Rugged Ranch 2‑Pack Squirrelinator Multi‑Catch Squirrel Trap with Basin, Wire Cage, 25"x15"x6.5" Each - Live Catch‑and‑Release, 2‑Door Humane Rodent Control, No‑Poison Outdoor Use

Easy to use, easy access for squirrels, light weight, it really works. I’ve been using this wonderful squirrel trap for two weeks now and I’ve trapped 18 squirrels. I no longer have the sound of scampering feet in my house. I say scampering, but the noise was actually driving me nuts. This product does what it says 100%. I could not be happier.

I wish someone had tapped me on the shoulder a year ago and told me to get a live trap for the grey squirrels that were running amok in our crawlspace. I assumed that live traps sacrificed squirrel-catching ability in order to keep squirrels alive for the animal lovers, so I tried everything else first.Here's what DIDN'T work over many, many months of frustrating trial and error:- Conibear 110 traps (caught one squirrel which it failed to kill, and just whacked dozens of squirrels on the head without catching them, plus they are a pain to set and position).- Rat traps (LOL - utterly useless against grey squirrels).- Homemade poison some guy on Youtube swore would work (squirrels ate some, no effect).- Tomcat Brand poison chunks (squirrels ate them all and asked for more).- Large glue trap (doesn't work outside - gets covered with dust/insects within a day, then squirrels used it as a doormat to their entryway into our roof.- Hiring a wildlife control guy for a consultation (he failed to correctly identify where they were getting in and would have spent a lot of time/$ trying to trap on the wrong end of the house).I can't tell you how the "Squirrelinator" compares to other live traps. I read a lot of mixed reviews of this trap and of other ones like "Havahart". I can tell you that squirrelinator worked great for us, and it's so easy to use. I am dealing with grey squirrels, aka tree squirrels, not ground squirrels. But it still worked great - I put it on the ground beneath where they were climbing the trees to our roof, and within an hour or two there was a squirrel in there each time, until there were no more squirrels around and no more scratching/skittering/gnawing above our ceiling.Some reviewers have complained that they can lift the door open and get back out. All I can say is that never happened with the many squirrels I caught, at least to my knowledge. The trap works because lifting is not their instinct. Their instinct is to push as far toward freedom as they can, so they nose into the corners, which means they go up on top of the door.Ease of use is a bonus. You just drop this thing on the ground and toss some nuts in and around it, then give the furballs a ride to some nearby woods.$75 bucks seems like kind of a ripoff for just a wire cage. It does have a cleverly designed spring part for the doors though, and it's peanuts compared to what you can spend hiring someone. I'm not even going to bother covering the hole in our soffit where they went in, because I know I can just clear our whole area of squirrels in a few days if new ones get into our house again.

Even though I wound up paying more than I thought I would for a rat trap, I'm very satisfied. This is by far the most effective solution for my situation, which requires the ability to trap multiple rats at one time. 10x as effective (if not more) than poison/bait traps, tunnel traps, regular snap traps, or any combination thereof. The rats are just too wary of the others, and the single rodent per set is too limiting.What I did to increase success rate: putting chicken wire underneath the trap to prevent those sneaky bastards from digging underneath to get the bait (which was small enough to drop through the bars of the trap), and placing the trap near where the rodents were entering the problem area.When dispatching using the included water tray, I found it best to pick up the trap not by the carry handles, but by the entrance ramp. This way, I could hold the ramp in position to prevent escape, and not be in any danger of being nipped through the bars.

It took a few days for squirrels to get in. Maybe they didn't like the smell of the new paint. But once they started getting in, they couldn't stop. It's better than the other traps I've used.

This was the only trap that actually worked for me. I tried several others and never caught anything. The only reason why I stayed away from the ratinator was the ridiculous high price. But after the others failed I swallowed hard and spent the $80. Holy rat @&$¥#%! This trap works! First night I just left it out with NO bait and caught 11 rats! It’s been 4 nights and every night it’s trapped 4-11 rats. It’s expensive but does it’s job fast and super easy.

Ok THIS THING IS THE BOMB!! Its a bit pricey but if you follow the directions you can get rid of hundreds of rats in a couple nights...it blew my mind!! Highly recommend!!

I captured 5 squirrels in just a few days and released them in Stanley Park. I no longer have squirrels living in my attic.

It catches chip monks for sure

The media could not be loaded.  Los primeros dias un poco decepcionado pues no entro ninguna y tengo una plaga de ardillas que causan mucho daño a la casa pero decidí darles una oportunidad antes de usar un rifle, después de cambiar de cebo de croquetas para perro a maiz y tortillas el primer dia atrapé 3, el segundo dia 4 , en tercer dia 2 y las fui liberando en el monte cada dia.Consejo .- poner los seguros de adentro hacia afuera pues una de ellas se lastimó el lomo con el filo de la lamina del gancho

This item was supposed to come with a black carrying case. It did not. I contacted the seller who advised their supplier was having an issue getting the case. We came to a mutual resolution as they refunded some of the purchase price. VERY nice to work with! The trap itself, works great as well!
