Hey I watched the video on your website. I'm so curious. What was that squirrel doing with his dead friends??
Shawn, I cannot find the A18 on your website.
@@laurakiser5527 I need it too!!! 👀👀
Da fuq where’s the link ya dork
BUT WHY DIS IS JUST KILLING NATURE I HATE YOU
"I'm sure squirrels will love it"
Yeah, it's gonna blow their mind
Or their head
This trap has really gone to their heads!
Delightfully devilish
Lol
There head would be like a flat earth
lol that mouse probably exploded when he triggered that bolt
That was so overkill. Lmao!!!
I watched the NSFY video. The mouse actually came out in one piece to my surprise.
i was like "NO DON'T GO IN THERE"
No, they just had post mortem spasms, imagine a seizure, they shake, their tail flies around, I only made it to the second squirrel, because that one while having the spasms, it’s head started leaking.
I didnt feel bad until that last squirrel came to bury his whole family.
Hey Shawn,
Great news, the A18 is finally available for purchase in North America!
We’ve made small changes to what the kit includes and will get you a sample for testing as soon as possible.
Put my pre-order in. The a24 failed to do the job when I set it here. Will restore my faith in this if it works. Might even order a couple more.
I just pre ordered one. We have a chestnut orchard, and we are losing more crop every year to squirrels. Something has to slow them down.
Just ordered!!! WooHoo!
@@cristianavila955 Please let us know how its gone once you've had time to test out the product!
@@Qingeaton Would love to get your feedback once the product is deployed and in action :)
5:56 this thing can shrink mice’s size which is cool.
Magic
😂
So you're telling me that this thing can help my pet mice lost its weight?
Just like super mario
@@Wiertelus Yup!
With all his traps, I'm surprised that Shawn still has some rodents left
He must import them....
His place is the most popular rodent place in the vicinity. They are all dying to get in...
Well, if he gets them all, his channel is basically over. I'm sure he's careful about the numbers he harvests.
He feeds them
Ebay
Just when I thought the most shocking part of that video was the second squirrel's blood-soaked death throes, in comes another squirrel to *_feast on his flesh._*
I don't know wth was going on there. I didn't think squirrels were meat eaters.
When was that at?
Zak MacKay the uncensored footage is on his website, check the top comment for the link
The spasms you see aren't death throes. The squirrel is already dead. What you see is the energy stored in the corpse's muscles discharging. "Helicopter tail" is the sign of a good clean kill.
Also, these squirrels are cannibalistic, but half the time they attack a dead mate it's either an attempt to start a mating ritual, or territorial aggression.
@@JM-fh1tv Thanks, I learned something new today. I never knew that.
Incredible it doesn't bother them having dead bodies lying around!
hmm a lot of dead squirrels around her... hey whats in that hole thing
Short answer: They're rodents.
one squirrel even moves the dead bodies around
Squirrels don’t care about that, the only thing on their minds is either food or mating
Actually, after a while, they became more interested in canibbalising the other corpses than the trap in the NSFY version
That opossum is me when someone makes chicken wings during the day and I decide to snack on them at 3 am in the morning when everyone else is asleep.

he watches a fair amount of shawn woods actually

Save the squirrels not KILL the squirrels! Also, was anyone else as surprised as I was that there are squirrels living in the MOUTH OF HELL?
@@kellyshea92 Its the American way
@@geyotepilkington2892 Yes. I've never seen squirrels live under a driveway. Maybe they were just checking it out. Either way, they're evolving and I'm glad Shawn is here to save us all.
I am glad you didn't stick your finger in there this time. Big Mama is eating for two, maybe three or four. LOL
There could be 8 or 10 in the pouch right now
I don't want to see Shawn hurting himself again 💥💥💥 🕊🕊🕊
I killed one in my brothers chicken coop that had 11 in its pouch
what animal is big mama?
@@jheboii12051986 an opossum
Now they have to make one for dealing with perverts, spies, stalkers and home invaders.
