Live Squirrel Trap Heavy Duty Humane Animal Cage Trap | No Assembly Required, Catch and Release

Got this for squirrels doing damage to my outdoor furniture. Works great, easy to use and a bit. Couple of notes, squirrels get agitated when caught, simply covering the cage with a towel calms them down immediately. Also, if you are relocating them, go 6 - 7 miles away and preferably across a river or interstate. I moved the first two 3 miles away, they were back by morning and much more difficult to catch.

Works great for pesky squirrels that I want to rehome. Simple to use and good quality. Has a carrying handle and a handle shield.

I've only had this cage for 3 days but I already unintentionally caught a full grown adult raccoon. I bought it for squirrels thinking it was safe for not catching raccoons. I know this raccoon because he has been coming around for months every evening and several times during the day. I have a trailcam so I've seen him every night. He checked out the trap 2 nights and triggered it by just reaching through the holes in the cage to reach the bait, which I've since fixed. The highest part of his back was well above the top of the trap so I thought it was safe. Last night I watch him on the trailcam get down on his belly and inch his way into the cage by stretching out his body. He got about 1/2 to 3/4 way in when the door slammed down causing him to bolt forward and getting all the way into the trap with just his tail sticking out. His tail was fine but he was in there so tight that he couldn't struggle and possibly damage the trap and escape. I haven't caught a squirrel yet but it doesn't stand a chance with this trap. He now lives far away and the trap wasn't damaged. I recommend this trap if you don't mind catching raccoons.It's hard to see him in this photo because he is so packed in there, but you can see his ears poking out of the top left of the trap.Update: After having this cage for about a week, I’ve not only caught a raccoon but now a chipmunk. The door came down on its neck, but it didn’t kill it. So far, I still have not caught a squirrel. I’ve seen them eating sunflower seeds on the ground around the cage, but they do not go inside, even though it is camouflaged and has peanuts & sunflower seeds at the entrance.

A very good squirrel trap. Put it out in the yard and caught the little bugger within 15 minutes.The linkage between the plate and the door is logical and easy to use. I had previously borrowed two traps from neighbors that each had weird hair-trigger actuators that the squirrels were apt to trip just by climbing on the unit. This was much better, and as I said, was very effective.

Works like a charm . I must have caught 12 pesky squirrels already , so many I’ve lost count . So glad that I found this squirrel trap because I tried using the hav a heart trap to no avail . On the hav a heart trap the squirrels always tripped it before getting in it because the mechanism is so sensitive.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Why a 1???? (Trust me I wanted it to be a 5)...When this product came, it just did not latch--AT ALL...I spent approx. $34 thinking it was going to be a least better than the ones for for $20.I understand that the latches need to be sensitive, but the latch did not even tuck under (if you know, you know what I am talking about). I was thinking did I get the batch that was returned by the other One-Stars?So before I decided to return, I tried about 2 hours trying to reverse-engineer the latch system (insert eye-roll). If I was not a tenacious person who has Labrador Retriever Focus, I would have given up. I tried pliers to bend the hook just ever so--that didn't work (and an easy fix that would be, right?). Then, miraculously it hooked. I walked away and heard the snap of the cage door shut and had to come back for another 30 minutes--thinking it must be me not 'getting' how it works--listen, the technology is 'Cave Man' so it's not technical--it should be easy with a hinge operating system.Then I pulled the side bar over and seemed to get the latch to shut--and I tip toed away. Ok--I come back that evening and catch my first squirrel!!So, now I feel like a Big Shot--expert Squirrel Hunter, put me on the Next Season of 'Alone'.I go back to re-latch and it would not work again--just won't latch. I tried 50 times? Then figured I could put a thin twig against the side bar to hold the latch/hook system in place--it took another hour to get it right. And it worked.I have caught 3 squirrels so far this way...But I seriously DO NOT RECOMMEND this for the amateur squirrel catcher.The cage itself is sturdy--AMEN for some perk!--Squirrel can't escape at all.But good luck getting a squirrel into the cage with the disastrous hook latch system.If this company wants to send me a new one to try--I am open to seeing if the one I have is the Lemon/Fluke/One-Off.Mic Drop

I got a half dozen squirrels constantly going after my bird feeders and digging a cache into all my potted plants and eating everything edible in my garden which is basically everything.I was about to buy a slingshot and shoot frozen peas at them but that is silly.It's really a problem as my porch is the best place for the bird feeders otherwise the squirrels find a way to destroy my bird feeders.Just last week when letting my dog out a squirrel ran into my house! I ended up bit right through the tough leather gloves.Now I'm catching squirrels and relocating them 5 miles away because squirrel studies shows squirrels can find their way home within 3 miles and they quickly learn to avoid getting trapped again.I could care less if this model isn't the biggest or the bestest. I care that it's catching the squirrels and saving me money.So what if another group moves in to replace the group. I'll just keep relocating squirrels to the beach.

The trap works great. It's a little too sensitive and hard to set it sometimes, but I've caught multiple squirrels with it. However there is one big flaw. The grating or whatever you call it needs to be thinner. The squirrel can just reach its arm through the side and grab the bait, triggering the trap. There's this one particular squirrel I keep trying to catch because it keeps destroying the bird feeders, but he's too smart for this trap.
