Best Ground Squirrel Trap
By Chris on 08/06/2015
I have used numerous ground squirrel traps and this is the best one I've ever used. Make sure you buy the right size trap for the ground squirrels in your area. i.e. ground squirrels native to California are larger than ground squirrels native to Iowa. Call Blake at Wilco for addition information. (I don't have any connection with Wilco Dist. other than I purchased the trap they make)

Not as great as described
By Debra on 06/05/2020
I have had this 2 weeks. I've got 4 squirrels. They are still EVERYWHERE. They have got into and back out the the cage taking a plastic cottage cheese lid with them. A lot of money for 4 squirrels when I've had over $100 of starts eaten up in my garden since I've had it. Very disappointed. I've used your kibble, mybdog kibble, cat food, raisins, various nuts, bananas as bait

Squirrel Bait
By Michael on 09/29/2017
The Squirrels I am dealing with in my southern California backyard are Golden Brown and not small. What size t. Bought the poison trap but my wife doesn't want me to kill them(about 3 squirrels).
The Wilco Ground Squirrel Trap is a very good multi catch live trap that will trap up to 12 ground squirrels at a time before it needs to be emptied. For bait, we would recommend using peanut butter, nuts, sunflower seeds, popcorn, cereal grains, apples, almond extract on bread, or anise oil (1-2 drops) on bread.

The ground squirrels are the size of small grey tree squirrels.
The Wilco Ground Squirrel Trap will fit the grey squirrels as long as they are as small as the ground squirrel.

I have a cabin in Strawberry, Arizona and I continually have ground squirrels digging under the foundation of the house and also digging under a shed I have on a different part of the property. I've tried cayenne pepper, repellent sprays, etc., nothing works. I don't really want to kill them, but I'm getting to the point that that might be the only choice. Any suggestions on what I should use?

No, the Wilco Ground Squirrel Live Trap is a catch-and-release trap. After capture, it is recommended to relocate the ground squirrels at least 2 to 3 miles away from the area where they were caught.

I have a dog and do not want to use something that she could dig up. She has been digging up moles in the yard.
If you want to bait for ground squirrels, then you would need to use the bait in tamper resistant stations so that dogs or other non-target animals would not have access to the bait. We do sell Wilco Ground Squirrel Bait and Bait Stations. (This bait is registered only in select Western states.) The Wilco Ground Squirrel Trap would be a great option for you since it will hold up to 12 squirrels at a time.
