I also set one up at home in the backyard to catch chipmunks but it seems the squirrels simply stand on the edge of the bucket and lick the peanut butter clean. I think I'll try making a larger version with a large storage container.
Very effective trap.
Thanks for the pics dt5150!!!

Same here....set up a bucket trap with a soda bottle.....caught 6 mice in two days
Was using the spring traps but some times they lick off the peanut butter and the traps don't spring.....they can be touchy
