- In this video I am going to review the Rugged Ranch Squirrelinator Trap, the best squirrel trap in my opinion. It’s unbelievable effective.

I'm a little bit meaner ( or a lot ). AFter I catch them, I feed them corn muffin mix mixed with baking soda, make sure they've eaten some, and then just let them go while still in my backyard. They then expire in someone else's yard most of the time.
I love how the rabbit and the chicken stare at the trapped squirrels at the end lol
For those which don't want them coming back... that black tub is also for filling it with water and sticking the occupied cage in it.
Thank you for watching ! Yeah I figured it out too.
I caught several squirrels for a guy with a squirrel infestation, caught over a dozen, great video review.
Thank you 😊
Very helpful..! Thanks for posting..!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing your squirrel catching adventure.
You’re so cute, I wonder if they make a trap to catch you, I would take you to my house and release you there 😊HA HA !!
LOL maybe they are planning it !
WORKS GREAT. I BOUGHT IT WITH THE PLASTIC BIN. SUNFLOWER SEEDS WORK BEST. HELPING GREATLY TO GET THESE SQUIRREL RODENTS ELIMINATED.
Where can I get the plastic bin....I bought it without because I didn't know you needed it.
Buy plastic bin from same company. Now have caught 29 of the vermin !!!! Rodents!!!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to post this review. My experience wasn’t as good. I found that the young squirrels were easy to catch but after a while the “A team” moved in. These guys had been around. They would reach through the wire and hook out as much bait as they could but not go in. I then covered the trap with a finer mesh so the they would dig under the trap and get the bait from underneath. I tried covering the underneath with finer mesh but after that they just ignored the trap.
Thanks for the info! Oh these sneaky squirrels ! I bet the "A team" squirrels has many smart brains. I noticed some squirrels tried to dig under as well, but it seemed like eventually they all went in sooner or later.
These traps, as made, do not work for hybrid grey/red squirrels or red squirrels because the material used has too large a mesh. The squirrels simply squeeze back out. You would need to attach hardware cloth onto it.
Another trick is to place a piece of thick plastic or metal sheeting to cover the top and weight it down with a rock or brick. That way, they can't reach through the top to steal the bait.
I use a bird seed mix that has raisens and peanuts in it. I first make a depression in the ground where the center of the trap will be and then put a smal pile of the seeds there. I then make a trail of seeds from there out through the entrance door to the outside. Once one is trapped, others will follow because they are competitive for food.
I really wish they would improve these things. It would not take much to fix the flaw so they could catch and contain smaller squirrels. They also need to make the drowning pan 1 inch deeper. Some squirrels manage to stick their noses up through the top of the trap and stay alive.
Thank you for the very thoughtful comment ! Could it be a business opportunity that you would take your improved product to the market?
The pan could be for transporting.
New Sub my SQUIRRELINATOR came in today.... and its set
Welcome to my channel !
Thank you for such an informative vlog. Thank you also for taking the time to record the three going in and getting trapped securely.
My pleasure, I’m glad you found it helpful.
i realize it is kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?