Remington model 870
I love that they don't even care that their squirrel fam is dead. They're just like, "mmm, food!" as they step over the body lmao!
Guess I've been watching you for a while. Thought this was a reupload for a moment.
Same
@ 0:50 "This trap may look familiar"
yup, a similar one has been shown before but this is a slightly larger version.
freedustin we know we were just saying from the thumbnail/start of video it felt like a reupload
It is I swear he uploaded the same thing
@@basstion4146 no. The other one was a24 this is a18
Did anybody else think the thumbnail had a picture of a squirrel climbing on some dank weed lol
That squirrel is high asf 😂😂😂
Why do you think he is trying to kill them
Lol. Dude u funny. 420 420
Shawn wasn't kidding when he said the full version is graphic. This is probably the most brutal trap he's featured on his site. So much blood
where is it?
Where is it 😥
I can't even tell you how many things I've bought as a result of your videos! Thanks!
That mouse is probably a mouse pancake now
ClogNog lmao that’s what I was thinking
Hope he gets to eat pancakes in heaven
@@Felisargyle all heaven goes to pancake
The only pancakes they have are mouse cakes
watch the video on his site. only it's head is a pancake.
This looks like a squirrel hunter's dream. People around where I live love to hunt and eat squirrels.
Nothing calms my anxiety down more than the sight of an opossum feeding on the carcasses of rats and squirrels
Imagine getting killed by a squirrel trap with a stat tracker
It'd be like me trying to play Battlefront.
Titanfall 2 weapon regeneration
Them stats are important. What's your highest score ?
Never forget when Shawn said “Mmmmm rat balls”
But that vid got age restricted by the one and only TH-cam.
Thanks snowflakes. You've been satisfied, now please piss off our rodent annihilation plans.
I'm surprised that you didn't taste the bait. Looked so good! ;)
The A24 seems to work really well on the smaller ground squirrels and chipmunks. I've never really had any issues with Grey Squirrels.
LMFAO.
I like how the squirrels are like couple dead bodies right here not a big deal
Enjoyed watching the Opossums cleaning up the remains. Sometimes our cat brings us a bird or rodent but never actually eats them. Thanks to the night animals, the remains are always gone the next morning. They will also clean up chicken bones and the remnants of a turkey after Thanksgiving. Opossums are wonderful scavengers.
And they don't carry rabies!
It’s not much but it’s honest work. That’s the vibe I get from this channel
5:41 'Hmm, two decapitated squirrel corpses, I'd better be on my guard - Ooh, I smell hazelnuts!'
I've never heard of this trap thank you for sharing!
Squirrels, like mice, don’t seem to mind climbing over piles of their dead comrades to get into a trap.
Of course, a couple of these seem to prefer dining on their dead brethren instead of the bait.
Lol 7.25 “picking the bones clean” I’m dead🤣🤣
7:24
“Any request for your last meal, Mr. Squirrel?”
“A good smack of the Grey Squirrel Toxin-Free Lure, if that’s not too much trouble.”
“Coming right up!”
That kind of freaked me out on the uncensored
Hi Shawn, I have one of these and still have it in the box until needed... is the new one physically larger than the original, or is it just made with stronger ram material? Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend! My target is the RED -squirrels that kill birds, eat eggs and run off our gray and fox squirrels. You're right, they eat through the walls of my outbuildings very fast. Time to stop that. All the best.
It is somewhat bigger but a lot stronger
Fancy seeing you here fred lol👋
@@beefcurtains6691 I could say the same :) !!!
I see your comments on Jack Stauber songs, looks like we share similar interests at least a little more than I thought.
Red Squirrels eh! Red squirrels are natives in the British isles, mostly found in Scotland and north England and were protected by British law because the red squirrels were a rare breed. Grey squirrels were the real pest in the UK and Ireland, invading red squirrel's territories in much of England and Wales in the past.
I think it’s good that you are careful to obey the hunting and trapping laws.
