Title: Not Effective for Squirrels
Review: This trap has not been effective in catching a squirrel in my attic. While following instructions and baiting the trap with peanut butter and crackers, the trap has been cleaned of the bait on numerous occasions without tripping the door release.. There have also been three occasions when the bait was removed and the doors did trip shut, however no squirrel was captured.Even though this is advertised as a squirrel trap, apparently it does not work, unless the squirrel is small enough to get fully into the trap before tripping the release. I can only assume that the times the trap was tripped, the squirrel was able to hold the doors open with some part of his body while eating the bait. Very frustrating efforts over a two week period. I also had contacted Havahart and was using their suggestions for baiting the trap differently than called for in the instructions.. that didn't work either.I am planning to try a slightly larger trap (1079) based on reviews of that model.
Is the review positive or negative?
