You made a mistake you told us not to make, yet you openly admit and show us that you did. Most people would just edit that out, but not you. Respect👍, and I really like the channel.
Had 3 squirrels living in my attic. The day I watched this video,I bought the squirrelnator. Set the trap up lastnight,wake up this morning and all 3 are in the cage! Game over! Great product!
This trap is for people with a large property like a farm and/or an orchard who don't have time to keep driving their tractor over to check it. You could have done the same thing with a Havahart 1083 EZ-Set trap. Did you ever use this trap again ? I'm just curious.
@@ccdogpark my landlord is too cheap to fix the roof or even to fix the holes for that matter. The squirrels have chosen my attic as their spawn spot every year now. It gets a lot of action. Catch maybe 20-30 squirrels a year in it. Relocating the squirrels to a park 3 miles away.
The store I work for sells both, and every time we sell one, a week later we get raving reviews from them due to how well they work. We sell both Rat and Squirrel with the coupled basin buckets. And have even been shown personal images from a customer with 20+ in the rat version. I'll verify they work great for how simple they are. And a fun fact, the Rat and Squirrel trap work differently from one another, due how rats and squirrels interact with objects and such.
I like that you added your mistake. You're a genius at teaching or you're genuinely organic in your representation. Both are lovely. I thank you so much.
Hi Shawn, I own the RatInitiator. It works good for big rats and squirrels and has a trap door in the center to put the food. The only problem is, is that small rats and mice can fit through the cage. The mice would go into it and eat all the food in the food area and then leave the trap. also medium mice go in to the trap through the door and would try and wedge there bodies out of the cage and get stuck and die. Then I would have to cut them out which was not fun. I got tired of doing this so I wrapped the cage and tie wired 1/4" mesh grid fence on all sides and now I catch tons of Mice Rats and Squirrels. A lot of the times I catch all three. Since i did that its the only thing I use on the ranch and even better the food never gets eaten because they can not access it. I thought you would like this. I watch your videos all the time.
I struggled with these pesky critters for so many years! They always destroy my veggies patches and eat my fruit. I finally set this trap- squirrelinator, and boom! I am catching one every day. During the past 4 days I have caught 4 squirrels and ... one skunk... which I was able to relocate without being spayed- thanks for teaching me how to, you tube! Fantastic product, thank you!
3 weeks later "Today for mousetrap mondays I have a special video for you. Recently nocturnal pests have moved into my barn. They drink animals blood. They chew on wires and they destroy my heirloom tomatoes. Of course i am talking about vampires. Vampires are a huge menace and when they get into a barn They cause so much damage. So we will be using the Maskall deadfall mousetrap to catch these bloodsuckers. I want to have the last word on who drinks blood. Not the vampires. " (TBC next vid)
Anime Theory Oh Boy where to begin commenting on your comment! With all the trouble Shawn has been having I just hope that it gives him a very good laugh.
GreenAppelPie Didn't you see how careful Shawn was with that aggressive male squirrel? Hell I would have worn welding gauntlet gloves just for extra protection. I don't want to get bitten and I definitely wouldn't want to risk catching Rabies, would you?
I bought two of these. Squirrels were getting into my garage and damaging my cars. These traps do work as advertised :-) Though I'd suggest that you set it on a plywood base to keep the bait dry when the ground gets damp, and a plywood cover to keep the bait dry when it rains. The squirrels also have a tendency to push the trap around trying to escape, so put a lip or wood tabs on the plywood base and top...
Apparently they are different than tree squirrel. They live in or on the ground and tend to be bigger and have shorter tails. They are in the same family as prairie dogs . Source: Wikipedia
From observations around my yard one type nests in ground burrows (usually near nut trees--walnut or oak) often under clusters of rocks or in tall grass; the other type nest up in the trees. Seems they go for the same types of food, with the ground squirrels foraging produce falling from the trees, and don't seem to climb them.
Tried several methods on TH-cam, tried 20 mouth traps, non worked. Got this Squirrelinator from North 40 Outfitters, cheaper than Amazon, got on over night. I'm so happy! No assembly required, another fabulous feature, I used Honey Nut Cheerios as bates.
I got the model with the basin 2 days ago. So far, I have captured 9 squirrels!! After dealing with one this morning…I did not see any squirrels for the rest of the day. PS: Put some type of platform beneath the squillinator …because they will dig beneath it to get to the bait. The unit is fantastic!!!!
Bought this yesterday, baited as directed, the saw the squirrels sitting on top of the trap reaching through the wire to grab seeds. Now I’ve got to block the roof of the trap so they have to work around the sides and find the doors.
awe they're cute. My apartment complex has several. They clean up all of the acorns that fall around. Its funny when they freeze in place and think you cant see them
Are you kidding? Squirrels are bushy tailed rats.. A real nuisance... When I catch them, they die.. Tree hugger idiots, not to worry.. I throw them onto my brush pile and Mrs Fox comes by and takes them to her kits for lunch.. So, there is no waste and I keep them out of my garden and blackberry bushes..
Any good trap for squirrels getting into my attic? They are coming back every year. I have had to get a new roof many times already. We have fruit trees in our backyard which must be attracting them.
@@ccdogpark It worked great. Ground squirrels are the squirrels living underground like gophers, but a lot of faster and active. However when you use, please be sure the cover the top of the trap with something thick and dark, the squirrels will die of stress if they feel exposed in a matter of couple of hours.
Hey! Love your channel mate. Really interesting and informative! I personally like the old world designs from the 1800’s you were making before! Quick question: Did you bait this squirrel trap? Or was it just left in the open as such?
Dumb question: will this work for tree squirrels as well? Because I have squirrels that are eating my corn fields and I've not had much luck hunting them varmints lately.
We have an ongoing squirrel problem in our yard. We paid a wildlife trapping company $300 last year to help rid our rodent problem. All they did was bring a squirrelnator trap out and toss down some sunflower seeds as bait. It worked great and over 7 days we caught 10 squirrels. But this year, I’ve bought my own trap $40 and I can use it and reuse it anytime I see the squirrel problem getting out of hand.
I work as a wildlife control tech. Earlier this year I got called out to someone’s house because a skunk was caught in one of these. Luckily I was able to get it out without getting sprayed. That was a fun day.
I bought a Haveaheart one. The squirrel 🐿️ has some how figured out how to get the food bait and get out. I wake up every morning, the Door is closed and locked with the food gone. No squirrels caught 👎
Works very well for California ground squirrels! I use chicken scratch for bait. Chicken feed is Very cheap and does not stink, or decompose quickly. Caught three the fist day. I recommend. It. And it looks like it will Last.
Andy Kidwell they are ground squirrels. I believe he’s in Oregon. Our family shoots them for a bunch of ranchers in Nevada, they make big holes and ruin alfalfa fields. And their holes cause huge problems with cattle.
I would love to see a side by side of the Squirrelinator and the Ratinator. I see only a couple of differences namely the number of doors and the feed box from pictures. I got the Ratinator earlier this year and am pretty happy with it. The plates that protect the handles sure are nice because some of those rats are very aggressive. I caught a few big ones that had become trap shy of my tomcat style snap traps. Thanks for the testing these for us.

