4.0 out of 5 stars It works, what more could you ask for?, April 25, 2008

By	Jordan Edwards (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews

Length:: 0:06 Mins

We had a nasty case of "Squirrels in the Attic" not too long ago. We set up a few of these traps (slightly shorter version) with little more than peanut butter sandwiches and patience. For the next four days we put the bait out around the traps to allow them to get used to them. On the fifth, we set the traps with a peanut butter sandwich stuck to the trigger plate. The next day we bagged our first squirrel which was released unharmed 10 miles away.

I have only one complaint. It seems black birds like peanut butter too but thankfully they never triggered the trap. At first I thought the trigger plate wasn't going to be sensitive enough for the squirrels, but I guess you can't argue with results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Have a heart trap works!, November 2, 2008

By	Peter G. Adely Sr. - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My trap works well and I caught 15 squirls within 2 weeks. I caught a huge Racoon who barely got into the trap and I couldnt shake him out either and a UGLY Opossom. The Coon and Opossom were very sedate and made no fuss at all. The Squirls on the other I had were very agitated. A few Squirls wouldnt go into the opening and figured a way to scrape the bread and peanut butter off from the outside grill. Smart Buggers!
The trap worked very well. Didnt harm any animals and I drove them to a park a mile away and released them safely. Opening the door was a safe easy operation with a animal inside. Great product. Peter

4.0 out of 5 stars 24x7x7 Pro Cage Trap , January 19, 2009

By	Charles R. Leatherman (Baltimore,MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This trap works great once you make sure the trigger plate works and the plate lifts up enough to be triggered by a squirrel. I had to slightly bend the rod in order to obtain enough lift on the trigger plate. It worked when I originally tested it but after one encounter with Rocky (we named the squirrel) the plate did not release the trap door. After Rocky had 2 free meals of crunchy peanut butter I figured it out and Rocky was soon released in the park. Then there came Rocky II, III, IV and V. The trapped worked perfectly and I'm now Rocky free. The reason I'm giving this a 4 star rating rather than a 5 star is I had to make the minor bend in the rod before it worked correctly. It should have been correct before it left the factory.
