Self-Resetting Trap Leader Automatic Trap Company Launches First-of-Kind Multi-Kill, Time-Saving and Non-Toxic TerraTrap California Ground Squirrel Trap Kit

Invented in California by seasoned pest control operators, the TerraTrap GS solves the challenge of mitigating the damage caused by the highly invasive California Ground Squirrel without the use of poison while also substantially reducing pest control labor time.

SONOMA, Calif., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Automatic Trap Company, the leader in self-resetting traps that are humane and eco-friendly pest control solutions, is thrilled to announce the launch of the first-of-kind TerraTrap Ground Squirrel Trap Kit, an innovative California Ground Squirrel pest control system. This cutting-edge pest control product delivers an environmentally safe, efficient, and self-resetting solution to help golf courses, farmers, and businesses in California, Oregon, Washington state, and Nevada manage California Ground Squirrel populations without the use of toxic chemicals. It also substantially reduces labor time as the traps are self-resetting and the Ground Squirrels are effectively removed by natural scavengers such as owls, ravens, vultures, foxes, racoons, bobcats, skunks and more.

"The new TerraTrap Ground Squirrel Kit was designed to look like a rock and mimic the natural environment the animals are used to and not cause alarm since they are notoriously timid pests," said Blair Calder, President of Automatic Trap Company. "The design encourages tunneling and the internal CO₂-powered cartridge system kills instantly and humanly. The dead squirrel is then released and birds or other animals carry it away. Best of all, once the scavengers in your area are used to checking the trap, they will return daily and quickly clear it, thereby reducing your labor significantly. Early adopters of our traps, such as farmers, ranchers and golf courses, have been having great success with it."

The TerraTrap GS Kit is engineered to provide long-term, continuous California Ground Squirrel management, reducing the reliance on poisons and snap traps. Featuring a CO₂-powered mechanism, the system quickly and humanely eliminates Ground Squirrels and automatically resets for continuous operation. The TerraTrap GS Kit is ideal for protecting farms, golf courses, and commercial properties from Ground Squirrel damage, ensuring a safer and cleaner outdoor environment.

Key Features of the TerraTrap GS Kit include:

• Self-Resetting Technology: Capable of dispatching multiple California Ground Squirrels up to 18 times before needing an inexpensive new cartridge. The lure can be anything that squirrels accept, but in-shell peanuts work well.
• Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic: Free from harmful chemicals, making it safe for pets, people and wildlife.
• Weather-Resistant Design: Built for year-round outdoor use in various climates.
• Easy Installation & Maintenance: Hassle-free setup and minimal upkeep for maximum convenience.

The TerraTrap GS Kit is now available for purchase only online at Automatic Trap Company and MSRP is $599.99.

About Automatic Trap Company
Automatic Trap Company is the premier USA distributor for Goodnature trapping technology and supplies. Since being established in 2016, our vision has been to eliminate the preventable suffering of rodents - and we feel we are one step closer with every trap we ship. Sadly, the three most common ways to kill rodents - glue traps, snap traps, and poison - are incredibly cruel. Glue traps are an inhumane and unnecessary way to end a rodent's life. Snap traps often fail to kill quickly, and they only work on either rats or mice. Poison results in a slow, painful death and exposes other wildlife, such as predator birds, to the same harm. At Automatic Trap, we are breaking the cycle of inhumane and harmful rodent control. We offer pragmatic solutions that eliminate rodents in the most humane and efficient way possible.
