Review: The quality control pre-packaging inspection missed a major issue but trap works when fixed. - There does not seem to be any quality control inspection on these after being made and before packaging into product box. The one I got today had a issue with one of the doors. The 4 crimping pieces were not put on in the correct spot causing the door to rub against the inside part of the cage. The door would not go down all the way like the other door, leaving a 1/2 to 3/4 inch opening that the chipmunks would have went right out thru. If it was even mildly inspected after being made that would have been noticed. A small flat screwdriver, a needle nose pliers and a small dental style pick is what I used to remove and reposition the crimping parts. Be careful NOT to tighten them too much if this is needed by you or door will not swing freely. I removed all 4 of the crimps and repositioned them and door now works like it should. I set the trap inside my garage and caught one in 10 minutes. It was trying hard to get out of the cage but could not. Over time, as another reviewer has said, it would figure out how to get out, or just get lucky and escape. I locked it as it says and relocated him farther out in the country. I opened the large removal door on top and had to hold trap on end, so chimpunk was on bottom. It then climbed up, finding door, and was gone. If this continues to work I'll most likely edit my review to 5 stars. I do think it's a bit overpriced for what it is but that's pretty much a common thing now, no matter what the product is. EDIT: As stated above.. I have changed this to a 5 star review. It works great. The most I caught at one time is two and that's been twice so far, but I check every hour. The key for me seems to be putting a few seeds right by the "entry doors" as well as a small "pile" in the middle. That really helps to get them into the trap.
Review: I caught 5 chipmunks at a time and 175 in one summer! - I have caught 5 chipmunks at a time more than once using this trap and black sunflower seeds as bait, and I have also caught 6 or 7 ground squirrels with it. In one summer, over 175 total chipmunks caught (I live in the mountains...they are everywhere), so it works great. But it will rust and you will need to touch it up with spray paint. Also, getting them to leave the trap can be a bit challenging but if you put it upside down at a slight angle with the top door open like a ramp, they will leave on their own. Other thing to know, after you have caught them, always close the door flaps using the spring...if you dont strap all the doors shut before moving it, the doors may open enough for them to escape if you tilt the trap at all. Dont use any of the baits they recommend, just go straight to the black sunflower seeds and you will start catching them...it may take them a few days to realize the trap is a regular source of food, so leave a few seeds around the entrances and pile them an inch inside the trap doors. Once they realize there are seeds there every day you will start catching them. Also, don't leave any bait out at night or it will attract mice and they are small enough to get in, eat and get out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I caught 5 chipmunks at a time and 175 in one summer!
*by M***4 on July 23, 2025*

I have caught 5 chipmunks at a time more than once using this trap and black sunflower seeds as bait, and I have also caught 6 or 7 ground squirrels with it. In one summer, over 175 total chipmunks caught (I live in the mountains...they are everywhere), so it works great. But it will rust and you will need to touch it up with spray paint. Also, getting them to leave the trap can be a bit challenging but if you put it upside down at a slight angle with the top door open like a ramp, they will leave on their own.

### ⭐ Works good but the construction of the trap is weak
*by M***R on January 22, 2026*

Worked great on the first squirrel, caught in a day of having the trap out. On the forth day of being out a squirrel broke one of the trap doors off. The welds broke off and the door was laying in the bottom of the trap. I just closed off that opening for now and Im just using the one trap door for now. Not too impressed with the construction, figured it would last more than a few days. Waiting on a response from the company about a replacement trap or door.
