Will this kill a squirrel living in my attic? and if so do I just throw it up in my attic and hope he eats it

tie it with a metal wire or ziplock on the trees around your house, or on the gutter.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that this would kill a squirrel. It's not made for squirrels, but it is poison designed to kill small mammals. I don't know how your attic is setup, with insulation or walking spaces. It is designed to attract critters, so you would probably be safe just to toss it up there and hope for the best, or worst.... Depending on your point of view.

If it eats it I am sure it will kill it. I would put it along a wall where the insulation is disturbed or where the squirrel is coming in, if you know. Otherwise you could set a few out on any floorboards you have up there. FYI: squirrels are very persistent once they have made their way inside.Make sure you don't have anything else around for them to eat that would make them hang around. eg: birdseed

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

Wow, what kind of person shoots squirrels? That's horrible and you should be ashamed of yourself. How about putting it in a place squirrels can't get to or use a baffle.

Hello. You need to purchase the ground squirrel bait container to put the poison in. It has openings on either side so the squirrels can climb in and eat it. You can order these through Amazon or get at any Lowes store.

I would not recommend it for that, squirrels are very industrious and have all the time in the world the only thing that stops them is metal conduit.

Hi, we have tried it for a few weeks. it hasnt been very effective for squirrels in the attic. We haven't yet called the customer service to see if there are any adjustments possible. If I hadn't thrown away the box, I would have returned it.

Gabriella,I have been using these for years ever since my wife and I bought our house in 2010. They are great for outside. They wont rot, easy to bait, and are very effective. You can accidently trap anything that will go after the bait so use bait that squirrels wont go after or place in an area that squrel's wont go, I use the deck by my pool. I used a trap on the corner of my house and yes did accidently kill a squirrel, but I had placed the trap up high. I haven't had a problem with stuff close to the ground.

Cathy, I just don't know. I think it is possible that it would hurt them. I have it set up in my basement and have never had a problem with squirrels there. Good luck. You might be able to create a "door" on the front of the Zapper, that would prevent larger animals from entering, but allow mice to get in.

I don't know. I only have one unit that I keep on my back porch & it works great keeping the squirrels off the porch. Hope to be getting a unit some time soon for my attic.....I'm just waiting for my son to put a plug up there!

I don't want to kill squirrels! If this kills squirrels, I don't want it. Can someone recommend one that only kills mice and rats?

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.

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

It is NOT resistant to squirrels... As my "hole-y" lid will attest. Keep it indoors, or spray it with a deterrent.

We used it to keep squirrels out of our veggie garden. We built a metal mesh fence around the garden and attached it to the fence post. Then we bought plastic fastener to attach to the metal fence to hold the wire. We got these at the farming supply store. The ends of the wire attach to a post on the bottom of the unit. Then we attached the other end to another post and ran the extension of that piece to a ground post that we bought and installed. Hope it helps. It really kept the squirrels out of the garden without killing them Really freaked a few out though. Don't touch it with wet hands! We used it to keep squirrels out of our veggie garden.

Cut up apples seems to work best. I think the squirrels can smell the apples better when they are freshly cut in pieces. I got 12 squirrels at one time in the trap by just useing the apples.

I wish I knew how to answer your question, but I really don't know ! I love how mine works perfectly for keeping the squirrels away :-)

dont know about squirrels, i got it for my parents home and they just love it, it got rid of the field mice and they have since gotten another one, but one of the device did the trick, they wanted one for their laundry room