I lost it when those squirrels started paying attention to shawn’s explanations 😂😂😂
That's how cool Shawn is. :D
vojtasjedyny haha yes
I bet the squirrelinator would work for the barn rats...
yeah he should definitely try that, only problem is that the rats my start killing eachother inside the trap
@MrTDS and that would be a problem how?
Not a problem by itself, but not very youtube friendly for Shawn i imagine
MrTDS 😂😂😂
Only for the big ones. The gap between the wires would allow anything small to escape easily!
whew those paid actor's been eating good
Mr SS *actors
Mr SS Yeah that Angry Male squirrel was pretty buff and showing signs of Roid Rage.
The Squirrel trap is the actor

Anime Theory Let's wait for October.
Anime Theory Good joke
Works great. Sunflower seeds work best for me.
Good video thanks Shawn. I've seen other vids on this trap but it's always nice to see a trap put through it's paces by an expert.
I wonder how many bites cause them to put the metal plate near the handles 😂😂😂
I really don’t think those are necessary.
GreenAppelPie if you have an aggressive or rabid squirrel it would be necessary
GreenAppelPie Didn't you see how careful Shawn was with that aggressive male squirrel? Hell I would have worn welding gauntlet gloves just for extra protection. I don't want to get bitten and I definitely wouldn't want to risk catching Rabies, would you?
I have a friend that his dog is missing an eye because he got too close to one of those aggressive squirrels.
Hum alpha male squirrels are terrible
The awesome part is that it also doubles as a grill basket. Once you catch 'em, just toss it on the fire. No preparation required.
laughing and how terrible at the same time
Is that Squirrelinator an invention of *doofenshmirtz* ? Hmm.
In before the squirrels were members of the OWCA
Great vids bro!
Shawna: "Jerry, don't come in here because I can't get out. Jerry, don't come i.....awww, Jerry, you came in."
I am ordering this today....with the water tub accessory.
I bought two of these. Squirrels were getting into my garage and damaging my cars. These traps do work as advertised :-)

