Review: The Black Hole for Pesky Squirrels & Chipmunks - This black Squirrelinator trap is basically a tiny maximum-security prison that squirrels walk right into and then immediately regret. Humane catch-and-release design, but the squirrels look like they just got served divorce papers when you check it. Works ridiculously well for chipmunks and tree rats. Pros: • Squirrels literally line up to get caught — Multi-catch design lets you bag several in one day without resetting • Built like a tank — Heavy-duty galvanized steel, no flimsy plastic nonsense; survives weather and angry squirrels • Humane & effective — Large enough for them to enter easily, small enough they can’t bulldoze out; easy release door • Indoor/outdoor champ — Works great in attics, garages, yards, or under decks—no assembly headaches • Zero escapees — Once they’re in, they stay in (unlike cheaper traps that turn into revolving doors) Cons: • They will scream at you — Those little jerks are dramatic when you approach with gloves • Takes up some real estate — Bigger than single-catch traps, so not super discreet in tiny spaces • Bait disappears fast — You’ll go through peanut butter or seeds like it’s happy hour If you’re at war with squirrels chewing wires, digging up your yard, or turning your attic into a nut storage unit, the Squirrelinator is the nuclear option you actually want. Catches them faster than you can say “get off my bird feeder.” 5 stars—highly recommended for anyone tired of losing to rodents!
Review: I FINALLY GOT THE CRITTERS! - I saw this trap on one of the chicken facebook groups that i follow and found the link for this in the comments. The post i found it on caught waaay more than i did for their post but i dont care because i finally caught something in a trap! I'M THRILLED SO HERE'S MY REVIEW! 🥳🥳🥳 Ive been hearing these pests going about the undercarriage of my RV and have been being kept awake because i cant turn off my brain once i hear the skittering. Ive been finding nests in places like in my engine bay, generator compartment, and spare tire compartment, under my coop, ect. I dont have issues with rodents inside because i have cats but the cats only have inside and the catio i built them, so limited pest deterant there. (Also my family has one outdoor cat thats old and insists on being outside but still mouses so i cant poison, but i knew these rodents were too big for the old girl to catch) Glue traps sometimes worked but i figured that i must have had BIG and SMART ones remaining because they were triggering my Victor snap rat traps and either getting free or not getting caught. (They also weren't falling for other traps in my chicken coop so this is going in there next!) This trap recomends baiting it with the door stuck open for a little bit, to which i used a little bit of bent wire and i left the door a little loose, because i wanted to be sure the rats were fine with the door moving while they got used to the trap. I baited with wet cat food for the smell and appeal of it, splattering it on the edges and gate and left it for a few days. (I didnt mean to leave it for a few days but life happened and i was unwell enough i wasnt doing chores, but i could see the bait being messed with so i left it). I also made sure i barley touched the trap so that my scent wasnt on it much. (Besides the lil video i took when i got it because the pictures online make it a little hard to tell the shapes in the trap). Last night i baited with more wet cat food all over and took out the wire. To be honest, i forgot about checking the trap till well past noon but the little pests were still stuck within, something i worried about because the door just flops up and down from the weight of it, but the little tunnel keeps them from going straight back to the door. (Set on a flat surface to make sure the door works right). I took a video of the rats running around within but im only allowed to upload one vid per review apparently. It was sooooo easy to set up, the only thing id say to watch out for is to not clip the bait door over the handle you need to pick it up later with. I didnt realize i had done because it was dark when i rebaited the trap. (I could have opened the bait door to fix that without them escaping throughit because its enclosed but the critters were launching themselves around when i approached it so i opted not to, so that the entrance door didnt accidentally flop down) The tub that it comes with makes it easier to 'take care' of the pests with a deep 'bath' and the door to remove them worked well to take the tool grips i had and pulled them out. Make your life easier than i did and grab disposable gloves for this process before you start it. (Im not relocating a pest, esp not a smart one. I dont want it and so i dont want to drop it off somewhere to be someone elses problem, id hate if someone did that to me. They have caused me soooo much money in damages from wires to insulation and more.) When i recieved the trap i did notice and take pictures of some damage on one of the corners, like it had been dropped before being packaged, because the box was fine and so was the plastic tub it came within in the box. The damage did not effect usability, thankfully, since this wasnt cheap. Ill say it again, it wasnt cheap, BUT, it was WORTH IT. The size will limit small spaces i may want to use this in (like my generator bay or engine bay of my parked RV) but it will still fit easily under quite a few things like cars and cabinet edges, withing sheds and so on. Its also CHICKEN SAFE! I dont have to worry about triggering snap traps before letting my flock into their run or worry about my birds standing on it. And since im baiting with cat food i dont have to worry about if my birds eat the bait too. Or anything else for that matter, like you have to worry about with other poisons. If you've gotten this far into reading my review, thanks for your time and i hope this helps you decide how to get rid of your pest problem! Have a great day!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: When I use a Havahart (large, rat size), small immature rats are able to go in and get the bait without triggering trap. How sensitive is Ratinator?**
A: It closes behind them after they enter. And the bait cannot be accessed by the rats inside.  So it remains an effective lure for more rats.

