would rat zapper handle squirrels in the attic?

Hi Thomas, Yes, they'll definitely take care of squirrels. See the two pics that I had posted. Roasted sunflower seeds are excellent for bait. Place 5-6 in the far back of the trap, 1-2 on each plate (to lead the squirrel into the far back), and 5-6 outside the trap around the entrance.

Randy Squirrels are smart...I can bet they could open this container. It's good for in house storage. I would get something a little more secure.

I live in wooded area in northern MN. Lots of squirrels attracted to squirrel-proof bird feeders... Squirrels crawl up over warm engine blocks of vehicles parked jusr outside of garage doors. nibble on electrical wire coverings and heater components. Very expensive repairs... I purchased POBD-1-02 several weeks ago, plugged it into garage wall socket, and all squirrels immediately disappeared from my yard! Now, several weeks after I installed the pest control unit in my garage, I saw squirrels in both my front and backyard bird feeders. Unplugged and moved pest control unit to new closer wall location, squirrels didn't leave... Please advise...

I think it will depend on where you have this hanging. I have seen no signs of squirrel activity on mine, even though I have a lot of squirrels in my yard, but a smaller rodent could more likely squeeze in between the metal wires...it would depend on if he is already below the baffle. If he is below, I would say he could get at the food...I am thinking field mouse size. They recommend that these bird feeders be hung four feet from any possible jumping perch, or to use a pole designed for this purpose.

It might. We caught the same squirrel several times while baiting for the woodchuck

This trap is pretty useless to catch squirrels. I would imagine chipmunks are about the same. All they have to do is roll the unit over and the latch will move enough to allow the doors to open - and bye bye animal. I recommend the Havahart 1078. Once you catch anything in there it will not be able to get out, period. It is totally worth the extra money.

I use the product to trap insects crawling up my fruit trees. First, you wrap the tree trunk with the tape and then smear on the goop. Judging from how hard it is to remove from your hands, a squirrel should be at least highly annoyed.

The PestChasers will repel rodents such as mice and rats. They would not be recommended to repel squirrels.

I had rats in the attic. I just threw some around where I saw the hole under the eves of the roof. I wore disposable gloves. Good luck!

I would ask the manufacturer. It works great on gophers but I've never tried on squirrels. Sorry

cannot say; it really did not work all that well for squirrels. I had to get a professional exterminator.

I used fishing line from the trap to a piece of wood, installed three traps on one piece of wood (so my traps stayed where I put them) baited them with peanut butter and got rid of six flying squirrels in the attic..

First make sure you are using the best batteries they will last longer and give a lethal jolt. It could be the rodent entered the trap and took the food but the batteries were weak but set off the red indicator. Also I use salmon training dog treats and put a couple in front of the trap opening and then a couple way in the back against the metal plate. I have caught and killed mice and small squirrels that some how got into my home attic. Believe me they can smell the dog treats and it has worked every time.

Do not know about rats,or skunks,because i do not have a problem with them,but Squirrels. I still have them! Did not work for those pesky little rodents. I purchased two of them figuring it would be a double wammy ,but they are still running around the attic.

This trap does work for tree squirrels, but I had to make some adjustments. A tree squirrel is a lot bigger than the ground squirrels, and has a lovger reach. They can get their little paws in to the bait through the cage and steal it. I cut a top off a plastic bakery container from the super market, and cut it in half. I secured it, facing the shield, with twist ties. Then I put in the bait. The squirrels couldn't steal the bait. The squirrels can not dig their way out as the cage is all wire, all the way around. Any animal can dig under to get to the bait. But I put the trap on a concrete area, and was able to secure it with garden stakes at the edge of the trap. It couldn't move and it couldn't be dug under. It works.

It does kill squirrels. A huge one got into my trap and was killed, even though he was only partly able to fit inside. So I am trying to minimize the space accessible into the opening of the trap to hopefully prevent this from happening again. I only hope a cat never tries to get in there. These traps are real zappers.

I would think it could work, I have never tried it. Unfortunately, The squirrels get to it before the birds
