I would just like to thank you for your help and advice about your traps. We. had two traps out for eight months and only caught two squirrel, as they were really hard to set won’t mention the make. I swapped over to yours and caught four squirrels in three days , as they are so easy to set and with your advice about baiting. The KS very much would highly recommend these traps to anyone. Thanks Mark.

I bought a squirrel trap from you on 2 January 1981 – invoice No. ******.
After a few false starts, we caught our first squirrel and 4 more over the last 3 weeks. Very successful.
However, we now have a problem. The birds have got wise to all this and the small ones ( blue tits ) now get straight through the mesh at the back and sides and steal every nut we put in – without springing the trap. Short of wrapping the whole trap in fine chicken wire, we cannot bait the trap now and the squirrels ignore it.
Any suggestions please ?
Many thanks,
R D

I received the squirrel trap yesterday and am very pleased with the quality. It is of a much higher standard than I was expecting.
Certainly a 5 star product.
The explanation on your web site concerning the trap and the legal requirements about usage were very comprehensive.
I have lost a number of bedding plants which have been dug up when peanuts have been planted and crocus corms have provided the pests with healthy meals!
Now to go hunting.
Thanks for the service,

Incidentally I said “very effective squirrel trap”, I trapped 25 grey squirrels within 3 months. Over the years it has trapped around 50!

Dear Trapman,
Last backend we purchased a squirrel trap from you as we regularly had 1 or 2 squirrels in our garden taking large quantities of the bird food.
We had even seen 3 at once. Since receiving the trap we have caught and dispatched 15 squirrels. Thank you very much, your trap is very effective.

Dear Mr Trapman, Hi, it’s R again.
Just a couple of things:- 1/ The number has gone up from 15 to 17.
2/ When we started we got through a jar and a half of peanut butter with no joy.
When we started baiting with sunflower seeds we had success.
I put a pile behind the tread plate,(never mind if a few spill out) and then sprinkle a few the length of the trap and put a few outside the gate.
I find early morning is the time they come, first light, and try to make sure they don’t remain in the trap many minutes.
One thing that helps us is that our garden is like a forest, planted before we bought it.
Regards, R

Hi,
I just thought you’d like to know that I set the 2 squirrel traps that I bought from you to control grey squirrels stripping bark, killing trees, in a small wood that I planted 10 years ago; Within 24 hours I’d caught my 1st grey squirrel. Brilliant!
Many thanks,
Tim

Just a note to say that I’m very impressed with the quality and performance of both the squirrel cage trap and the Fenn trap cage – I caught one in each within about half an hour this afternoon.
The Fenn cage is particularly good because it gets a clean kill every time. I have been using the Fenn in a tunnel trap but it doesn’t always kill cleanly. This design of cage is a great improvement on the tunnel.
Kind regards

Hi
I recently bought a squirrel trap from you and just wanted to say how pleased I am with it. Every day that I set it and leave it out I trap a squirrel without fail. I have even caught two in one day. It seems they can’t resist sunflower hearts and hanging around near our bird feeding stations. As we are overrun with grey squirrels here I have just ordered another trap. Thanks for such a great product.
