Had 3 squirrels living in my attic. The day I watched this video,I bought the squirrelnator. Set the trap up lastnight,wake up this morning and all 3 are in the cage! Game over! Great product!

[@TheGringo1947]

What do you do with them after they are caught?

[@scottywasielewski2110]

@@TheGringo1947 brought them all to the park a few miles away.

[@ccdogpark]

This trap is for people with a large property like a farm and/or an orchard who don't have time to keep driving their tractor over to check it. You could have done the same thing with a Havahart 1083 EZ-Set trap. Did you ever use this trap again ? I'm just curious.

[@scottywasielewski2110]

@@ccdogpark my landlord is too cheap to fix the roof or even to fix the holes for that matter. The squirrels have chosen my attic as their spawn spot every year now. It gets a lot of action. Catch maybe 20-30 squirrels a year in it. Relocating the squirrels to a park 3 miles away.

[@lvsnwbd]

Hi Shawn, I own the RatInitiator. It works good for big rats and squirrels and has a trap door in the center to put the food. The only problem is, is that small rats and mice can fit through the cage. The mice would go into it and eat all the food in the food area and then leave the trap. also medium mice go in to the trap through the door and would try and wedge there bodies out of the cage and get stuck and die. Then I would have to cut them out which was not fun. I got tired of doing this so I wrapped the cage and tie wired 1/4" mesh grid fence on all sides and now I catch tons of Mice Rats and Squirrels. A lot of the times I catch all three. Since i did that its the only thing I use on the ranch and even better the food never gets eaten because they can not access it. I thought you would like this. I watch your videos all the time.

[@venomsigintarma9444]

The store I work for sells both, and every time we sell one, a week later we get raving reviews from them due to how well they work. We sell both Rat and Squirrel with the coupled basin buckets. And have even been shown personal images from a customer with 20+ in the rat version. I'll verify they work great for how simple they are. And a fun fact, the Rat and Squirrel trap work differently from one another, due how rats and squirrels interact with objects and such.

During the past 4 days I have caught 4 squirrels and ... one skunk... which I was able to relocate without being spayed- thanks for teaching me how to, you tube! Fantastic product, thank you!

Is that Squirrelinator an invention of *doofenshmirtz* ? Hmm.

[@AznJsn82091]

In before the squirrels were members of the OWCA

[@HungryGuyStories]

I bought two of these. Squirrels were getting into my garage and damaging my cars. These traps do work as advertised :-) Though I'd suggest that you set it on a plywood base to keep the bait dry when the ground gets damp, and a plywood cover to keep the bait dry when it rains. The squirrels also have a tendency to push the trap around trying to escape, so put a lip or wood tabs on the plywood base and top...

[@markhondaturbo]

That was so funny how the squirrels were politely letting you do your review with out making noise or running around. They were very attentive 🤣

[@SArmst2547]

What was the bait used? I have a whole garden of tulip bulbs, and these buggers love those, but I don't want to sacrifice more bulbs!

[@melissabrown5320]

What is a "ground squirrel"? Is there any difference between a ground squirrel and the gray squirrels that eat nuts, corn, tree fruit, etc.?

[@DTDdeathmas]

Apparently they are different than tree squirrel. They live in or on the ground and tend to be bigger and have shorter tails. They are in the same family as prairie dogs . Source: Wikipedia

[@Reader-Copy]

From observations around my yard one type nests in ground burrows (usually near nut trees--walnut or oak) often under clusters of rocks or in tall grass; the other type nest up in the trees. Seems they go for the same types of food, with the ground squirrels foraging produce falling from the trees, and don't seem to climb them.

Tried several methods on KZbin, tried 20 mouth traps, non worked. Got this Squirrelinator from North 40 Outfitters, cheaper than Amazon, got on over night. I'm so happy! No assembly required, another fabulous feature, I used Honey Nut Cheerios as bates.

[@johnlord8337]

This looks better than the bigger, more clumsy havahart that only catches one. And it is low and wide for stealthy operations.

I got the model with the basin 2 days ago. So far, I have captured 9 squirrels!! After dealing with one this morning…I did not see any squirrels for the rest of the day. PS: Put some type of platform beneath the squillinator …because they will dig beneath it to get to the bait. The unit is fantastic!!!!

