Will this kill a squirrel?

Not very humanely with its fps, nor very accurate at a distance. Would be much better off with a rifle that has a fps of 900 or more.

No, You will need something closer to 600 or 700 feet per second before you can hunt small game.

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

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 have not used this with squirrels but if I have another issue with them chewing on my house I will. I think it's powerful enough to do the job. Hopefully you won't find the neighbor's cat inside.

Absolutely. I've had it about 3 months, and have only seen 1 squirrel in the backyard. He was running for his life. I am having great luck with it. Before, the squirrels were eating through all of our chair cushions. Haven't lost a cushion since I installed it.

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.

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've never seen a squirrie, but it will kill a squirrel (if it sits still).

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.

Yes, I have shot down birds, and squirrels. Squirrels don't die easy. So you got to pump a lot of rounds into them.

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.

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.

Mine didn't repel mice or chipmunks... I don't think it will help with squirrels

It will easily kill a rabbit or squirrel but coons are tough. A head shot is a must and you have to be no longer than about 30 yards.

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.

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.

I think it would be effective on squirrels, but we also have many birds at our bird feeder and we don't want to disturb the birds. Both eat in the daytime. We have caught squirrels in a live trap and moved them to another wooded place. We make bait with peanut butter smeared on a piece of thick paper and press sunflower seeds into the peanut butter. We call it "Annie bait" because our 8-year old granddaughter, Annie, came up with the idea. Take the squirrels away at least 3 miles or they may return.
