will it work on 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).

It will keep them directly off the area you attach them to like eves and pitches of your roof ...you might block a path into your home but best to fix the entrance ...or an area they jump from a tree to the roof but they are not much af a deterrent to just keep them off ...you could also put them on the tree or along the top of a fence tp block a path to your house ...but squirrels are smarter than birds if they are in your home try fox urine crystals in a stocking they hate that and they will move on ... you can put that in the crook of a tree or in the attic or hanging from a string

Don't know. Mine keeps 98 percent of the birds off of my deck and porch, but every once-in-a-while I get a persistent bird that will try to walk around the spikes when its after a bug. Your squirrels might try the same thing to get at something that they want. I would say its better than having nothing at all though. Get a small box of the spikes and if they work you can always order more.

Hi, we have tried it for a few weeks. it hasnt been very effective for squirrels in the attic. We haven't yet called the customer service to see if there are any adjustments possible. If I hadn't thrown away the box, I would have returned it.

As long as it's not sprayed on vegetable. Spray around them, not on them. I bought it for ground squirrels and it worked for me.

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.

Since the Pest-a-Cator doesn't affect dogs, I'm not sure if it would be effective on raccoons or 'possums. I read that it will deter squirrels in attics if set up properly, however. Try contacting the manufacturer via their web site (also see their FAQ's); perhaps they can give you a better idea if the product might work for raccoons. It has worked well for our mouse problem!

I would not recommend this product as a deterrent of squirrels on any surface.I used it on wood with very liberal applications and it didn't phase the squirrels in the least.

I shudder at the thought, but I guess if your squirrels aren't too big. The ones we have here in Florida are not very large, I would assume they would. Try one.

It will trigger on racoons I had it triggering on small rabbits, but I'm not sure if it triggers on squirrels and birds cause I haven't found any pictures of them on the camera.

I don't think it would work for squirrels since it's made to be placed in a hole where a gopher tunnels. I wouldn't pay mobey on it for that purpose.

This trap is designed for rats and mice only. It is not recommended for use with squirrels, we apologize for any inconvenience.

It works on moles and gophers, since it's highly poisonous I would not leave it out so other animals can get in contact with it, if you to try it on ground squirrels I would push it as deep as possible into their borrow and cover with dirt, dogs can dig and get to it so if you have dogs be careful. I found the two best solutions for ground squirrels is barn cats and a 17HMR, the 17HMR is more for fun, the barn cats take very good care of all the vermin including moles, just feed the cats once a day just enough for them to stick around and the rest they get by hunting.

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'm sure it will, I put it in my bird seed that was up on a pole, but, it definitely kept the squirrels away. Add more to spice up the seed, I'm sure the chipmunks won't like that.

Yes but you need to mount it higher and point the sensor more to the ground. It gets rid of possums n squirrels as well

I used it on a squirrel, not sure now of the amount, but you could ask a vet.

I'm not sure whether this product works for squirrels or deer. There are still too many of both in our yard.

Curious to know if you got this and tried it to chase off squirrels? I want one for the exact same reason and have similar issues as you.
