Review: Sturdy, reusable, great written/video instructions - This trap worked well for me on day one. Challenges I had: setting it up properly (I didn't put the trigger rod through both openings in the trigger pedal first time around), baiting it (found I had to reach through the front to bait it), making sure the squirrel didn't scratch me through the top mesh near the handles (which didn't have a piece of sheet metal to protect against such a thing happening). Upsides: easy to set up by following the written instructions and as I later found, the video; latch kept the squirrel inside; very portable; easy to open and release the prisoner once you've brought them to a better location. I set this trap out today at 6am, moved it three times as I watched the squirrels and tried to capitalize on their favorite spot and by 10:30am I watched a gray squirrel walk fully inside the trap. Drove him to the woods for release. Reset the trap and around 12:20pm saw a fox squirrel get trapped (see video). Drove to woods for release. Reset the trap and around 1:40pm I noticed the trap door was down, another gray squirrel inside. Another drive and release. The final squirrel I'd like to relocate sniffed the trap and hasn't gone in yet, I'll keep trying. For bait I used about 1 tablespoon of cheap peanut butter smeared mostly under the back edge of the trigger plate, and a little bit on the front of it. Expect the animal to be panicked and chew and spin around. Talk softly, if at all, place an old towel underneath the cage in your trunk and one more on top of it to keep the animal calm as it's being transported, and make sure the trap won't tip over by putting heavy objects on either side of it. I'm relieved knowing these squirrels won't be messing up my birdfeeders or chewing on my outdoor furniture anymore!
Review: EASY and HIGHLY EFFECTIVE - We've had an easy and HIGHLY effective experience using this trap to safely relocate squirrels of all sizes. We put in a small bowl of raw sunflower seeds in shells just past the metal trigger plate. While some birds fly in to get the seeds only the weight of the squirrel is actually setting off the trap door. We tied this up on the edge of a fence where the squirrels run often so it was immediately in their path. While surprising for them to be caught, no squirrel was injured. They were all safely transported to an open space location with abundant natural resources.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this animal trap have a second door that slides up for easy release?**
A: It is best to use the front door to release the animal, and the back door to fasten with a chain.

**Q: How to make it work?**
A: My suggestion:Remember to wear gloves, and don't put the bait in front of the pedal.

**Q: how big are the wire mesh openings? I am trying to catch a rat.**
A: A rat will get out easily. I caught a cat and it got out. The wire is not strong enough and I will be returning it.

**Q: The wires are so far apart in the bait area that a varmint is able to reach in from outside and get the bait. Any ideas for secure bait?**
A: not really, they have to go in side to get it.  you can always secure the bait to the trap with fishing line or string if you wanted to

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable, effective, simple. Works best with some tweaking and custom adjustments.
*by D***V on June 1, 2025*

I had to put a piece of thick foam cut to the size of the floor of the trap on the bottom of the cage covering the trigger so that squirrels would actually set off the spring trap instead of just dodging the relatively small and relatively stiff pressure plate. It worked like a charm with the extra layer on the floor. The catch sometimes needs slightly adjusted with light bending or some light sanding if the catch and the trigger hook start to gall from sliding against each other. The trap initially is not super sensitive, probably good for a full size squirrel or larger, but I adjusted mine to be very sensitive without much trouble at all. P.S. The first thing I caught in this trap was a blue jay by accident who aggressively wanted the bait peanuts. Be aware that you are able to make the trap sensitive enough to be set off by a hollow-boned bird.
