Is this unit powerful enough to penetrate through ceiling and walls and be able to get rid of squirrels in between?

So if you have squirrels nesting in a 2nd floor bedroom walls & ceiling using this device in the room will not work?

We have had one for about a year. I'm not convinced it has been very effective at all. Had great expectations but ended up having to hire a professional exterminator.

I can't answer that - all I can tell you is that we had a bat in the house - and after installing it on the first floor - no more bats. We hung it at an angle so that the sound bounces off the floor and walls and ceiling.

No. It needs a clear shot in order to work. But it has a very long throw and is extremely effective.

I don't know. I only have one unit that I keep on my back porch & it works great keeping the squirrels off the porch. Hope to be getting a unit some time soon for my attic.....I'm just waiting for my son to put a plug up there!

I have mine on top of a freezer on a back porch and it appears to have gotten rid of the squirrels in the ceiling. I believe it would be powerful enough to do what you want. I don't have any wide-open areas such as an open attic, but I would think it would work as well as it has for me on my back porch. You may be to move it around to get to specific areas, but that's my assessment.

this unit was unable to prevent a mouse from sitting on top of it. a complete waste of money

Yes, certainly on the loudest setting. It drove a squirrel out of the walls for us in no time flat. We aimed it at the area and put it pretty close to the wall. Of course, you won't be able to stand the noise yourself, so we turn it on when we're leaving. Also, we find that multiple units are necessary for good coverage, otherwise the critters just move to another part of the house.

this is what it does to squirrels out of a crossman 1377@650ish fps. http://tinypic.com/r/25ast1z/8

I mounted it on the ceiling and it penetrated to the second floor with good signal. I love mine. The middle floor would be the best because it would penetrate upper and lower. BTW remember you need a POE Injector unless you have a POE Switch.

No. You'll need something with more power than this. It's very weak and your typical rodent will giggle at its output.

Of course it would!!! Why not!!???? People put these in their homes around children and obviously humans!!! The goal of the product is to keep squirrels and other pests away from the family home and animals!!! It is very safe!!!

It will work, as long as you have a clear shot through a window or something (I broadcast hundreds of feet away without a problem). Trying to go through walls impedes it's abilities greatly. You only need one. By the way, the higher you have it, the better.

I guess it would. You can only give it a try. Those squirrels are smart crafty little things. They really like to figure things out. I love watching them.

If it eats it I am sure it will kill it. I would put it along a wall where the insulation is disturbed or where the squirrel is coming in, if you know. Otherwise you could set a few out on any floorboards you have up there. FYI: squirrels are very persistent once they have made their way inside.Make sure you don't have anything else around for them to eat that would make them hang around. eg: birdseed

It does kill squirrels. A huge one got into my trap and was killed, even though he was only partly able to fit inside. So I am trying to minimize the space accessible into the opening of the trap to hopefully prevent this from happening again. I only hope a cat never tries to get in there. These traps are real zappers.

No, I don't think it would kill a squirrel. Not enough power behind the shot.

Yes I love it!!- no problems out of it!- protect the wires or the squirrels will chew them

If I remember correctly, I don't think it can go through walls, needs to be an open space. So, I'd check the specs before buying.

I would not use this for an up close attempt to kill a racoon. This air rifle will handle squirrels, rabbits and maybe even a small possum with a well placed shot. Racoons are bigger, thicker skinned and mean as hell.

Only if they come within 3 or four feet of the front of this devise. I would not recommend it for squirrels

Cathy, I just don't know. I think it is possible that it would hurt them. I have it set up in my basement and have never had a problem with squirrels there. Good luck. You might be able to create a "door" on the front of the Zapper, that would prevent larger animals from entering, but allow mice to get in.

It should, but on hot days I'd recommend opening it. That might let the squirrels in. It doesn't have a natural vent opening, but you could probably make one.
