Squirrel Trap Disadvantages and Dangers
There are two different ways to trap squirrels: live cage trapping and conibear kill traps. We do not use either
unless a cage trap is required to reunite a mother with her
young. A cage trap can kill squirrels just as easily as
a kill trap because of the stress it inflicts on many squirrels. Relocating them is sometimes more inhumane
than other methods because they will be relocated into a territory already taken by other squirrels –
they will possibly be pushed out and starved, which is a miserable death. Kill traps are indiscriminate, unforgiving,
non-target traps for wildlife.
How Some Wildlife Pest Control Companies Get Rid of Squirrels
If you see any traps that look like these body grip style squirrel traps, A.K.A. conibear trap,
on your property, please know that unaware fingers will be injured, and that squirrels, cats,
birds and other non-target animals will certainly die if caught in them. These traps are
designed to snap closed on a
squirrel’s neck, but may sometimes miss the neck. We have
many clients turn to our services after seeing squirrels struggle for up to fifteen minutes
in traps similar to these because of partially crushed skulls, broken ribs, and caught legs.
A few people that have had services accidentally kill curious cats and hungry birds are other
reasons people switch to us. We understand that not everybody operates their business the
unusual way we do, but The Skunk Whisperer®, Inc. will not utilize conibear style traps on
your property. We do not believe that live trapping is the answer either because that would
simply set you up to be a repeat client. Do not let any service try and convince you that killing
or trapping your current nuisance wildlife and patching one hole is anything more than a temporary solution.
