Joel Blakeslee - Nevada Trappers Association

I've had 2-4 out for the past few weeks and have killed close to 70 squirrels.

David Evans - Brentwood School

It most definitely works in the areas we have used it.

Matt Caldwell - McCall Property Services

I have been using the A18 for almost a year now with great success. Very easy to setup and use. The counter is great, we have a lot of fox in the area and there have been kills that have been taken away by nature. So impressed with the A18 that I have now purchased the A24 and mouse trap.

Terry Stewart - City of Palmdale

Last week 17. Checked the 3 traps yesterday, had 9 more killed. To date so far this month it's 26 killed. Will be adding a few more @N8 location soon. YES 26 kills!

Keith Nevison - Santa Barbara Botanic Garden

We placed it in an area that has seen a lot of ground squirrel activity, just below our Conservation Center, and in checking it earlier this morning we saw the counter at 5. Looks like it's working well! My team would like to purchase 2 more TerraTraps to deploy in additional locations. Grateful to have fewer pressures on our plants!

  • CO₂ Powered

    The A18 is powered by 16g CO₂ canisters. This means no cables or chargers to keep track of, just replace your canister and let the trap do the work.

  • Versatile

What's Inside the A18

The A18 is the ultimate self-resetting squirrel trap. Using 16g CO2 canisters, it instantly resets after each strike, ensuring continuous operation. Its design attracts squirrels into the entrance that aligns the hammer perfectly with their skull, ready to deliver a single, powerful, fatal, strike.

After it strikes, the hammer then resets and powers the trap back up for another strike.

With quick setup and automatic resetting, the A18 offers an efficient, humane solution for nuisance squirrel control.

What's Inside the TerraTrap GS

Invented in California by seasoned pest control operators, the TerraTrap GS uses an A18, combined with an engineered rock camouflage and tunnel design specifically to target California ground squirrels.

Ground squirrels are much more likely to approach a trap that mimics their natural environment. It is designed to encourage tunnelling and has been proven successful at hundreds of sites, professional and domestic.

The system kills instantly and humanely. The dead squirrel is released and easily scavenged by birds and other wildlife. The lure can be anything your pest squirrels are attracted to, in-shell peanuts or wildlife feed are recommended.

Constant Control

The A18 is designed to function with minimal human interaction. Each CO2 canister delivers 18 consecutive unattended strikes, making the A18 one of the most efficient and effective multi-kill systems available. Pair this with the use of scavenging for clean-up and you've got a completely self-sustaining rodent control system. Just set the trap and forget about it.

  • Non-Toxic

    Avoid the use of toxins and poisons which could end up in unwanted areas of your home. The A18 delivers all of the lethality without any of the side-effects.

  • Humane

    Unlike glue traps which slowly starve or suffocate squirrels, the A18 delivers one powerful and effective strike that instantly renders squirrels permanently unconscious. Lethality shouldn't mean cruelty.

  • Long Run Savings

    Traditional rodent control devices like snap traps are only good for a single use. If you have persistent squirrel issues, our squirrel trap delivers cost savings over the long run by being a single purchase multi-kill solution.

  • Family Friendly

    Unlike traditional traps that are mostly exposed, our design makes it difficult for children, pets and non-targets to get hands, paws or any other parts into the trap.
