Pros & Cons
Pros
A beast to set. It's a little tricky to set at first, but once you figure it out it's fairly easy.
Peanut butter mixed with almonds and sunflower seeds are irresistible baits for squirrels. Used a small spatula to put peanut butter above trigger pan. Have been using kind honey cereal bars, raisins, cranberries and grapes with great success (in the ... Read More
It requires tending, removal of dead squirrel and quick re-set of the spring, replacement of bait. Easy to do by putting your finger under the outside trigger and lifting.
Cons
After successfully wrangling the trap to set it, you discover that most squirrels will not trigger the mechanism because the spring is so tight against the trigger rod. It relies on friction to work but if the friction is not right between the metal s... Read More
The diagram images appear to be 1950s era mimeograph, lacking clarity. Had an infestation of red squirrels in an equipment shed. It was baited with peanut butter, nothing. Apparently ours are too smart for this and bait seems to be more effective.
Highlights
Quality
Have been using kind honey cereal bars raisins cranberries and grapes with great success in the spring
Shockingly easy to use and astoundingly affective
You lay mulch down and within a few days it looks like a mini bombing range with divots everywhere and your flowers pulled out
Apparently the skunk was able to drag its self with the trap about 3 yards before it finally stopped and died
Price
I will give it 4 stars only because its a bit expensive
Bottom line very pleased with the results but 1 star off because it is rather expensive for what it is
The neighborhood is overrun with squirrels billions of them
If it were not for the price i would have them all over clean kill no blood and guts for the homeowner to clean up
Shipping
This was delivered a few hours ago and it has already proven successful
I placed it outside near the area that i have seen them and got 2 in one day
I got a squirrel the very first day and within a week i had taken out 4 or 5 squirrels and 2 chipmunks
Packaging/appearance
Hope i got it set right as there were no instructions in the box
The traps were all set with peanuts and butter a present for our neighborhood squirrel
Competitiveness
It would be better if this could be avoided but ill continue to use the trap because i dont know of a better alternative
The very destructive chipmunks i deal with the havahart traps
