EP-SSL4420Pattern Name: ClassicVerified PurchaseThis is a well made and a certainly sturdy looking trap for squirrels and rats. The trap door mechanism comes down swiftly and the unit is easy to assemble. Unfortunately the lever is not that sensitive and the hinge that holds the top gate in place was damaged. Too bad, I would have liked to have given it a higher rating. If you get one that works properly you will have a strong unit.
