In my opinion, this product does NOT work in any way! I used it with the dispenser and I also put it loose on the ground. It did nothing. The squirrels would just sniff at and walk away. Frequently, they wold run up a tree and eat one of our apricots.

It works on the squirrels about 50%. If you add a scarecrow, e.g. wooden or stuffed animal it works 100%. It should work on other animals too but I can not say for sure about the racoons. MB

I bought it to scare squirrels from our Mango trees. It did not work for squirrels at all. Squirrels would sit right in front of it with one of my mangos. I would click the remote to sound the alarm and the squirrels just kept chomping..., no effect at all. Also, device kept sounding off when a little wind made some leaves move (even on least sensative setting). It absolutely does not work on squirrels. I cannot say it will work on birds but, based on how well it works on squirrels, I have my doubts.

I guess it would. You can only give it a try. Those squirrels are smart crafty little things. They really like to figure things out. I love watching them.

You can try-but it did not work well for keepong squirrels away. I have detered the squirrels by using cayenne pepper & moth ball squares and so far NO more squirrels. Be careful with cayenne pepper-it will burn skin & eyes.

It might. We caught the same squirrel several times while baiting for the woodchuck

I believe that it will. Mine works great. I did put it in the attic which is where I was having a squirrel problem, though. They're gone but I am afraid to remove it because I don't want them coming back. Good Luck!

No, not on squirrels. I bought this to use on gophers but discovered that instead of gophers, I had moles. It doesn't work on moles.

I think it would if you built a frame around it onto which you could adhere the mesh. I used it for blueberry bushes and it worked for me except the squirrels did find ways in to get the blueberries.

This product works well for birds, not so well for squirrels. I double it up and make sure the edges are secure and it might keep squirrels away. They are usually looking for a source of water. Thats why they just bite into tomatoes and not eat them .. Try putting a water source or even a food source ( their own tomato plant, or cracked corn) away from your desirable plants.

I can't answer that Karen. I use it for squirrels and it worked until it rained and I had to reapply.

If they see it and can get to it and then figure out what it is, they probably would. I have used them for over 40 years and never had any problem, and yes we have squirrels, boy do we have squirrels. I sometimes have 3 feeders hanging from the gutter on a wire hooks on our deck, there are no trees around so I guess they just don't see them. This is a small one that I'll use in early spring and late fall when I don't have so many birds, then I use the larger ones in the summer.

Not sure about it working on squirrels but it definitely works on gophers.. We broke the blocks into pieces and put it at the junctions of the tunnels the things were making in our yard

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.

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.

Tried it both ways with squirrels . Did not work. Even tried it outdoors. No luck. Mothballs worked better.
