The trap works. Once squirrels are inside, it is easy to carry to the relocation spot. The trap is strong enough to hold them inside, even if they try to chew or push through the mesh. The one problem was that the basin (for giving them a bath) has a hole in the bottom corner. So when I put a bit of water in it, it leaked. It was damaged in the shipping. I have not yet tried to contact the seller to get a replacement basin. Otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars.

So far we have caught several of the non-native tree squirrels, one at a time. I didn't expect to catch multiple squirrels at once so that's fine. The tub is deep enough to drown them quickly, but there is so little room that it's kind of creepy knowing that the squirrels are trying to get out with only about 1/2 inch water between their noses and the air above. Fortunately they quickly go into torpor. You also have to fill the tub on completely level ground or it will be too shallow on one side, even on a slight incline. I had it shipped to store so it wouldn't be damaged but the box was still really beat up, obviously smashed, torn, and opened on one end. I might as well have had it shipped to home and saved a long drive to the store. When we fill it with water there is a fast leak at the corner where the box was most severely damaged and the water draws down pretty quickly. So far no response from Tractor Supply on my reported damage. If it hadn't been damaged I would give it a higher rating. The store should never give a customer a product in such a badly damaged box. They didn't give me a receipt either. So good rating on the product, bad rating on the store.
