I don't know. This device only worked fairly well for the first month or so; after that, it was very difficult to get the device to work. I finally gave up and it's been in my garage ever since.

NO!!!!! The only thing this unit did was irritate my neighbors. Squirrels, Chipmunks, Cats and every other creature Laugh at it and some danced to the sounds & strobe lights. It should be advertised as a animal Disco. I returned it and kept my neighbors & dealt with the critters in other more conventional ways. Don't waste you money on this piece of JUNK!!!! Read my review and other answers to questions on this item.

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.

In my opinion, this product does NOT work in any way! I used it with the dispenser and I also put it loose on the ground. It did nothing. The squirrels would just sniff at and walk away. Frequently, they wold run up a tree and eat one of our apricots.

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.

No, it seemed to work for a while, but the animals got used to it. you need a ton of it and have to reapply constantly. I have quit using this product. I bought those high frequency sound tubes you stick down into the ground. They emit what sounds like a distress call and sends the critters in the other direction. They aren't foolproof, but better than anything else I have ever used for squirrels, moles etc. I only saw 1 squirrel in my yard last summer. Hope this helps.

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

It has an adjuster to make the stopper more or less sensitive to weight but I don't have any experience with squirrels

I have been fortunate to not to have that problem. Although Squirrels abound on my property, the AC adaptor is close to the backdoor where there is nothing for them to get into. Location, Location is key.

For the most part, yes. Mine is effective to date against raccoons and squirrels, although at some point I would not be surprised to see a raccoon put it on the ground. Many squirrels have jumped on it with no discernible spillage. A worthwhile investment with excellent and personal customer service.

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

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.

Can't really say that it works on all critters all the time. Have witnessed deer and raccoon who don't seem to react to this device.

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

No, I don't think it would kill a squirrel. Not enough power behind the shot.

Are you standing in front of it?? It seems to light. up when you , or anything is in front of it. If not, I would say yes , itis defective. Mine doesn't seem to do anything except light up. The squirrels don't even notice it.

I don't think, so, it makes a sound ever so often. The reason I purchase it was to keep away the squirrels. Seems like it is kinda working.

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.
