Kathleen, the most recent user of the humane small animal trap kindly posted a note about her experience, but as her posting found its way to an obscure part of the website, we reproduce most of it here:

"Just a quick note to add to the last post (which pretty much covered all bases). We were very happy to be able to rent Michael's trap as it saved us from having to hire the services of a pest control company. The particular squirrel we were trying to catch was a wily one and somehow managed to get the bait a couple of times without tripping the trap. Can't figure out how this could happen as we followed the instructions to the letter. There were also one or two times when the trap tripped and still no squirrel. In any case, after two weeks of this I was ready to call it a day. But my husband insisted we keep trying and after another 3 weeks he succeeded in catching the critter. He released him into the wilds of North Vancouver (we live in the East side so we figure having a bridge between us should be good enough). Regarding bait, we found that this squirrel just couldn't resist fresh roasted peanuts in their shells (despite having many close shaves with the trap tripping on him). I suppose my message to others who may use the trap is that when it comes to squirrels persistence really does pay off. We wish anyone else who tries the trap in the future the best of luck and a big thank you for offering this great service."

Thank you for taking the time to do the posting, Kathleen.
