Not sure . Their are various frequency settings on it depending on the animal. Settings include deer, raccoons, skunks, rabbits, cats, dogs, rodents. The mount the device at the height from the ground specific to the animal you want to deter. Mine is mounted at the height of a walking cat, I still have squirrels in my yard.

Works well on Florida squirrels because they are small. Not so well on Michigan squirrels, they are bigger, and it just slaps them on the head so they come back tomorrow and do it again.

Don't think it will work, I think the animal needs a ground. It would be like a squirrel on power lines. They need to have a foot on the ground.

Squirrels may be too quick to kill them every time but I expect it would work pretty well. I know cage type traps used to work really well for my grandparents.This one is just two metal plates on the bottom, if their front feet hit one and back feet the other it'll send out electricity for 3 minutes. Either the squirrel will get away in the first second after it touches the plates or it will die. I've had one or two mice set it off without dying out of about 10.

I can not give you a definitive answer. We use the Green Esteem pole for our hummingbird feeder. Squirrels do not bother it.

it might but not sure as it works on a pole preventing a squirrel from going up

I don't think it would work for squirrels since it's made to be placed in a hole where a gopher tunnels. I wouldn't pay mobey on it for that purpose.

I can't answer that Karen. I use it for squirrels and it worked until it rained and I had to reapply.

It worked on my chicken and deer problem. I would expect it to work on skunks. If you have a specific area to defend it should be effective.

Only if they come within 3 or four feet of the front of this devise. I would not recommend it for squirrels

I shudder at the thought, but I guess if your squirrels aren't too big. The ones we have here in Florida are not very large, I would assume they would. Try one.

They may; I have caught one ground squirrel in my Cinch traps. He barely fit. They work well with pocket gophers.Stan

I believe if you push it into the ground as far as it will go the sensor will pick up a skunk moving along the ground==we use ours for deer so I'm not positive, but I know my German Shepherd sets it off every time she goes near it!

It works great on squirrels. It should work for raccoons. I tested it by touching it and received a surprisingly strong jolt. Because the shock is intermittent, it doesn't harm birds or small animals. In fact, I used it to keep birds from building a nest on an antenna. One shock and they flew away, never to return. The unit is water resistant, but I did put a plastic bag over it just to be safe. You will need some bare aluminum wire, insulated stand-offs, wooden posts, and a means of grounding a unit. I clamped the ground to a convenient cold water pipe. If no grounding is available, you will have to drive a copper post into the ground.4 D cell batteries lasted all summer.

I cannot guarantee anything but I certainly think it will work. Mice & squirrels seem to hate it.

I would imagine it works for any squirrel as long as they want the bait you are offering. We use unsalted peanuts.No, they cannot escape, once in cage. We have captured multiple squirrels at once and safely relocated them.