Me to
Shawn your videos are always top notch and very relaxing. One of my favorite channels of all time and Ive never even needed to kill a pest in my life
Leave some powder on your floor and bench tops and you may change your mind in the morning when you see little foot prints.
@@markfryer9880 Luckily there are no wild pests where I live!!
I saw the video on your website, it was strange how the 4th squirrel removed the dead bodies of the 3 dead ones, an interesting behavior for sure
yeah was what that all about
@@QuestionsAnswerz Cannibalization. They're rodents after all, so it makes sense. They eat meat too. "Rats with good PR" as someone once called them.
@@TeaBurn i used to have that kermit drinking tea meme back in the day. Glad u bringing it back
Tea Burn rats with fewer plagues maybe.
Was the video removed?
Well done Shawn for looking after the local wildlife.
Now that trap is unreal. I may need to get this one. Super effective!
Big Mama even saved you the trouble of censoring her meal by putting it behind the rock. She's a real character!
It almost looks like you hired the last squirrel to clear the camera view lol, nice vid Shawn!
Squirrel: Why are there so many dead squirrels around? Well, anyway, that smells good...
Should be called the squirrel breakdancing machine
brian griffith
😂 More like squirrel BREAKING machine
Lol the jokes 😂
The raw footage is epic. You gotta love a self cleaning trap!
Except for the blood trails, that is.
@@russiane.lection-hacker2057 Gives it character.
How cute. The squirrel's gave each other a goodbye kiss. Nice knowing you. Lol
Shame on TH-cam for giving you strikes for showing video that's not even gruesome. No blood or gore. They show much, much worse - refusing to allow your video content shows how out of touch with reality they are. Much appreciation for showing all the various ways of getting rid of disease carrying vermin.
Website video is what to watch! Thanks for leaving a link for the actual footage 👍
I watch the TH-cam videos so you get the view count, and to leave a thumbs up! Cheers
Wheres the link
@@jamess3417 see top comment
Yea side vid is absolute bloody devastation! Have not seen a video like that from him. Sorry, but that's what I come here for 🤔🙃
Weirdos
Why are they shaking so violently before dying? I thought this trap is a clean instant kill.
Thanks for showing exactly how this works. This is a very informative and entertaining video.
This is what Mark Rober needs
Love your vids. Also the fact that the stuff you cant show is on your website. Dont listen to the ones who are too lazy to go off youtube. Love it
I was wondering if there is any news on if/when the A18 might be available in the U.S.? ....and how you obtained a copy to test?
They start shipping the end of this month.
Why did “Toxin free lure” make me laugh so much
Shawn Woods makes a trap for squirrels:
Mark Rover:...”And I took that personally”
I watched the vid on your site and the thing that startles me the most is learning that squirrels are omnivores.
That mouse had to be totally destroyed.
Absolutely shrekt
Paste? A mouse smoothie?
I checked out the video on his website that tiny mouse was obliterated like hittin a mosquito with a 5 pound hammer
No. It made it out in one piece
B I N K
Very good machine! After all the damage which I have suffered with rodents to my equipment in storage, few things make me feel better than seeing them killed in these traps. Thanks for the weekly videos!
Sean: I'm sure the squirrels are going to love it.... Well probably not 😂😂😂
My mom has been complaining to me about a squirrel in her yard for a while now. I'm going to surprise her with this.
So, I'll avoid going into detail to avoid bruising anyone's delicate sensibilities :) but on the version on the web site... I was not expecting that live squirrel towards the end (the unharmed one) to do what it did to the now deceased squirrels. I'd expect that from a mouse or a rat, but never imagined that squirrels would eat another squirrel. (Or at least appear to)
Yea, that happens. We had to get squirrels out of a house once, and one of the dead squirrels froze right in the hole. The other squirrel chewed a hole right through his body to get out. I'm pretty sure he didn't just spit it out.
most rodents are cannibalistic and will eat meat, although sporadically
Whoa
Squirrels are known to prance around near birds and simply act harmless and then strike days or even weeks later and kill and devour even quite large birds like seagull and geese. Very dangerous and aggressive animals if you are under 10lbs and aren’t an active predator yourself. They also habitually dine on carrion and are often cannibalistic. Skugs.