That was so funny how the squirrels were politely letting you do your review with out making noise or running around. They were very attentive 🤣
What was the bait used? I have a whole garden of tulip bulbs, and these buggers love those, but I don't want to sacrifice more bulbs!
50 views and 45 comments. You have some loyal fans Shawn! Keep up the good work!
Great video but what are you using for bate?
Doofenshmertz: THE SQUIRRELINATORRRR

It's a trap!
Whose complaining?
omg LOL
"Dealing with them." LOL. Love the euphemism.
Works great. 17 so far. Will keep using this forever. Great device.
You should show how a scoped 10/22 can take care of the ground squirrel problem
I use a scoped Marlin 22 WMR ... the little buggers just explode ...
Thank you Shawnye, very cool!
What is a "ground squirrel"? Is there any difference between a ground squirrel and the gray squirrels that eat nuts, corn, tree fruit, etc.?

Another great video Shawn 👍
This looks better than the bigger, more clumsy havahart that only catches one. And it is low and wide for stealthy operations.
I caught a squirrel with a Havahart and the darned thing got OUT of the trap. :(

somebody should send some of these to idubbbz
love your work shawn
What bait is best to use?
My girl says I was getting a little squirrelly last night.
Now she wants to order one! Great job, Shawn!
I bought one after watching your video (used your link to Amazon) caught 6 squirrels in 3 days. The birds thank you.
This resembles the grill for barbecuing. Use the other piece for charcoal. Well, it could also be used for deep frying.
Keep up the great work .. love your shows
Shawn, I've watched a few of your videos. What do you use for bait for squirrels?
I have at least five baby ground squirrels in my yard, I cannot wait to try this out. It will be delivered TOMORROW!
How did this work for you ?
Were you referring to grey squirrels ?

This trap is fabulous. 5 squirrel in 2 days I wish I had this thing 2 months ago. Best gadget ever.
As always Shawn, great video.
The squirrels he caught as a double were looking at him like they were hanging on every word he said.
The Shadow where he walks towars the trap and the Squirrel was so scared. Reminds me of Attack on Titan 😂.

Love the fact that u admit your mistakes and nvr edit out faults in your vidoes.
Hello, any updates on the Ratinator trap? Really interested to see it but couldn't find a video on your channel
What do you bait it with
I bought a Haveaheart one. The squirrel 🐿️ has some how figured out how to get the food bait and get out. I wake up every morning, the Door is closed and locked with the food gone.
No squirrels caught 👎
What you guys use for bait? Mine so far haven’t touched the mixture of nuts.
2:37 - don’t care for springs - I have a HAVaHART trap ;
and it is impressive how hard squirrels will slam their body against the door .
Works very well for California ground squirrels! I use chicken scratch for bait. Chicken feed is Very cheap and does not stink, or decompose quickly. Caught three the fist day. I recommend. It. And it looks like it will Last.
The squirrelinator sounds like an invention Doofenshmirtz would come up with.
Nice. Great idea.
Wouldn't this be good food source for hawks and owls? They protect garden right?
I’ve only caught two at a time at most. Used shelled peanuts 🥜 for bait one and the just scooped them up from the top of the trap.
How did they get a picture of you to put on the box?
You should try posting a squirrel hunting video
Instantly demonetized from triggered people. LOL.
G_W_ chinchillamaster - I didn't realize squirrels go hunting /s.
I would happily pay for that. Those damned tree rats make a beeline to my porch.
that would be a worthwhile video, especially if were talking 1900fps plus.
Funny looking squirrels. What part of the country is this filmed in?
Andy Kidwell they are ground squirrels. I believe he’s in Oregon. Our family shoots them for a bunch of ranchers in Nevada, they make big holes and ruin alfalfa fields. And their holes cause huge problems with cattle.
Natalie Cassel I'm in Maine and our squirrels look nothing like that. Thanks for the reply.