@Ahmad Briggs thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it !!
@Frederick Maximiliano Happy to help =)
I found the best way is to spread some peanut butter around the door so when they lick the peanut butter, they find out that the door can be opened. Then, I put a peach in the middle of the cage and they will come inside. This is for grey squirrels. I can catch only one at at time but that’s good enough. I caught 26 in 3 weeks and my backyard is officially free of squirrels.
wow 26 that’s a lot of squirrels . Congrats on your squirrel free backyard :-)
Why only one at a time? The creators of this trap expect us to trap several. How long do you leave the one inside? Maybe leave it there longer? thanks
@@KingdomUploader This cage works better with ground squirrels which like to congregate in a small space (like they share the same burrow on the ground). I have grey squirrels (tree squirrels) which don't congregate. If one is caught in the cage, it will scare/fight others that try to come in. I've caught a double in this cage only once.
@@axscdvfb Thanks; i too have tree squirrels. I think i'll get a Tomahawk and tie it to the deck railing and just do the one at a time thing. Thanks again for making that clear!
@@KingdomUploader The Duke 1100 trap also works well for me.
Best squirrel trap out there. Regular havahart traps will catch squirrels but birds and other animals. Don’t like traumatizing birds so I gave this trap a try. Gotta say I bought it because I thought the name was funny but its a very effective trap catching sometimes 2 at a time and it never catches anything but squirrels.
Agreed. Thank you for watching !
I make my own traps. I catch everything!
Are these good for tree squirrels too which I think have going up my fruit tree? Are you still happy with it? I have a trap from HD but only caught one but he got away. So far no. My small rat cage caught 2 so far. I used peanut butter to some success. I also start with some dog food but might try sun flower seeds next.
I might try to
I am not sure if it’s also good for tree squirrels, we only have ground squirrels here. Yes, I am still happy with it. This summer we had some new squirrels digging around, we used this trap again and they were gone quickly. We used some mixed seeds ( salad topping I think )
These might be good on western ground squirrels, but I live in the north east, and encounter tree squirrels. Haven't found the Squirrelinator to be helpful against them. On the other hand, I had a chipmunk problem, and got a smaller Chipmunkinator at Tractor Supply. Caught 22 chipmunks over the course of 4 to 6 weeks. One day I caught 2 chippies, and then a grey squirrel came along and found his way in. I can testify they don't "play well" together. Looking for something that'll work well with red squirrels - maybe a conibear 110.
Haven’t thought about squirrelinator would work for one type of squirrel but not the other, but makes total sense. Thanks for sharing ! 22 chipmunks , wow !
@@FrantasticLifestyle use sunflower seeds they work best
Sadly, that square black tub or basin you can opt to buy along with the trap - and correct me if I'm wrong, is designed to fill with water, set the cage in and drown the critters to death. That right??? thanks
Yes just like the people sealed in 55 gallon barrels and dropped into the bottom of lake mead recently discovered this year. HORRIBLE things these humans do.

That was soo sweet!
I think you are right.
I was able to trap 7 squirrels in 3 days. I had to trap and rebait with each squirrel though because the squirrel inside would run toward the door and block entrance every time their friends came up to try to enter. I baited the trap with peanuts.
You said you had a link to your store to buy one?

Sorry I forgot the link, but here you go :)
I think the black bin is to fill with water if you know what I mean.
I think you are right !
I bought a squirrelinator last year and have never caught a squirrel. Then I bought a metal tube squirrel trap this spring and have still not caught a squirrel. They are decimating my fruit trees and nut trees.
Use gloves to avoid your scent on the traps...I heard it matters
22?
Interesting. I could never catch more than 1 at a time. The guy inside the cage must have telegraphed all too clearly to the others to not come in.
But it was quite a campaign. I live on a 1/4 acre lot in New England, with fairly thick trees. Had a looootttt of squirrels. This year I went on a mid-winter effort to get rid of them. I was told that the few weeks after Christmas is the best time, just before they breed. I caught about two dozen squirrels, one at a time. Unfortunately in my state you're not allowed to transport them for live release so I drowned them. To be honest I really didn't like that ... I never get the least bit anxious about anything, but I did with that. Something triggered me I guess. Anyhow, had to do it.
The amazing thing is how utterly effective the whole thing was. The yard is now barren of squirrels. Haven't seen a single one in weeks.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I was able to catch 2 or 3 each time when I set up the cage. Maybe it’s something about bait? I used peanuts and walnuts. Or perhaps the squirrels in your place is way smarter than our species? Which is very possible 😀
I've disposed of 470 grey squirrels in about 7 years using a Havahart model 1083 1 door EZ set trap.
Very easy to drop into a tropical fish tank.
the sqirrels have been eating my birds, with squirrelinator I only catch one at a time but have caught 7 in 7 days, I use hole peanuts from fleet farm , the birds have thanked me, and the DNR told me to not relocate because they will destroy the birds there
The squirrelinator is amazing :-D
I just buy one it's dose work
Thank you for watching! Yes it works like a charm.
In the UK the law says you catch them then you kill them. You dont free them.
I think in many U.S. cities the law is same ... thanks for watching :-D
What???
Yes, it really works !
You have mutant squirrels.
LOL I certainly do !
Please stop catching squirrels and relocating them.
Get a Havahart 1083 EZ set trap and dispose of them.
I have sent 470 grey squirrels to squirrel heaven in about 7 years.
Thank you for watching ! Yes I did find out this is the rule for many areas.
This is garbage. Mine has sat ignored by my squirrels. Loaded with peanuts for 5 days.
I am so sorry to hear it didn't work for you. Did you try to put some walnuts as well, maybe roasted walnuts ?
Try a handful of pecans.
Walnuts worked for me!
