The A18 is the world’s first automatic, self-resetting trap for the Grey Squirrel. When installed, the trap can humanely dispatch 18 Grey Squirrels, one after the other. The trap comes with a counter, to show the number of strikes, should the dispatched squirrel be scavenged. A tree mount & stainless steel screws, which is easily attached to a tree, post, etc. Hazelnut Lure, CO2, and success guide are all included too.
Controlling grey squirrels will provide much needed support for Britain’s Songbirds, Native Red Squirrel, and Broadleaf Woodland.
Our digital counter lets you know how many grey squirrels have been dispatched. When the counter hits 18, you know it’s time to replace the CO2 Canister.
The A18 Back Plate is easily fitted behind the Mounting Bracket, offering excellent protection to non-target species; whilst still enabling the trap to perform efficiently and humanely.
PLEASE NOTE – TRAP DAMAGE CAN OCCUR THROUGH SQUIRRELS CHEWING THE TOP OF THE DEVICE. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT A TRAP GUARD IS USED TO PROTECT THE TRAP.

Highly effective trap as I had a major squirrel problem in my London garden which has significantly improved in one week time. I have been using other methods before but nothing was working until I discovered this GoodNature Trap.
Easy to install and it already despatched 12 squirrels in a week time.

I received the A18 only a few days ago. The local grey squirrel population has reduced by 4 in 48 hours. Very happy, as they were becoming a real nuisance and I was concerned they would find their way into my loft.
Easy to install and very humane in its operation. Thanks

Arrived on the 10th June and was put up immediately. Easy to install and bait. Took a couple of days (and rebaiting) before the counter had increased with no evidence of dispatch. Today (15th June) it has dispatched 5 with carcasses below to prove the counter is correct. I saw one dispatched myself and it was very quickly done. I was slightly dubious and first due to the price but it has more than proved itself already.

2 days in, 2 squirrels dispatched. Day 1 had no result so I placed a small tray of the bird seed the squirrels had been attracted to below the trap,. I don’t know if this made the difference but result!
Device feels robust and very well made. I would recommend the rain guard as an add-on not just to protect the unit from the elements but also “soften” the visual impact.
However, safety labels should be included!

I have had a squirrel problem in my garden for a couple of years and because of children and dogs didn’t want to use conventional style traps. I discovered the A18 Grey Squirrel Counter Trap after searching for alternative solutions. My Trap arrived on Wednesday morning, it was incredibly easy to set up and is very, very effective. By lunch time it had despatched 3 squirrels, 2 days on and the count is 19!
Great piece of kit, and excellent customer service, couldn’t recommend it more.
