Can you explain how this trap works? Does the critter go in and when it comes out it snaps it's neck?

Yes, largely like a "normal" platform snap trap, except its easier to set up due to the tube. Its also easier for the rat to trip, since the wires at the entrance block the way to the bait. Adding bait is also easy since its at the far end of the trap (can be accessed by sliding off the end cap. Its *very* strong, will kill big rats (and other bigger things (large squirrels). Some of the large victor rat snap traps only half kill the rats we have and its a pain. This trap is great, but pricey.

When this trap kills a skunk, do you still get the fierce order, or does it kill quickly enough that the skunk doesn't have time to react and spray?

Killed a skunk for us so quickly it did not have time to spray.

What kind of bait do you use for squirrels?

According to us, one of the best squirrel bait is piece of berries granola bar that you can nail pin into the nail in the trap

is this box type trap better than the tube type configuration? thx

There is more than one type of trap in the form of a tube... it would be necessary to be more precise. If you compare this trap with our Ouell 3-10 (black abs tube), the Ouell 3-10 is for small squirrel (chip chipmunk and red squirrel). The tube was chosen to have a smaller entrance so the chipmunks wouldn't pass without triggering the trap. For the Ouell 4-11 (this one, in galvanized steel and square in shape), we have chosen a more solid material because you have to pull the 2 bars backwards in order to have more power to catch bigger squirrels ( black and grey) so it needed a stronger casing to withstand the strain. Here are the 2 main differences

Illegal to use in the UK

This trap is not approved under the The Spring Traps Approval (England) Order 2018 >it is illegal to use it and Amazon should not be selling it in the UK. It is also almost guaranteed to kill non target species as there is no means of excluding them, (i.e. via a tunnel)
