I purchased coyote urine to use as a deterrent for a family of skunks. They laughed at me. There was zero deterrence and they are bringing their relatives. I am going to have to build them a condo. I gave this product two stars because it was shipped quickly and safely, and was easy to use, but if you have a skunk problem, I recommend finding another solution.

Used marshmallows as bait. Coons could remove bait without tripping the catch. Modified the set-a notch and added lubricant. Slight improvement.

I run a nuisance wildlife removal business and use various types of traps and set-ups. I decide to purchase 2 of these and try them out. I do like the idea, but the trigger is way too difficult to set off. I adjusted the pan to where it was barely holding on and I couldn't set the trap off without banging it hard with a stick.

Overall I was very impressed with the construction of this product. However, it did not work for the ground squirrels in my yard. Still haven't gotten one yet. I resorted to getting a few old fashioned victor rat traps and they are doing the job.

Though the trap is well made and in theory should work just fine I have never been able to meet my clients "live catch" expectations with this trap. I've since purchased over a dozen and catch rates are about 5% of snap trap regardless of bait I use.

The description says brown powder coating. It looks more like soft brown paint that scratches off easily. I had to bend the rod several times to finally get the door to stay up. One of the bolt holes would not line up and needed drilled.

First time using this trap, I caught one. After that it never caught one again. I got the scent of the previous gopher off of it, but it still will not work. I use the Gophinator and it never fails. I hate the gopher hawk and constantly question its popularity.

I was so very disappointed in the fact that I followed the directions as told. I even bought the tennis balls to use with this liquid.\nI really would like to be reimbursed for this purchase.

I'm having no success with this trap but optimistic I will get it to work when I find the right combination of bait and location.

Works great when it works, but it sometimes doesn't climb back up the string, so it gets stuck trying to climb and then the battery dies. Nearly useless.