They're just rats with fuzzy tails. Nasty!!!
Rats: hey I’ve seen this one
Squirrels: what do you mean it’s brand new
That looks like it works so well!!!
2:22
Rat trap guy: Im sure the squirles are going to love it
Me: if they survive they will definetly love it.
Whether I saw a hero carrying wounded fellas away from the battlefield, whether it was some act of squirrel cannibalism. Or zoo-zoophilia.
ouch!@Paolo G
@Paolo G HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH yean i think he wanted to have sex with the dead bodies
Seeing as they followed themselves towards death....."Oh Fred's having a lie down, I'll eat the Hazelnuts instea'''......bang, I wouldn't assume great intelligence
(Blood in the background)
“The a 18 trap performed flawlessly”
“And BAM, it will get em”
A well deserved meal for that scarred Mama.
I live in the U.S. I tried to buy the A18 but was not allowed to purchase it. I tried to order it from the U.K. website, and was not allowed to purchase it. I finally ordered it from the U.K. website and had it shipped to my son in the U.K., who was not allowed to ship it to me because of the CO2 cartridges (under pressure) and bait (organic material).
The only way I could get it was to have my son carry it from the U.K. on his last trip to the U.S.
Not a good buy, as of 2021.
Why do you say not a good buy? Just beause of how hard it was to get?
wait, that doesnt make sense. why would the c02 cannister be illegal to ship when the A24 is sold with the c02 cannister to US reisdents with no issue? There has to be something else at play thats the reason they wont ship the A18
A good place to mount this would be on a wood bird feeder post. They will get attracted by the bird feeding activity.
Good idea but only if it’s legal to trap squirrels where you live.
A very helpful video, thank you. Goodnature should give you a commission!
Squirrels keep chewing through my trash bins to get at the garbage bags. I like to let them be, but they do destroy your property. I live in a townhouse community. My neighbor had squirrels in the walls of their house. We discovered they chewed a hole right below the roof in the rear side of the house. It was an expensive job to get them removed and repair the damage. I've been concerned my house may be next. The A18 may be a viable solution for me to prevent future damage. Thanks for showcasing this one, Shawn.
Very quick and clean kill.
I am surprised they are not vegetarian
I'm guessing the makers of the A24 caught wind of your review displaying a squirrel kill with their trap and made the A18?
I took a bunch is squirrels off my parent’s property with a .22. New ones always came in to replace the ones that that I shot. Turns out they’re very territorial-about 3 mating pairs per acre if I recall-and there are always others nearby.
I've been watching this channel for so long I thought this was a reupload
(goes to website... sees video)
I guess that 4th squirrel was named Alfred? Because he was really packin it in!
This seems the best trap for rats, they seem to very cautious of other traps whereas here they didn't even think about it twice and stuck their heads in.
Yet on the manufacturers video they show just how cautious rats can be, checking out the trap multiple times before setting it off. They are very suspicious of new things in their environment.
With squirrels, I found that a .22 along with some cream of mushroom soup and a slow cooker worked wonders.
that video was freakin awesome thank u for showing the possum feeding her jaws are so powerful for a little fela! she wanted that fatty nutrient dense bone marrow
"this is like beheading a chicken" More like No country for old men execution by watching the full clip, damn.
After seeing how long each critter thrashes around after it's been hit, I don't think it's a humane, painless way to kill vermin.
@@purplealice they are most definitely dead, It's just the nervous system freaking out and firing pulses making the muscles spasm, but the organism can't even comprehend that It's alive anymore
It sure seems to take them a long time to stop moving.
@@purplealice yea, there's still oxygen in the cells, so they keep firing for about a minute
@@purplealice just because they moved doesn't mean they're alive.
How did you manage to buy the A 18? Goodnature’s website isn’t set up for sales to the US. I really need this.
