Customer Reviews for Tomahawk Excluder One Way Door for Raccoon and similar sized animals Model E80

I purchased the Tomahawk Excluder to remove skunks from under my shed. I purposely waited until late summer, so that all the animals would be able to escape through the one-way door. It worked like a charm. I waited 4 or 5 days and sprinkled flour by the exit to make sure all the animals were out. I would not use this product in spring or early summer, as I don't believe baby animals would be able to exit, and the mother would not be able to return to them. Service was exceptional as well.

I placed this one way door at the opening where two full size raccoons had taken up residencies. The first night I heard them leave and never came back! This door works great very well built and heavy duty.

One of the crawl space vents on my house had always been open. With the help of a camera, I discovered that we had a variety of creatures coming and going over time, including 3 different cats, a skunk, and a possum. I bought the E80 and placed it securely in front of the vent. It worked great and solved my dilemma (I did not want to seal a critter in). I am still using the camera to verify, and after about a week, I am 100% sure the critters are out. They all still come around, but they cannot get in. Now I feel safe to seal the vent for good.

Worked just like the other reviewers posted. We had a family of 2 adult & 2 juvenile Skunks, & they have moved on.

I gave it 5 stars because it's not their fault that I didn't read the entire product description where it states very clearly that this product won't ship for 10 business days after purchase. That was too long for me as the skunk under my house was spraying and angering both me and my neighbors. I ended up building my own one way door out of some plywood, two hinges, and a bungee cord which did the trick beautifully. I set up a motion activated camera and got some great nighttime video of the skunk leaving and then spending about 5 hours until daylight trying to figure out how to get back in. It was pretty amusing. I guess I'll have this one for next time.

Worked like they claim it does. Mama Coon gave birth to three babies. A day or two after attaching excluder, she left. Couple of days after that, babies came out. Granted they stuck around til we could trap and release elsewhere but they couldn't get back into the attic. Thank you, DoMyOwn.

I am a wildlife specialist and these things dont work on any animal ive been trying to remove - I bought 4 of these plus smaller ones for squirrel and rats thinking they all worked - they dont!! ive tried using them over 20 times and not once has the animal pushed through. The resistance is too great.

I am so glad l finally purchased this and wish l had done so sooner!!! We installed this on the roof and l watched the suckers come out...then l watched with savage satisfaction how they tried to get back in and couldn't!!! Unfortunately they tore another hole in the roof , but we reinstalled the extruder again , and l have not heard them in the rafters for two days now. We will fix this hole today , and cut the tree down so they cannot get on the roof again. Then it will be installed on groundlevel. I am tired of the varmin living under the house . Some of the best money l ever spent!!!!!

We ordered one of these to help us find a solution for a conflict of interests. Shortly after ordering, we received a notice that the product was temporarily out of stock and to expect a delay. There was a delay. The package arrived after all. Good things really do come in small packages. Thanks for providing a reliable service.

Had a little groundhog pop out from under a small porch. Usually they stay down in the fields south of our house.I set up the one way trap.A few days later I saw him off in the distance back in the field where he belonged. I filled the dug out opening with stones and I do not expect to see him back. If he reappears, I am confident this trap will work once more.

I discovered feral cats were coming and going under the house through a foundation vent with a damaged screen. One cat had kittens under there. I went on line looking for something like this, not knowing such a thing existed. I ordered it right away! I heeded the warning in another review that it might be too difficult for very young animals to escape through (true), so waited until the kittens seemed to be gone before installing it. The install was awkward because it went against masonry, but I managed to secure it. About 4:20 the following morning, there was a huge clatter and commotion, and I'm sure there have been no animals under the house since! We'll have it on hand now, for future problems, like skunks under the farm outbuildings.
