I wonder if this works on squirrels - we have way too many and they are very destructive.

The entrance to the device is three inches high and three inches wide. It's also one foot long. My guess is that it would accommodate a squirrel. Would the squirrel be small enough to sustain a lethal charge? I'm not sure, but there's only one way to find out. Plan B would be a CO2 powered pellet gun and an iron will. I really don't think I could kill a squirrel that way, though it might even be more humane than electrocution if done correctly.People have been saying they're catching rats with the terminator. The tree squirrels of North America don't look much bigger than rats to me. I say give it a try. The entrance to the device is three inches high and three inches wide. It's also one foot long.

See the images of the Rodent Terminator I posted here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B006ZNOX6I This is the version of the ''RodenTerminator'' that I received in Dec. 2013. I am not sure if there are (or have been) any different versions than this one.The opening is slightly less than 3-1/16" wide x 2-3/4" high. The sides are slightly sloped; the width of the opening at the top is about 2-7/8"This is pretty small for the squirrels in our area to fit through easily.

Works great on squirrels. I don't even have to check on the light to see if we have gotten one. The squirrel back end and tail sticking out the front of the trap is a giveaway. Most humane way and clean way ever to dispatch a rodent I have ever used.

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?

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.

Hi Dan, my problem was squirrels gettings in my engine. I sprinkled this around my car and it kept them away. Give it a try. I hope it works!

We don't have chipmunks around here, but I'm sure it would, because squirrels are bigger and stronger, and they can't get past it. Good luck!

That would work and poison bait is what I used to use. Switched to traps because of the high cost of the bait and that I didn't like the idea of the dead ones laying around. Were I used to have hundreds of squirrels 2 years ago I now only occasionally have one. The breeders are gone

Absolutely not. The squirrels are smarter than we think, they open the roof with their heads and quickly exit with as peanut in their mouth.Fun to watch as they chew away the outer shell and eat the peanuts. P.S> The Squirrels have destroyed some wooden feeders I had but the metal one looks as good as the day I put it out.

Since I actually feed my squirrels I wouldn't know. It hasn't helped on the voles either! I'm trying to drown them now. But what seems to work is aromatic plants like garlic, thyme, rosemary, etc. try feeding your squirrels outside the area you want them away from.

Hi,It does not kill rat how can this kill squirrels,to bad you fell like killing such a cute animal,shame on you.

This trap does work for tree squirrels, but I had to make some adjustments. A tree squirrel is a lot bigger than the ground squirrels, and has a lovger reach. They can get their little paws in to the bait through the cage and steal it. I cut a top off a plastic bakery container from the super market, and cut it in half. I secured it, facing the shield, with twist ties. Then I put in the bait. The squirrels couldn't steal the bait. The squirrels can not dig their way out as the cage is all wire, all the way around. Any animal can dig under to get to the bait. But I put the trap on a concrete area, and was able to secure it with garden stakes at the edge of the trap. It couldn't move and it couldn't be dug under. It works.

I know that they work on rodents like mice and rats but I'm not sure about squirrels. Good luck. Let us know if you buy it and they work.

Yes, very much so. I have killed countless squirrels that were terrorizing our bird feeders!!

I honestly don't know---I don't have squirrels where I live. Maybe a metal one would serve you better.

Don't know about the squirrels but we have good sized field rats that burry under our shed in the back and it gets them and kills 'em grave yard dead!!! Excellent trap.

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.

Good question. It might... if you can cover all possible places where squirrels want to walk (run). I believe this may be somewhat difficult and a little unsightly in some locations (i.e. on your roof or bird feeder).

Probably! Depends if the squirrels like music or not! It might also scare the birds,

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.

I have routinely used mine since purchasing to rid squirrels from my backyard, and they are pretty resilient, so I'm positive it is powerful enough to take your crows out.
