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.

Keep in mind these are KILL traps, which might be illegal for squirrel use depending on your county / city codes.

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

I've never seen a squirrie, but it will kill a squirrel (if it sits still).

Yes, I have used it to stop squirrel damage before. Soak the wood and repeat every couple months until the squirrels learn.

No, not on squirrels. I bought this to use on gophers but discovered that instead of gophers, I had moles. It doesn't work on moles.

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

I can verify that it is DEADLY for squirrels.I personally have 'taken care of' at least 40 who thought my backyard bird feeders were for them.I have it sighted in for EXACTLY 70 feet... without the scope, and more often than not, the squirrel is no longer an issue. :)

I only used it against squirrels so I can not say except that it is stinks and is powerful.

I bought mine for pigeons and it does not work very well. and I found one of my dogs with a squirrel in its mouth the other day, so not sure if it will scare them away.

I've used the RatZapper for a few years now and can say it does kill ground squirrels, but one needs to use the RatZapper Ultra or the new Raticator Max. Both use 4-D batteries. Anything less and it ends up being a slow torture for the squirrel and usually doesn't kill them. After a couple of kills I always check the batteries to see how much power they still have in them. If the battery strength gets too low, it will not kill a ground squirrel. Overall, it works best on smaller squirrels. I had one unit I had to throw away since it wouldn't kill. The thing would activate, but the poor animal would scream, then lay there paralyzed. After I pulling them out by the tail they had enough strength to walk/run off. Yes, I let them go, since there's no way I'm going to try to kill a squirrel I'm holding by the tail! Go to Ratzapper.org for more info. To bait them, place the dry bait in the rear of the Zapper and then place a few seeds at the entrance. Go to

Yes, but I wouldn't try to shoot one at ranges farther than about 15 or 20 yards away because power would be a little on the weak side out to there. At 25 to 30 feet away you should get a clean kill with a good head shot. For general hunting purposes for squirrels this would not be my first choice because a pistols velocity and accuracy are for close range. For hunting squirrels I would recommend a rifle in the 1000 to 1200 feet per second range. There are several on the market at around 100.00 and less. But if you're just trying to keep squirrels away from your bird feeder this should do just fine....Hope this helps...J Yes, but I wouldn't try to shoot one at ranges farther than about 15 or 20 yards away because power would be a little on the weak side out to there.

I have not used this with squirrels but if I have another issue with them chewing on my house I will. I think it's powerful enough to do the job. Hopefully you won't find the neighbor's cat inside.

No definitely not, it won't even shock the squirrels that are just hanging on by the bird perches. Hope this helps.

I think it would be effective on squirrels, but we also have many birds at our bird feeder and we don't want to disturb the birds. Both eat in the daytime. We have caught squirrels in a live trap and moved them to another wooded place. We make bait with peanut butter smeared on a piece of thick paper and press sunflower seeds into the peanut butter. We call it "Annie bait" because our 8-year old granddaughter, Annie, came up with the idea. Take the squirrels away at least 3 miles or they may return.

Not sure, but it will take down squirrels with no problem. I would imagine it would take out a griund hog to. Just use the pellets that break apart on impact to maximize damage.

I guess it would. You can only give it a try. Those squirrels are smart crafty little things. They really like to figure things out. I love watching them.
