Does this work on Grey Squirrels?

I don't know what a grey squirrel is, but it works great with 1 exception. If the squirrel is too small it can get out of the cage.

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.

Well, our Northern New York grey squirrels are crafty and large, and can reach the bait from the outside. So I use the Squirrelinator with modification of the bait area. I had to put 3-sided "covers" on the bait areas. I used the top of one of those plastic pastry containers from the bakery. I cut the top in half, making a top and three sides. Then I wired (twistem, pip cleaner) one over each bait area, with the opening an inch or so from the "solid" shield on the side of the trap. I slipped the bait--peanutbutter sandwich worked best--in and set the trap to catch the varmits. Good luck.

It will trigger on racoons I had it triggering on small rabbits, but I'm not sure if it triggers on squirrels and birds cause I haven't found any pictures of them on the camera.

I use mine to keep the moles away so I havev't been paying attention to the squirrels. If I had to venture a guess I would guess that it would work on ground squirrels, but not on tree squirrels.

Why would you ask me this? I tried the product and it didn't work. The squirrels were not the least bit put off.

You know, I feel that the best thing to do is to hire the band Ylvis and ask them to sing "what does the fox say?". The grey squirrels will want to chop themselves into bits after they hear the songs, and you will be squirrel free.

Works well on a vertical pole. It hangs loosely and the squirrels slide off if they manage to jump on it. It solved my squirrel and raccoon problem. Stabilization may be a problem horizonally.

It works on moles and gophers, since it's highly poisonous I would not leave it out so other animals can get in contact with it, if you to try it on ground squirrels I would push it as deep as possible into their borrow and cover with dirt, dogs can dig and get to it so if you have dogs be careful. I found the two best solutions for ground squirrels is barn cats and a 17HMR, the 17HMR is more for fun, the barn cats take very good care of all the vermin including moles, just feed the cats once a day just enough for them to stick around and the rest they get by hunting.

Unless you have GIANT grey squirrels this trap will work perfectly. I've used the two-door version but the single door version is much easier to set. Havaharts work great.

I can't answer that Karen. I use it for squirrels and it worked until it rained and I had to reapply.

I don't know it has not worked at all for me and I am returning the device.I have Deer, Turkeys, Quail and Squirrels around the device all the time so I don't know what it does..

John, If you purchase a properly working unit, yes it will work on squirrels. I had a Coleman brand that worked excellently on everything;birds,squirrels,cats and people. Yes, even people. The kids out in the alley could hear my unit and did not like it. You should be able to hear it with your human ears. If the Bird-X YG sound is LOUD enough, it should work on most critters. Test it on yourself. At full blast you shoud be able to hear it AND IT SHOULD IRRITATE YOU. If it irritates you, it WILL irritate them (squirrels)! My cat would take off flying when I turned it on in the house. I wish you the best.

I'm sorry to say it does not work for me. The squirrels hang from the bottom reach in and pull out pieces of suet. I blocked the bottom and so they reached in on the side and helped themselves. I read a lot of reviews before I bought it. It got great ratings so maybe my squirrels are just smarter.

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.

I have not used this with squirrels but if I have another issue with them chewing on my house I will. I think it's powerful enough to do the job. Hopefully you won't find the neighbor's cat inside.

For me, it didn't even stop the grey squirrels. They learned to stick their head through the landing bar and lean back against it to prevent it from coming down and shutting the seed cover. Then as they leaned back against the bar, they feasted on the seed with their free paws. It's also difficult to clean and is prone to water retention as some stated, leading to moldy seed. The best one I found is the roller feeder, which I have had for many years with no problem. It's also fun to watch the squirrel try and fly off when the feeder cover rolls. http://rollerfeeder.com/

It is large enough to trap a grey squirrel, I found that there is not enough room in back of trap for much bait. The trigger is to close to rear of trap.
