How to make a one way Squirrel trap

Awful thats a real hillbilly trap

Thanks! Great instructional video! However I suggest only 3 zip ties along each joint, 1 on each end & 1 in the middle. I’m gonna duplicate your one way door!

I will try to build one

Outstanding

for the outside I usually use one piece, then make 3 folds, when you cut it leave the wire little pieces then interweave them and fold the wire pieces to lock it all together. when making the door I once again leave the little bits of wire and bend them over and under to make it spring loaded. so you only need the wire, snips and pliers ( I use a multitool). May be hard to visualize

How do you attach it to the house?

Great video I like to buy you a beer and a pizza

I’m installing mine this weekend. Thank you

Nice, thanks for the video, I do wildlife as well, and with this new information I can even make a multiple catch trap like this as well.

Very clever, relatively simple but effective design 👍. Thank you!

Thanks. I cannot find the heavier gauge coated fence material. I tried three big box hardware stores (Menards, Lowes and Home Depot) and all have none. Only stock lighter 20 gauge non coated which seems too flimsy to me. Any suggestions on sourcing the material?

Is this trap door too aggressive flying squirrels?

This is perfect. Great demonstration and easy material to use. I have been looking for this video for weeks. These squirrels are a read nuisance. Some people think the are just the cutest but once you get then in your house LOOK OUT! It cost $$ from damage and to pay for Critter Getters.....

Will the squirrel be able to lift the door and go through?

Was able to find this in 19 gauge. Looks a little thinner than yours. I thought there was an Amazon link or do you know the gauge of the coated wire (hardware cloth) you used?
