The solution
The TerraTrap GS is the Ground Squirrel Solution you have been waiting for!
The TerraTrap GS, patent pending, was invented in California by seasoned pest control operators. It solves the challenge of California Ground Squirrel control.
Ground Squirrels are much more likely to approach the trap that mimics the natural environment they are used to. The design encourages tunneling into the trap, while the appearance of a rock does not alarm the notoriously timid pests.
Built for the field
A serious tool. Made to work between visits.
Humane Control
The system is powered by Goodnature's A18 Trap. The A18 is an automatic trap that kills instantly and humanely. Then the dead squirrel is released to be collected or scavenged by animals. Scavengers in the area will quickly adapt to checking the trap, clearing it out for you, and reducing labor significantly.
Self Resetting
The system uses a CO2 powered self-resetting trap that can kill up to 18 times before needing an inexpensive new cartridge. The lure can be anything that your squirrels accept; in-shell peanuts work well.

Case study★★★★★
“It is everything we could have hoped for and more.”
The administration yard was overrun with ground squirrels. Rodenticides weren’t viable — raptors, foxes, and other wildlife on site made secondary poisoning too high a risk. After TerraTrap GS deployed, the yard cleared in a short time.

I was hesitant because of the high price, but this trap caught five squirrels on the very first day. Super easy to set up.

“Worth its weight in gold! I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend the money, but I’m glad I did. It eliminated the squirrels from trampling my flowers and clawing at my screen doors.”
