will this deep squirrels (which are rodents) away from my pumpkins? They destroy them every halloween.

Peppermint oil will keep squirrels away. Do a google search for "Does peppermint oil keep squirrels away". They have other suggestions, also. Hope this helps you.

I don't think so but I don't consider them much of a pest since they kill small rodents and keep the squirrels at bay. They don't really do much in my garden as they really are not vegans.

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

I live in Florida. Here we have roof rars or citrus rats. I keep a supply of these cubes in my attic just in case I have a visitor.If used for squirrels I think you might be exposing other critters or perhaps peoples pets to a surefire death. Not sure it would be legal. Check with your local state conservation department. I never leave the cubes out where other animals might get them. These cubes should be used with caution. Good luck with your problem.

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?

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.

Don't have a squirrel problem, so squirrels have no access to my cubes which are inside of traps so my dogs can't get to them - so I wouldn't know if they would be effective. If the squirrel would injest the poison, they would have internal bleading like mice and rats; however, I do not know if they would chew on a cube. I certainly know my dogs are attracted to them.

I only had deer and gophers eating everything . Nothing has been touched this year so far. I have a small peach tree with tiny fruit, they too are still there, whereas my neighbors have had squirrels attack them. I f you buy the thing, have the setting on continuous or sweep. the sensor does not sense far enough away. Also my young granddaughter hates the sound. I don't hear it.

i do not know about raccoons as i did not have any of those pests but it absolutely got rid of the groundhogs! Just be sure to sprinkle all away around your house or buildings because the groundhogs will just turn a corner a dig there!

I havent caught anything other than rats but thats because i used it indoors. If you put bait that attracts squirrels i would imagine it will catch them. I would suggest looking for a "humane rodent trap" that wont harm them if you are worried about that

The material is pretty flimsy so I doubt it would stop a determined squirrel. That being said I didn't have any squirrel problem at all. Whether it was because of the material waving in the wind or the fact that I trap any squirrels I see in my yard and export them across the river I don't know.Keep Smiling

I've used mine in my attic but I have 2 neighbors who use theirs outside and we all have had excellent results. I sometimes use peanut butter and sometimes use bacon with dog food. So far last winter I got 5 rats. Now I'm going to put it outside in a protected area and hope I get the squirrels that rob my pecan and almond trees.

Hi Thomas, Yes, they'll definitely take care of squirrels. See the two pics that I had posted. Roasted sunflower seeds are excellent for bait. Place 5-6 in the far back of the trap, 1-2 on each plate (to lead the squirrel into the far back), and 5-6 outside the trap around the entrance.

I bought mine for pigeons and it does not work very well. and I found one of my dogs with a squirrel in its mouth the other day, so not sure if it will scare them away.

Ron and Starvn are correct, I have a baffle on it and I don't have a problem with the squirrels. "No name's" suggestion to keep it away from trees is also recommended. Good Luck.

I use mine to keep the moles away so I havev't been paying attention to the squirrels. If I had to venture a guess I would guess that it would work on ground squirrels, but not on tree squirrels.

I do not know but I would not want to harm a squirrel. A live-catch trap and relocation would be a better solution. There are probably squirrel repellents that could also be used. Good luck.
