We had a nasty case of "Squirrels in the Attic" not too long ago. We set up a few of these traps (slightly shorter version) with little more than peanut butter sandwiches and patience. For the next four days we put the bait out around the traps to allow them to get used to them. On the fifth, we set the traps with a peanut butter sandwich stuck to the trigger plate. The next day we bagged our first squirrel which was released unharmed 10 miles away.
I have only one complaint. It seems black birds like peanut butter too but thankfully they never triggered the trap. At first I thought the trigger plate wasn't going to be sensitive enough for the squirrels, but I guess you can't argue with results.

I bought this trap to catch some squirrels that were eating all of my wild bird food. The trap worked well, the first squirrel was caught in a couple of days. The difficulty came in getting the squirrel out of the trap to release it. There doesn't seem to be a way to fasten the door in an open position so you can walk away and let the animal find its own way out. You have to hold the door open and tip the trap in a way that sort of "pours" the animal out. While this is not difficult with a squirrel, It could be a lot harder with something like a skunk.
We had to adjust the latch for the door to make it more sensitive, but it was easy and now it only takes a very light touch to trip the door. We even caught a curved-bill thrasher that ventured in to eat the peanuts we left for the squirrels!
This is an inexpensive trap to catch an occasional animal, but if you plan to do a lot of trapping I would recommend purchasing a trap that has a more user-friendly way to get the animals out of the trap.
