This trap is designed for rats and mice only. It is not recommended for use with squirrels, we apologize for any inconvenience.

I have not used this with squirrels but if I have another issue with them chewing on my house I will. I think it's powerful enough to do the job. Hopefully you won't find the neighbor's cat inside.

Not sure about it working on squirrels but it definitely works on gophers.. We broke the blocks into pieces and put it at the junctions of the tunnels the things were making in our yard

The material is pretty flimsy so I doubt it would stop a determined squirrel. That being said I didn't have any squirrel problem at all. Whether it was because of the material waving in the wind or the fact that I trap any squirrels I see in my yard and export them across the river I don't know.Keep Smiling

I purchased this for woodpeckers and blue jays but so far no luck. I do have a large baffle to detour the squirrels. It has been to rainy to put it back out to see if I can attract the birds I am hoping to see

I would not recommend it for that, squirrels are very industrious and have all the time in the world the only thing that stops them is metal conduit.

I bought it to scare squirrels from our Mango trees. It did not work for squirrels at all. Squirrels would sit right in front of it with one of my mangos. I would click the remote to sound the alarm and the squirrels just kept chomping..., no effect at all. Also, device kept sounding off when a little wind made some leaves move (even on least sensative setting). It absolutely does not work on squirrels. I cannot say it will work on birds but, based on how well it works on squirrels, I have my doubts.

It has been my experience that Squirrel proof is is a myth. To see the squirrels work in my yard is a thing of total amazement. This feeder is however as much of a deterent as anything else I have tried.

Since I actually feed my squirrels I wouldn't know. It hasn't helped on the voles either! I'm trying to drown them now. But what seems to work is aromatic plants like garlic, thyme, rosemary, etc. try feeding your squirrels outside the area you want them away from.

I have the same thing here...it is great for squirrels not getting at the food but the seeds will still fall to the ground creating "weeds". I have this in my backyard and there is nothing to prevent it. It drives my husband crazy too because he takes care of the lawn. The seeds fall into the rocks around the pool and create a "weed" type of nuisance.

Works well on Florida squirrels because they are small. Not so well on Michigan squirrels, they are bigger, and it just slaps them on the head so they come back tomorrow and do it again.

Tried it both ways with squirrels . Did not work. Even tried it outdoors. No luck. Mothballs worked better.

I find using sunflower seeds works well. I would dig a small hole under the trap and put the seeds there otherwise the first squirrel cleans out the bait...if he can't get to all the bait, it'll hopefully catch more than one for you. Also know they get angry when captured and the trap moves around a lot. It'll ruin grass under it so I encourage placing it on dirt or in area where grass isn't a concern.

I think it would be effective on squirrels, but we also have many birds at our bird feeder and we don't want to disturb the birds. Both eat in the daytime. We have caught squirrels in a live trap and moved them to another wooded place. We make bait with peanut butter smeared on a piece of thick paper and press sunflower seeds into the peanut butter. We call it "Annie bait" because our 8-year old granddaughter, Annie, came up with the idea. Take the squirrels away at least 3 miles or they may return.

I use mine to keep the moles away so I havev't been paying attention to the squirrels. If I had to venture a guess I would guess that it would work on ground squirrels, but not on tree squirrels.

No, not on squirrels. I bought this to use on gophers but discovered that instead of gophers, I had moles. It doesn't work on moles.

We don't have chipmunks but it has absolutely positively worked for squirrels. When our feeders get low and there isn't as much seed on the ground, they really start to find ways to get up there. The only time one got up there is when he jumped straight up from the ground. I watched and was amazed. But since we have one squirrel proof feeder that works, his weight triggered the closing mechanism. We have another squirrel proof feeder that doesn't work, but it's higher off the ground so no squirrel has yet jumped up to it. Moral of the story: if you have really determined and gymnastic squirrels, get a higher shepherd's hook to hang it from. There are no trees, roofs nor wires near enough to our feeder from which the squirrels can jump. I have had peaceful bird watching since the baffle and recommend it highly!!!!

Our primary purpose for this product was to discourage our deer population. It has done that job well. However, our pesky squirrels don't seem to be effected by this product at all. It may be they have just gotten use to the product. Much smarter than the deer by far.
