Humane Squirrel Trap be sure you thoroughly understand the humane live capture squirrel trap directions, supplied with each squirrel trap. Peanut butter or snicker bar is considered the best bait for a catching a squirrel in your loft or garden. Placing a teaspoonful of peanut butter through the bars onto the treadle or a cube of snicker bar clipped to the treadle plate with a paper clip usually works best.

Your first step to catch your Grey Squirrel is to do a little detective work. Find the path that the squirrel is using to your loft or where ever it shouldn't be. To find this path, you must first watch your grey squirrel's routine. Normally, a grey squirrel will leave the nest at daybreak or shortly after in search of food. If you can get up this early and stay awake it's the best time to watch and wait. Find a place where you can view your house and the squirrel's entrance hole. Be very still, and watch how the squirrel gets to or from it's home to your's. E.g. climbing, jumping or both. Once you discover this path, you should place the Trap Man humane live catch squirrel trap accordingly.

Always place the squirrel trap on a stable surface, such as the ground, a flat roof or in the loft space on a solid board. If you can put up with the squirrel's antics for a few days leave the squirrel trap open but not baited, with the door tied up, so the squirrel will accept it as part of its normal area. You should also consider what if any other animals might be in the area of the Trap-Man humane live catch squirrel cage trap. Since a cat, dog, hedgehog or even a bird may be tempted into your trap. (We have been told of catching magpie's in our squirrel traps) Ideally you must be able to see or hear the humane squirrel trap operate, so it would be best to set it only when you have the time to watch or listen for the grey squirrel trap to operate. In the UK it is an offense not to check on the trap at least once per day

Checking the trap
Once the trap is set it must, by UK law, be visited at least once a day. We would recommend more frequent checking; in woodland situations early in the morning and again before dark; in gardens, check every few hours. If the bait is being eaten and the trap is not being tripped the probable reason are that mice or similar small animals are taking the bait the animals are not heavy enough to trip the trap, if you suspect this is happening raise the trap clear of the gound

Squirrel Trap Feedback

Hello there,
You asked me to let you know how I got on with the squirrel trap I bought from you a few weeks back. Well we are now 3 squirrels the better. All have been caught with Snickers as bait. For the first week we didn’t get anything but as our loft is obviously dark we left the light on and shut the loft door. One day later squirrel no1, 3 days later squirrel no2. Nothing for a week then we caught one but left it for an hour. By the time we got up there to retrieve the cage it had managed to somehow escape. Must have been half in and half out. 2 days later squirrel no3. Very angry, running up and down the cage head butting the gate!!
All in all I would recommend your cages to anybody. Easily set, well made and most importantly they work! All the best and thanks for your help and advice, Regards, G D

I am very impressed. I ordered a squirrel trap on Friday and it was delivered at lunchtime today (Tuesday) as promised. I baited it and trapped my first squirrel after just 2 hours. Great service, great product.

Dear trap man
We used the trap today for the first time. We caught 4 squirrels in 2 hours. As far as we know these were the only 4 using our garden regularly (no doubt we shall be proved mistaken of course), The results speak for themselves.
Absolutely excellent.It was effective and easy to use and painless to the squirrels

Trap Man Squirrel Trap......... .......
Did exactly as it said on the tin!! Caught the little beggar in my loft 36 hours after setting trap (with peanut butter, crunchy type), and have now got rid of it and blocked up the hole to stop its mates getting in!.
Worth every penny - no more chewed light cables and loft beams!
Cheers P.

I have used three different traps over the years and yours is by far the best both in terms of how it operates and how it is made. Its a dream to use compared with the previous difficulties I have had with temperamental setting devices on other traps. I have now caught 11 squirrels in about 5 days! The detailed information leaflet you supply with the trap also contains very useful data which none of the other suppliers have provided.
Thank you for a very good product at a sensible price.

Hallo Trap man
I'm just sending you this quick e mail to thank you for your v quick service; the trap arrived as promised and before the Xmas break so I could get our resident squirrel used to it. After about a week, the squirrel trapped himself in it as his curiosity got the better of him. He doesn't live here anymore!
Thanks again. L J

Thank you for your exceptionally prompt and eficient service.
I had browsed your website thoroughly before placing my order and I was particularly impressed by the inclusion of a small number of dissatisfied customers on your feedback page. More than any other factor, this persuaded me that I should order the trap from your company, rather than one of yopur competitors. Your responses to these dissatisfied customers, coupled with the massive amount of extremely satisfied customers, indicated to me that your company was a reputable one.
The squirrel trap arrived the day after I had placed the order, just as you had promised. Since the infestation is in an utterly inaccessible part of my loft, I set it up the same evening at the closest possible location - which is about 10 feet away from the nest. Following your advice, I baited it with peanut butter, as well as a handful of dried cat food for added odour. Next evening, I had caught a very healthy, plump female squirrel. Never having seen an adult squirrel close-up before, I had not realised what attractive creatures they are - it is only a pity they do so much damage. I have now reset the trap, since I believe there are several more "just waiting their turn".
Although I noted from your feedback that your customers reported success within 24 hours, I was really rather dubious due to my particular circumstances. How pleased I am to have been wrong! I shall have no hesitation in recommending your company whenever appropriate and you are, of course, most welcome to use any part of this email as you may see fit. D B M W

Superb delivery time, many thanks. Squirrel sighted, trap set and first one caught within 20 minutes - brilliant. T H
