can this kill a squirrel?

Yes if you hit it at the right spot it will become instant food for the hawks and buzzards.
947126
Yes it will but, the general rule is .22 cal for fur and .177 for feather animals.
947127
It certainly could but I personally wouldn't attempt it. I consider myself an excellent shot with this great little gun but would never attempt squirrel size game unless it came down to survival. The .177 PC77 is great for small pests such as rats and mice. I would opt for a more ethically appropriate .22 pellet rifle for squirrels.

Yes, but I wouldn't try to shoot one at ranges farther than about 15 or 20 yards away because power would be a little on the weak side out to there. At 25 to 30 feet away you should get a clean kill with a good head shot. For general hunting purposes for squirrels this would not be my first choice because a pistols velocity and accuracy are for close range. For hunting squirrels I would recommend a rifle in the 1000 to 1200 feet per second range. There are several on the market at around 100.00 and less. But if you're just trying to keep squirrels away from your bird feeder this should do just fine....Hope this helps...J Yes, but I wouldn't try to shoot one at ranges farther than about 15 or 20 yards away because power would be a little on the weak side out to there.

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

No...it cannot...an air rifle is not suitable to hunt anything larger than a squirrel. Shooting a deer with this rifle would only cause it pain and give it a flesh wound.

Please don't. The absolute minimum energy required to kill a squirrel with a headshot is 3 fpe, which this thing just BARELY makes. That said, steel BBs in a smooth bore gun are NOT accurate enough to make headshots past 10 yards or so. Buy a springer, or better yet a .22lr gun if you want to hunt small game. This thing is for target shooting.

From experience, we know it IS effective for deer and rabbits. Don't know about squirrels. Might be a question for the manufacturer. We like it because it doesn't harm any animals but is effective for deer, which is our problem here.

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

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

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.

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.

Yes. It works. We had a squirrel in our attic. I set the trap right at the opening and got him. Read my review.

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

Yes you can kill small game with it. I've taken several rabbits,countless squirrels and two raccoons. It's like any other weapon,shot placement is the key.

Yes, but it requires PERFECT shooting for a penny sized kill zone. Otherwise squirrels will run. Heart/lung shots are not acceptable for humane kills.

Maybe but I wouldn't recommend it. The jaws do have the clamping force of a traditional spring trap so I doubt it would be a clean kill. Having a squirrel flailing around with this trap wrapped around it would not be a pretty sight.
1359952
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.

Pumped ten times maximum, and hitting the head at close range, probably yes! But body shots will only wound slightly without killing! After a few body shots the squirrels high tail it for the trees when you appear at the door!!

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.
