I haven't yet tried it on raccoons, just squirrels. It was a disappointment. The squirrels didn't like it and they threw it out of the attic, onto the ground but it didn't chase them away. In my experience with raccoons, they have a little more on the ball than do squirrels and I can imagine that if a raccoon has an established pattern for finding food and shelter in a particular place, it would take a little more than the fox urine to get rid of it. We have both foxes and raccoons on my place and they don't seem to get in each other's way. Let me qualify the above remarks by noting how much colder than usual this winter has been. In the last 30 years that I've lived here, we've always had a squirrel or two that have overwintered in the attic. It was a little annoying but they didn't do any damage. This past fall, I had a terrible time with multiple squirrels and rats moving into the attic, gnawing on the wood and making a lot of noise. I was concerned that they would do damage to the PVC plumbing and the wiring. I wondered, at the time, if we were going to have a cold, wet winter. Turns out we have. Under other circumstances, the fox urine might have worked, if the squirrels perceived they had other shelter options. I ended up having to shoot five of them off the side of the house. In 30 years I've never shot that many. I finally had to do a lot of work closing off any possible entries to the attic.

My experience says it won't keep anything away. The deer stroll right up and eat my fuchsias. The squirrels still dig holes in my garden and planters. As for birds, they still empty the bird feeder three feet away from the unit.

This thing works great! I placed it outdoor in my backyard, aimed at a couple of very destructive squirrels. I used peanut butter as bait and killed a total 5. Now my backyard is frequented with new arriving squirrels again. I will let them live and play, but will bring back the trap again if they started misbehaving.

Our squirrels are not black or red, and they are grey in color, so they must be grey squirrels- fairly large. Yes, it works. I've found if you put the bait in the center, they can grab and go (tails must keep door open, and if they just back up they can get out) I've had success just putting the bait (peanut butter on small piece of bread) off to the corner, but not so close to the corner where they can reach it from outside. I catch 1-2 at a time, never more than that. Once after leaving it out for about 5 hrs, came back and 2 squirrels were in there dead already. I don't like to leave it out for too long and make them suffer. Our squirrels are not black or red, and they are grey in color, so they must be grey squirrels- fairly large. Yes, it works.

I doube it will work. I used it to scare rabbits and squirrels from the yard. It works for a couple of days, then they came back. As long as they have a nest nearby, they will get used to the smell in a few days.

I cannot guarantee anything but I certainly think it will work. Mice & squirrels seem to hate it.

The Mouse Magic package mentions its effective against rats and mice due to their dislike of the natural ingredients, it repels, not kills them. I think the only way you can rid your property of squirrels is to cut off their food supply - nuts.

I would think the rifle would be successful with crows as I only use mine on pest squirrels. Even body shots eliminate the squirrels.

Yes, we caught squirrels with our trap. Place it near the entry point and if necessary, secure it to the roof or gutter so it doesn't blow away or get knocked off. We used crackers with peanut butter for the bait. It worked as planned and got rid of the squirrels in our attic.

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

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.

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.

I would imagine it works for any squirrel as long as they want the bait you are offering. We use unsalted peanuts.No, they cannot escape, once in cage. We have captured multiple squirrels at once and safely relocated them.

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

I imagine it will but why not just set a live trap and totally remove the squirrel? It will only keep the squirrel from chewing what ever you spray it on. Not sure it will make him want to leave a warm nest area with winter comming on.
