Customer Reviews for Wilco Ground Squirrel Trap

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)

Well made. Good price. Too small for California ground squirrels. Needs to be taller than 4

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

The ground squirrels walked in and out of the trap with ease. All I was doing is feeding the ground squirrels.

Worked good at first. Now they get in and eat the bait and get back out.

I purchased a ground squirrel trap based on reviews. This was supposed to be designed to trap the tan AZ ground squirrels. I had a ground squirrel in the trap and it escaped through the side of the trap. Unfortunately there is no satisfaction guarantee so I'm out my money and have no use for the trap either. Not a satisfied customer ????

Last year I borrowed some of these traps from a neighbor but he needed them back because of this years onslaught of ground squirrels in his vineyard. They are very effective in catching and holding these animals. I've had a few smaller ones work their way out so it's best to monitor them as frequently as possible. I bait them with an oats and corn mixture and have caught as many as 4 at once. My neighbor has had seven! Perhaps mine are smarter about getting trapped? These are about the most effective means of controlling these pests short of poison which is effective but has environmental/ecosystem downsides if not used correctly.

Caught two of the young ones then they escaped with the help of their parents. So I ended up having to kill them ????

Bought it and used it while charging for my labor and the trap. Followed all instructions and so far, no results.

I have had it set out for two weeks now and haven't caught the first squirrel. I baited it with the bait that came with it and put little piles of bait leading up to the trap. The bait outside the trap will be gone. Do you reckon these Georgia ground squirrels ???? are a little bit to smart for this? Any suggestions??? I don't know what to rate this product ....may work elsewhere but not here . Gave it a three

Well, I have caught a couple of squirrels. Also had one get out too. Didn't expect that. So far, just mixed emotions... I'll give it some time.

The squirrels in my backyard refused to approach, even when I covered the trap the squirrels refused to enter trap.

A highly recommended item for squirrel entrapment. Within a week of receiving it and use I had lost some squirrels out of it! I couldn't imagine why, until I watched a a squirrel wiggle out of one of the corners. Lo and behold a wire had popped out of the soldering. Often when I would find a dead squirrel w/ its teeth clammped on the corner wires and I though perhaps they chewed thru the wire. Anyway, Wilco replaced the trap and I am very happy with it performance.

The Wilco squirrel trap arrived Thursday and I immediately set it. I had been putting out a few walnuts for three days before the trap arrived to get the rodents use to a meal. On Friday a squirrel had entered the trap and after the meal managed to force open the top door. The aluminum hooks are cheesy and just stretched to let the animal out. So I reset the trap with nuts and put a sledgehammer on top of the door. By the end of the day I needed to dispose of the first victim. The trap works as advertised.

Had to setup a camera to figure out how they were getting out, but they are just squeezing through the cage openings. Useless.
