Review: One that works, at last - This is a fourth trap I bought. This one works! The previous ones went back to desertcart. The doors at each end don’t spook the squirrel which enters thinking it can shoot out at the other end. The mechanism is sensitive but not too much. The doors drop and the first squirrel at least was not able to get out. The doors are heavy and they stay in place under their own weight. There is no gap at the bottom for the animal to prise them upwards and escape. Incredibly simple and effective. A previous trap of a different design worked until the squirrel uncoiled a retaining spring. I guess when your life depends on it you’re think fast and hard - and these little critters are ingenious. So much more satisfying when you outclever one. The trap had nice solid feel and has been powder coated in green - it should last long. It’s very easy to prime/set once you’ve worked out how. There are no instructions - it’s only fair you should have a certain IQ to catch these little Einsteins - but don’t be put off by it. Again, highly recommended. I’m considering buying another one. Now I need to think of a way of transporting the trap with an animal in it that will prevent my car smelling of squirrels. Be warned they stink! By the way I read somewhere releasing squirrels is illegal. Is it true?
Review: Works really well caught 8 Grey Squirrels in 14 days - Arrived earlier than advised, well packed. No instructions on how to set trap but only took a couple of minutes to work it out, The little blighters were easily drawn into trap with peanut butter used as a glue to make a pile of peanuts. One of the bigger squirrels did mananged to bend one piece of the wire in a corner but easily put back so inspected trap every couple of hours. Would suggest it only be set up during daylight hours as if left overnight there could be a hedgehog trapped in the morning. Also caught a magpie which didn't appreciate being captive. Really good trap and no longer having lawn ruined with holes filled with acorns. July 2021 Now caught 28 squirrels and have not seen another for a number of weeks. Lent it to a friend and he caught 5 squirrels in 2 days. Pity it's not available at the moment and hope it will be back soon as other friends are hoping to order one of these super traps as soon as they're back in stock.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can someone tell me how to set the trap please**
A: The doors come upside down for packing purposes, so position the door so that the bolt is at the bottom and pointing outwards.  First of all take the doors out of their slides position the rods in the centre of the sides over one another and then gently let the doors slide do until the bolt rests on the cross rod connected to the vertical bar that you just set. Jane a good look at their advertising photo. Naturally you first load the bait on the centre plate.  Hope this helps. M

**Q: Does this cage work for rabbits**
A: When i had the trap set i caught a cat , it was about the same size as a rabbit if not bigger. i would imagine if you put rabbit food on the plate i can't see why not.

**Q: Does this come set up**
A: It comes as you see it in the photograph.It is very simple to use and effective.Would recommend.

**Q: Is there an easy mechanism for live release of the animal?**
A: It is of course illegal to release a grey squirrel after it has been captured, however this trap does not kill animals and I suppose it would be easy to release them. Just lift one of the doors at either end.