It doesn’t appear to be authorized for sale in the US
Im trying to find one. Have bad squirrel problems
“I am sure the squirrels are gonna love it “ lmao some dark humor
Intelligent pest control is just plain right :D You sure get my vote.
Thank you Shawn again! Are your family is good or better after that horrible crash?
If you showed (were allowed to) the original footage I wouldn't mind. If you showed the advertiser friendly footage, doesn't bother me either way. I don't need to see the gory detail, seen a chicken run around once, you've seen it 1000 times.
I'm still glad that you make the original footage available.
5:30
Squirrel: You okay? You haven’t moved in a while buddy.......... nah it’s probably nothing
Really insensitive
Imagination is such a beautiful thing! Thanks for posting.
Shawn be like: _Bam bam bam_
Why does it seem like the A24 is stronger though? Although the A24 was originally meant for rats, it certainly seemed to put a squirrel out a lot quicker. I checked out the graphic footage, and found that the A18 (which is meant for squirrels!) seemed to leave them struggling a lot more than the A24. Great vid either way!
Yeah, squirrels are a nucense here, they get on our bird feeder normally, usually the chipmunks we worry about digging in the garden. I usually mix red pepper flakes and seeds to keep the squirrels off the feeder cuz i don't want to kill them. Birds love the pepper but squirrels hate it (you have to use hot peppers). Chipmunks we haven't really dealed with yet, but aye that's what they do.
I was worried for a minute that you were gonna leave it in the woods lol
These traps are amazing
The A-18 is “coming soon”. Unavailable to buy right now at their website. I’m looking forward to buying this trap. I wish I could get it right away.
Who looks forward to killing squirrels?
@@weisenupTV those plagued with em,
invading their attics etc, garages, nuisance
Hey Shawn, what is the best trail camera you have found? Thanks!!!
5:57 That rat looked like it deflated into a smaller rat lol
I tried this trap and I would caution viewers that while ground squirrels are very similar in appearance to eastern gray squirrels they are different in behavior. I had some eastern gray squirrels that were tearing up my house and they would not stick their head inside the trap. They would eat the peanut butter just below the mouth of the trap but would not venture to put their head inside to get the peanut butter, peanuts, and sunflower seeds inside the bait station. They go crazy for that combination so I know they want it. Their little tails will go crazy because they want it so bad but they wouldn't put their head inside. It's a shame because I really wanted the trap to work. The Automatic Trap Company was awesome though and they have a 30 day money back guarantee so they refunded me when I sent it back. I ended up buying a Forestry Suppliers (Rust-Resistant) Tube Trap and that worked fantastic with a little peanut butter smeared above the trigger pan. I got all the squirrels right before Shawn ended up reviewing it on this channel. Both traps are great so if you try the A18 / A24 and it doesn't work then definitely give the Tube Trap a try.
It is unfortunate that the trap didn't work for you, but full credit for the supplier standing by their 30 guarantee. They make a great trap and sound like good people to deal with which speaks volumes these days..
@@JM-fh1tv They were chewing the structural trusses and damned near everything else they could in the attic. They almost chewed their way out of the ridge vent before I got rid of them, which would have been an incredibly costly repair, especially since the roof is only two years old. They may look cute but they are extremely destructive.
BIG TIME !! they'll chew wiring in eaves or attics right down to the copper..then your house catches n fire... If you want proof I can send you images
That Siver Grey squirrel is a handsome beast.
I agree, they're quite handsome, a lot more interesting looking than the common gray squirrel.
Q: Dude why was that squrirrel dragging his friends?
A: I looked it up, they are cannibals...
Shawn it was great
Just like Christmas opening that A18 box
Great vid so many one liners and Shawnisms😂
I know that with the knowledge I gain from your vids I know which type of traps to use well not me now but for me in the future
I’ve seen this advertised on “Automatic trap company” channel and none of the kills were censored. typical youtube fair play.
These squirrels really have their head in the game.
