The company is helpful and very responsive. I purchased this same trap B4 and loved it!! I ordered a second , and the Quality was POOR! EVERYWHERE! Poor bends , door didn't shut very well, Trigger mechanism rubs on the side and wasn't very sensitive. I had to rework it. Wire was cut poorly and left many pointed sharp wire prongs. It was not operational as received.The trigger wire attached to the trigger plate was bent too long , forcing the trigger wire into the side of the trap causing it to bind and not go off. POOR QUALITY CONTROL!!!!

Duke Squirrel Trap
By Bob on 06/10/2015

This trap does not work worth a hoot!!! It looks very similar to a trap I bought a few years ago that worked well, but this model is not very sensitive and our yard is overrun with squirrels. The original trap was made of galvanized metal and this one is painted. About the only thing I have caught in this new trap is snails. I tried to give it a zero star rating but apparently this is not allowed.

Edges Sharp Enough to Cut You
By Melody on 06/13/2016
Bought this trap after speaking with the rep on the phone. I got it for my Mom. When I took it to her, boy did I ever get an ear full. Every edge was sharp enough to cut yous skin. Yes, it was painted, but that did not help with the edges. My hubby bought some Plasti-Dip. Guess I'll try to brush it on the ends to make sure Mom doesn't need medical attention after setting the trap. She said the last one she bought had some sort of coating.

I like it
By Sheng on 04/24/2020
It helps me catch three squirrels. It's very efficient. The first one was caught just 30 minutes after I put it in my backyard. I highly recommend such a ONE DOOR cage trap instead of the two door cage trap, which was totally ineffective based on my experience.

Great Trap !
By Michal on 04/16/2020
We ordered this trap last week and it took a bit longer time to receive it than was advertised. But once we got it and worked wonderfully. We received today and within four hours we caught two very annoying squirrels that were digging up holes in our flower beds. Easy to install and light and easy to carry for the relocation. Only advise would be to put something heavy (we used a rock) on top so it does not move when the creatures are trying to figure out how to get inside. In terms of bait, we used a peanut spread with a little bit of peanut butter on top (for the smell) and it just drove them "nuts" to get the stuff. To ensure they have to really get in and to the end, we tied with a bit of rope the peanut to the bottom at the very end of the cage (away from the door). But we simply loved that trap.

It works
By Will on 03/08/2017
I have been trying to get after these fruit thieves for a while, tried a lot of things, with little luck. I set up the trap - nothing for a week, then I caught two squirrels in two days. I set it up again, and again nothing for week. That is ok, I put saran-wrap over the little tray with fruit and nuts to keep the rain off, it can sit there for another month or two. If there are other squirrels around I will catch them.

Exactly what I needed
By James on 02/01/2019
Perfect trap for catching squirrels. I had two squirrels in my attic and quickly caught both with a week of setting the traps. Previously used a trap with two doors and they were able to escape. This one worked like a charm.

Caught my squirrels!
By Andrea on 12/21/2016
Bought 2 of these, placed one on the roof over my porch and one in my attic crawl space. Caught 4 squirrels in a week! I used PB with sunflower seeds sprinkled in and trapped about one a day. Two outside and two inside. Took them to ththe forest preserve and it's blissfully quiet now. Success!

Fantastic Rat Trap!
By Judy on 01/20/2016
A neighbor had a rat serious infestation and it moved across the neighborhood. These traps work! Easy to bait with crackers or fruit. The biggest rat cannot escape. They are easy to empty after you kill the rat. I gave the purchase information to our local animal control officer because the department was looking for a source for reasonable prices on good traps.

Rodent cage trap
By Paul on 02/12/2021
Product was as described. Best product shipping. Great pricing. I found the trigger mechanism and needed a little bit of filing to make it smooth for the rodent to step on the pedal. Other than that it's a good rodent cage and did the job for us.

Got my man (squirrel)
By Eric on 10/23/2020
This trap worked like a charm in catching a marauding squirrel in my back yard. the positive door lock kept the squirrel from busting out after slamming shut. The cage is just the right size to catch a good-sized adult squirrel.

Re squirrel cage
By Anthony on 08/30/2020
The cages take a few tries to set but once you get the handle of doing it,its not a problem.The cages seem to be effective so far.I was able to trap and relocate a few squirrels that were really wreaking havoc on my fruit trees.I will have to see if they continue to work well in the long run.I would recommend this product.

Squirrel Trap
By Wade on 08/16/2024
cage review.
By Squirrel on 03/10/2023
This really works well. A bit diffucult to figure out the catch hook on the spring loaded door. I thought the size should be a bit larger but it works for western ground squirrels and tree squirells. I use in shell peanuts as bait. I have a US made Have-A-Heart similar soze and it does not work as well. The closing door is gravity operated and slowish to react. The door also has a hold-down wire loop that is ineffective the first few degrees od arc when falling. The wire is also shiny as opposed to this trap being green painted and I assume more natural looking. It works well. Take time and study the door setting hook and little roller low friction tube it sits on. Neither trap has it's deminsions posted on the ad pages and should have.
