Unlike single-catch cage traps that require constant monitoring and resetting, the Squirrelinator's large capacity and dual-door entry system let you tackle even severe squirrel infestations in a single day. No poisons, no harmful chemicals, no expensive baits required. Part of the Rugged Ranch family of multi-catch traps — trusted for over 15 years with hundreds of thousands sold and stocked in farm stores and retail outlets nationwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the Squirrelinator better than single-catch traps?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional single-catch cage traps catch one squirrel at a time and must be checked, emptied, and reset after each catch. If you have a dozen squirrels raiding your bird feeders, garden, or attic, that means a dozen trips. The Squirrelinator catches multiple squirrels in one session, saving you hours of work. Its large open-mesh design lets squirrels see other squirrels already inside feeding on bait, which actually attracts more squirrels into the trap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Squirrelinator work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace bait inside the trap — peanut butter, sunflower seeds, corn, or walnuts work best. Squirrels enter through the spring-loaded doors, which close behind them. The open wire mesh construction is critical: squirrels are social and curious animals, so when they see other squirrels eating inside the trap, they follow them in. This \"social lure\" effect is what makes multi-catch traps dramatically more effective than single-catch alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrap Only vs. With Basin — which should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTrap Only\u003c\/strong\u003e option ($74.95) is the complete trap ready to use. The \u003cstrong\u003eWith Basin\u003c\/strong\u003e option ($89.99) includes a fitted catch basin underneath that makes transport and cleanup easier — especially useful when relocating squirrels to a release site. If you're dealing with a large infestation, the basin is well worth the upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Squirrelinator multi-catch squirrel trap, fully assembled.
