Set this out in my utility room at 10:30 am. Baited the trapwith peanut butter (crunchy). Had my chipmunk trapped and outsideby 10:45. Amazing.

I took it out of the box, stuck some peanut butter on it, and stuck a couple bricks on top of it to keep it stable. I caught a chipmunk living under our house within 1 day of setting the trap out with a spoonful of peanut butter stuck on the ramp. I relocated him 5 miles away in the woods. I know people say chipmunks may not live when relocating them because they lose their food stored in their tunnels, but I believe it is better than flat out killing them. It at least gives them a chance. The trap worked perfectly. I did not paint mine green or anything and it worked fine. It also looks like it will last a long time as long.

Squirrels are very clever. When the 'see' a wire mesh cage they do not go in. The cage that has two trap doors so the squirrels can see clear to the other side whould have been able to trap better than the one-door model. The squirrels around my yard constantly bumped my trap and knocked the seeds (sunflower) out of the pan and out of the trap. They had a wonderful breakfast at my expense, the little buggars!

Its a good safe product for humanely trapping rodents. Its very difficult and finicky to set though and ensuring that its set properly is time consuming

The trap trigger catch is poorly designed and manufactured. Any animal can easily trip the trap without even trying to.

Just used peanut butter and pear slices and in 2 hours had my squirrel! With the instructions and alittle trial and error was able to set the hair trigger trap in 2 or 3 minutes. Left the squirrel with a pile of popcorn in his new home which he ignored and made it to the first tree at about 62 miles per hour! Read the reviews for the cheaper ones and went up a couple of steps-good decision. Would be 5 stars except rhat it seems over-priced for what you get but IT WORKS, so many things these days don't really work as advertised but this does. Definitely recommended.