**Q: Will this catch mice too, or are they too small?**
A: I have a camera on the trap and the mice go in, then squeeze out through the grid with ease.  So I'd say mice are too small.

**Q: Does this trap come with the "tub"?**
A: yes, it does! I have no idea why though! can anyone explain what the tub is for? It  has to be placed outside the tub for them to go in!  My guess is to allow them to eat from the bait station first so that they will lose their fright of the trap and once you take it out of the tub then they may go in easier! It just seems to me they could have put a door over the entrance to lock and they could still go to the bait to eat and not be caught!

**Q: The hole they go in is necessarily small, how to you get them out after you drown them in the trap? Does the whole thing come open somehow?**
A: Hi JKL,
Rats will enter and exit the hole without any problems. You simply open the hatch to humanely let them out if you wish.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It Ain't Cheap but It Works and It's Darned Worth It !
*by R***T on June 5, 2021*

I first heard about this trap on Tuesday ... ordered this model on Amazon on Wednesday ... received it by noon on Thursday ... and set/baited it in place (SO easy) that afternoon. When I first checked it at 7:45AM Friday morning I already had my first Squirrel. I released it (see below) far from my house Thursday late afternoon and reset/baited it the Squirrelinator trap back to its original location. This morning (Saturday) it was still empty when I got up. But after a quick shower I looked again. I had gotten another and there was a 3rd Squirrel roaming around the trap very interested. That squirrel seemed to love eating one of the oranges off my tree right in front of #2. But after a bit more picking up scattered pieces of bait, he left. I had breakfast and pointed out the trap to my wife, making sure she could see it from our kitchen. And guess what? Another squirrel was roaming about it. Candidly it's FAR more fun than watching TV car chases! Just as I got my binoculars totally zeroed in ... #3 gave into the Squirrelinator's temptations. Talk about quick, easy, and efficient! So right now it cost me just over $25 per squirrel ($70 divided by 3) to get rid of them. I'd certainly have willingly paid that much for a Professional Trapper. So this device is a good value AND investment. And I fully expect to catch more and very quickly. Fyi, I've read a number of reviews that talk about what type of bait to use, its cost, and blah-blah-de-blah. I first threw a small handful of nuts into it. Then, given the fact that the squirrels were feasting on my citrus, I decided to go a little bit off their comfort zone. I added a small handful of Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal, scattering a few flakes around both of the trap's 2 entries. They LOVE it. And it is really fun watching one squirrel in the trap inadvertently kick a flake or two outside of it to the next victim. So try using Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal as bait. I figured they might like it as much as me and they DO !! A final note: While Squirrels are cute they are anything but nice. Watch some of the posted videos and you will witness very mean, dangerous animals that like to bite however "cute" you may think they are. Then think about YOUR kids or grandkids being out there wanting to "play" with or pet them. NOT A GOOD IDEA. I even read that "relocated" squirrels (up to 3 miles away) can find their way back. And those that don't return only continue causing the same problems for their new neighbors as they did for you. So I thought about what I should do. So I prayed on how I should remove them (permanently) from my yard. I sought the advise of my local clergy who suggested praying for their both our souls. And in the end he even baptized them for me. Whatever you choose to do, do the right thing for everyone. Suggestion: Try to find a Squirrelinator that has a "basin". Mine did not have one but not a big deal all things considered. But the basin allows you an easy way to relocate your nasty squirrels however you choose without having a big mess in your car or pickup that is not easy to clean up. The empty shipping box is a good alternative. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Squirrelinator !! Good luck. UPDATE AFTER TWO WEEKS: 22 Squirrels ... but I repositioned the trap at the corner of my driveway trying to catch a couple of them at the front of my house. The trap was on hard cement. And I got one. But after about 3 hours in the trap he was able to escape! I think it was because it was on that hard surface and the squirrel was able to get its paw under the entry and pry it open. But I stand firm on how I rated it. 22 Squirrels in 2 weeks? WOW !!! I am So impressed !!!!! And they still love Honey Bunches of Oats for bait.
