Will these traps work with ground squirrels?

I doubt it. The trap is designed for a burrowing rodent. The trap's shape, when engaged, fits pretty snug into the gopher's hole.

I agree. This works great for gophers. I had to buy 2 sizes as the smaller size caught some, but other critters were too big and would trip the trap before they'd get into it. Once I sized it correctly, they're great. You could try for ground squirrels, but get the biggest size.

Not even worked for moles. I tried so many different ways, so I did not make myself mistake to setup, but still didn't work. Maybe my backyard mole's IQ is so much higher than other area. That's all I can say. I can't judge this product is good and bad, because someone did it worked. Good luck , if you want to try them.

Don't know. Haven't tried that trap. But these do not work as well as the traditional wooden snap traps. These tend to not kill instantly. While they trap the animal they don't always kill leaving the animal to die slowly.

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.

The traps are about 8-10 inches long and 2.5 inches or so in diameter. They work great for me!

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.

It just does not work. The deer graze within feet of the unit. I do not know about squirrels since they ar not a problem in my garden but I doubt this thin will help.

I think it will work perfectly. You can only catch one at a time with this trap, but it great for those extra small critters.

I don't have a clue about any critters on the ground. We tried them on our Purple Martin houses and they didn't work for owl. I guess owls know that predators aren't up on the bird houses. Really don't know if they work for mountain lions, fox, coyotes, etc.

I used this trap for red squirrels and it worked great. Red squirrels are about one and a have to twice the size of a chipmunk. You may want to purchase a little larger trap if these kittens bigger than size described.

I have used the one door trap and got many many squirrels. It worked very well for me and very bad for the Squirrels.

If you mean a standard clay pigeon trap, I would say no. They are much smaller, and more brittle. They would probably shatter on release, and being much smaller and lighter, veer off in any direction. But, I haven't tried them, just speculating.

I doubt it will, you would need hardware cloth ( a wire mesh) for squirrel.

I'm too arid to know the answer to that question! These did work pretty well keeping the squirrels away until the raccoons kept uprooting them and throwing them at the horse :)

I can't say yes or no. I was having a rabbit and ground hog problem, and for those animals it did work. Unfortunately, I soon ran into a problem with a "herd" or field mice that decided to ravage my garden. I can't say one or or another if the product attracted the mice, but who knows for sure.

This trap does work for tree squirrels, but I had to make some adjustments. A tree squirrel is a lot bigger than the ground squirrels, and has a lovger reach. They can get their little paws in to the bait through the cage and steal it. I cut a top off a plastic bakery container from the super market, and cut it in half. I secured it, facing the shield, with twist ties. Then I put in the bait. The squirrels couldn't steal the bait. The squirrels can not dig their way out as the cage is all wire, all the way around. Any animal can dig under to get to the bait. But I put the trap on a concrete area, and was able to secure it with garden stakes at the edge of the trap. It couldn't move and it couldn't be dug under. It works.

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.

After putting out the bait, we did not see any more ground squirrels after 3 days. Hope that is helpful.
