Works Well
3 of 3 found this helpful I've caught hundreds of squirrels with 4 of these traps. They are durable except when I accidentally ran one over with my truck, but even that was repairable. Never found one full of squirrels like the pictures, but I've had 2 or 3 at a time on occasion. I don't bother with latching it open for a few days to get the squirrels used to it. In most cases, I just bait it and the squirrels come. Plain oats are a good cheap bait for ground squirrels. I put some piles inside and sprinkle a few outside leading up to the entrance, and more right where the door lifts up so they will push against it and accidentally discover they can lift it and get inside. You need to place it on concrete or put a board under it or they will dig under to get the bait. If the squirrels are too stupid or too smart to get in the trap, then latch the doors open for a few days so they can get used to the easy meal and they will go back in when you put the doors down. Put some bricks or something on top so they don't push it around, and so skunks, raccoons, etc., don't push it around. I've caught a few skunks. If you want to let them go, leave the large door on top unlatched with a brick on it. You can knock the brick off with a long stick to let the skunk out. A few squirrels have learned to get out, so I'll have to get a different trap for those. My only complaint is there is nothing to keep the door closed once a squirrel goes through but the squirrel being too stupid to lift it up. That does allow multiple catches, but the occasional one will escape. I got some drowning tubs, but that proved to be too much hassle when I'm catching hundreds of squirrels. A bb gun is a lot easier. If your squirrels are too wary, put a couple small logs alongside, pine cones on top, etc., to make the area look more natural.

Barely Used and Broken, Dangerous
I tested this when it was new and maybe used it once many years ago during a power outage. I tried it again during a recent outage and it worked for a few minutes but when I wound it up again it broke. I guess something wrong with the winding mechanism. It won't play at all and the winding crank & knob turn so quickly as it winds down that it could easily cause injury. Something like this needs to be dependable for use when power goes out, but nope.

Just Ok
Good value in that it is thicker than most of these that are about the same price or even 50% or greater more in cost, but you need to be very careful with it because it still tears easily. It brushed against my pedal as I was removing it, didn't even get caught on the pedal, but it tore. It does keep the rain out which the typical blue tarps don't do. It would be better if it had white stitching or some colored designs on it because since it is all black it takes a bit longer to put it over the bike because it is hard to see the shape & figure out which is the longest side, top, bottom, etc.