Any good trap for squirrels getting into my attic? They are coming back every year. I have had to get a new roof many times already. We have fruit trees in our backyard which must be attracting them.

[@barsoom43]

Are you kidding? Squirrels are bushy tailed rats.. A real nuisance... When I catch them, they die.. Tree hugger idiots, not to worry.. I throw them onto my brush pile and Mrs Fox comes by and takes them to her kits for lunch.. So, there is no waste and I keep them out of my garden and blackberry bushes..

awe they're cute. My apartment complex has several. They clean up all of the acorns that fall around. Its funny when they freeze in place and think you cant see them

[@SomeStrangemysterious]

We have an ongoing squirrel problem in our yard. We paid a wildlife trapping company $300 last year to help rid our rodent problem. All they did was bring a squirrelnator trap out and toss down some sunflower seeds as bait. It worked great and over 7 days we caught 10 squirrels. But this year, I’ve bought my own trap $40 and I can use it and reuse it anytime I see the squirrel problem getting out of hand.

[@kenvillarias5649]

The Shadow where he walks towars the trap and the Squirrel was so scared. Reminds me of Attack on Titan 😂.

I have at least five baby ground squirrels in my yard, I cannot wait to try this out. It will be delivered TOMORROW!

[@ccdogpark]

How did this work for you ? Were you referring to grey squirrels ? WRZ 2021-08-06

[@SerenaHe-z3k]

@@ccdogpark It worked great. Ground squirrels are the squirrels living underground like gophers, but a lot of faster and active. However when you use, please be sure the cover the top of the trap with something thick and dark, the squirrels will die of stress if they feel exposed in a matter of couple of hours.

[@markhalley1140]

Bought this yesterday, baited as directed, the saw the squirrels sitting on top of the trap reaching through the wire to grab seeds. Now I’ve got to block the roof of the trap so they have to work around the sides and find the doors.

I would love to see a side by side of the Squirrelinator and the Ratinator. I see only a couple of differences namely the number of doors and the feed box from pictures. I got the Ratinator earlier this year and am pretty happy with it. The plates that protect the handles sure are nice because some of those rats are very aggressive. I caught a few big ones that had become trap shy of my tomcat style snap traps. Thanks for the testing these for us.

[@Dcalhoun]

Shawn, I've watched a few of your videos. What do you use for bait for squirrels?

[@j.n.8153]

This resembles the grill for barbecuing. Use the other piece for charcoal. Well, it could also be used for deep frying.

[@chrism8645]

Love the fact that u admit your mistakes and nvr edit out faults in your vidoes.

[@raywhitehead730]

Works very well for California ground squirrels! I use chicken scratch for bait. Chicken feed is Very cheap and does not stink, or decompose quickly. Caught three the fist day. I recommend. It. And it looks like it will Last.

I work as a wildlife control tech. Earlier this year I got called out to someone’s house because a skunk was caught in one of these. Luckily I was able to get it out without getting sprayed. That was a fun day.

[@philsentry1745]

Would this trap work on tree squarills

[@adamkruskama8455]

We make a trap out of pvc pipe then slot both ends to except a conibear 110. Drill out some filbert nuts and hot glue them to the trigger and put a bait tray in the middle with peanut butter. Biggest problem is keeping skunks out of them.

[@cassyhwang3922]

Yeah my suggestion! Thanks Shawn

[@kdawg3484]

That worked really well. I wonder if Rugged Ranch would consider scaling the size up to make a Videostrikebureaucratinator. They have an infestation at KZbin HQ. Videos of making arrowheads work great as bait, I've heard. I'll volunteer to pay for the slightly-larger-than-trap basin for that one.

[@dtb5350]

Dumb question: will this work for tree squirrels as well? Because I have squirrels that are eating my corn fields and I've not had much luck hunting them varmints lately.

[@billr4283]

Absolutely….got 9 in 2 days!!! Put some type of platform beneath the unit. Because they will dig under the squirrelinator to get the bait.

[@mightymichelob]

I know this is an old video, but I have the Squirrelnator, and I caught exactly zero squirrels. What is the "right" bait to use? They apparently aren't fond of corn (on or off cob), so do I need to snag some sunflower seesds? I have tons of them around and need them thinned out. Also, do you leave out overnight or take it in each day? We have mice and raccoons who raid the food supply if left overnight and I certainly don't want to invite MORE vermin!
