Squirrelinator Metal Wire & Heavy Duty, 2 Door Humane Live Squirrel Catch & Release Cage Trap, Holds up to 25 Squirrels, 1 Trap

The Squirrelinator Metal Wire & Heavy Duty Trap has garnered a range of feedback from customers who have used it to humanely catch and release squirrels and other small critters. The Consensus among users highlights the trap’s straightforward design and effectiveness, making it a practical solution for those facing challenges with backyard pests. Customers appreciate the ease of use; the trap is simple to set up, requiring no complex installation—just open the dual doors, and it's ready to go. Many users noted how effective the bait setup is, with natural attractants such as nuts and peanut butter leading to successful captures. One noteworthy feature is the trap's dual-door design, which seems to encourage more timid animals to enter comfortably, thereby enhancing the likelihood of capture. However, while the trap is generally rated highly for its design and functionality, there are some caveats. Users pointed out that it may not hold up well under the conditions caused by heavier animals like large raccoons, and some reported issues with the trap's door mechanism being too lightweight, allowing for escape. Additionally, a few users observed that once captured, the released squirrels appeared confused or took longer to find the exit, suggesting a potential refinement in the exit mechanism could be beneficial. Durability also received mixed reviews; although the wire frame is noted as strong and coated for outdoor use, some customers remarked on issues with rusting springs after prolonged exposure to the elements. Regular maintenance, such as spraying with protective coatings, has been recommended by experienced users. Overall, the Squirrelinator trap is viewed as an effective and humane option for pest control with minor concerns regarding its long-term durability and adaptability for larger animals. ###
