The bait works well.You need the plastic container to put the bait in.Looks like a box with two 3 inch holes on each end and a lid for the bait

I used a squirrel feeder, bouth at Home depot, they crawl in and take the food back to their den.

It looks like rat poison pellets, other animals could be exposed to it. I put some on my deck railing but they didn't touch it.

Hello. You need to purchase the ground squirrel bait container to put the poison in. It has openings on either side so the squirrels can climb in and eat it. You can order these through Amazon or get at any Lowes store.

The bait needs to be applied from a squirrel bait box which is available from Amazon. The bait is highly toxic and a hazard to other animals and pets. The bait box is designed with small enough openings for squirrels but not other animals.

I use Ro-pel to keep squirrels from eating my bulbs. It is not a systemic pesticide. According to bottle, can be used on fences, poles, garbage cans. So you can probably use it. Might want to check with National Pesticide center (1-800-858-7378) just to make sure it doesn't cause corrosion, etc. Essentially, Ro-pel just makes things taste bad. Could probably also use hot pepper spray.

Any should work, but other baits are possible. Have they already caught mice? If so you may need to boil them to get rid of the scent.

There is a plug in the trap that you must remove before you set the bait out. Just pull on it,carefull not to damage the bait, once out, set the bait where you want tit. It worked for me

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

rub the pole down with vaseline. protects the pole, and squirrels slide right off. lasts quite awhile too. now if they try and jump to your feeder, make sure it's squirrel proof, the best kind I've found are the ones that close the feed holes when the squirrel jumps on. My deck is 40 feet above ground, so if they're brave enough to jump on the feeder, they can't make it back, and that's the last time they try.

You need to buy the bait, we bought it at the same time on Amazon but it didn't look like the rats were going in the trap. We nailed pieces of the bait to the trees at night and removed it early in the moring. That work very well we no longer have a problem but we do check often to see if we need to treat again.

I hope my husband's plan works because we have lots of squirrels and rabbits around here. He is going to buy screening and furring strips (pieces of wood) and build large screened boxes to fit over each of the 3 units we bought. He said he was going to buy some L joints to rididize the structure and use stainless steel staples to attach the screening to the box shape. These will be light enough for us to lift them off the unit when we need to weed (or pick vegetables). He is also researching organic insecticides so we'll probably use a home-cooked method like cayenne pepper, garlic, and onions. Good luck with your garden.

I don't know why not. I used the bait trap but it did not work. The squirrels seemed to enjoy the taste. It did not work.

Hung in a brushy shrub or evergreen, cardinals will visit them regularly. Black oil sunflower seed works best in them. They definitely aren't squirrel proof. I used a length of picture wire to wrap around the little ball on the cap and to the hanger so that if the squirrels get in, I don't loose my lids. Filling through the top with a canning funnel while it rests inside something that catches spilled seed works very well. The seed in these does not tend to stay wet, even when it snows-good air flow I guess. HTH!

Adding in an inert filler with low volume products is standard procedure for many agriculture applications (such a spreading clover seed). Select a filler that is similar in size and density so your product does not settle out as it bounces around. I've used dry sand, ground corn husk, ground nut shells, and corn meal for example. Bulk corn meal is easy to come by at a farm store, and should work well with fire ant bait.

We just hung it from a grape arbor by putting in a bolt and an S hook. Squirrels are still on them all the time. It is not much on squirrel prevention.

I used the Terro outdoor liquid and bait 6 pack T1806, as I could see them outside and this worked really well. I used 2 bait traps and placed them where they already had a trail to follow. I have not seen anymore big black ants in the house. I have used the small bait traps in the house with success but you need to keep them away from children and pets. Again you need to find the trail where they come into the area where they are located and put the trap where they have to walk on it or through it coming in or going out. Ants follow a path and don't change the path unless you do some thing to interrupt it. In the spring flying ants come out of the nests and fly off to make new nests, if you see them, kill them, use a spray, by hand, or knock them out of the air to the grown and step on them. I have used most of there products for ants and they have worked very well for me. Just read and follow the directions.

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.

This trap is definitely effective for grey squirrels. I caught, transported and released four of them in five days, using a mixture of birdseed and raisins for bait.

I just fill a medium-sized mixing bowl 2/3 full and stir with a serving spoon until all the seed is nicely coated. I wind up using about 3 serving spoons of the product. But you can start with 1 or 2 spoonfuls and add more until you get the result you seek. We have found this product to be wonderfully effective at deterring squirrels and all the other rodents and mammals that the Pacific Northwest has to offer, and we have *not* needed to coat the seed until it's anywhere near sopping wet!

I use it primarily on wild bird cakes. I cut open the wrapping at the top and use a spoon to drizzle a small amount over the center and down the sides of the cake, turning the cake to distribute as evenly as I can. Then I remove the wrapping and place the cake in the wire basket. Enough gets into and around the cake that it slows the squirrels down quite a bit and the cakes last much longer. A spoon can be used to drizzle the liquid into birdseed in feeders also.
