Thanks. I’m replacing the one I bought so many years ago because it is beyond repair.

3,518 House Sparrows and many Starlings too. I’d say I got my money’s worth out of it.

Cheers!

I have been a martin landlord for over twenty years. I never had problems with HOSP until about 3 years ago. The first year I let them nest in my gourds. The second year my martin numbers went down a little but the HOSP numbers started to explode. The third year I tried shooting and in gourd traps but the HOSP numbers continued to build and my martins went down considerably. I ordered the trap and on the first day I caught 9 HOSP. After this early success I hope to reduce the HOSP numbers and get back to enjoying martins.

If you follow the directions, you will catch house sparrows.

Set my trap July 10th as of August 3 87 total caught I am amazed at how good this trap works my only regret is I I should of started in the spring before nesting season but I plan on keeping it out year round my bird feeders are now almost completely void of sparrows thank you for a great product!!!

The first week or so I had no activity with this trap. I then moved it another location close to a small tree, and I began baiting it with a better variety of seed and bread. I started catching sparrows two or three at a time, usually several times a week. Very effective, and I hope it makes a big difference in giving my bluebirds and other native species a safer haven around our place.

My first “guest” arrived less than a day after I put the trap up. I have only had it up for a few days an have already removed 4 males from the population, with 2 more on deck. I am very happy with how it works!

My next-door neighbor tossed white bread daily on his outdoor table resulting in the area being over-run by HOSP’s. Within 15 minutes after set-up 2 were trapped. I kept emptying the trap when 5 or 6 were caught (leaving one as bait) The first day 27! It was a rainy day and the umbrella kept the cage dry. The second day 6. Third day was unseasonable hot. Four were caught. I temporally removed the trap and reset a week later and trapped 19. Total 57, hence this review.

Just ordered our trap, it came in a couple of days. Set it up last night and had a female HOSP in the trap when checked this morning. They have taken over our martin houses, and we have been finding pierced blue bird eggs in our yard. Never saw any HOSP until year before last, but they have soared in numbers. I even see them at my birdfeeders. Cant wait to see how many we catch! THANKS!

I have been a Bluebird haven for 3 years. I chase and discourage House Sparrows like a woman obsessed. This year it wasn’t enough. My Bluebirds were savagely attacked by House Sparrows and the babies were murdered. THEN my Tree Swallow nest was raided.!! “That’s it! THIS MEANS WAR!” I said. So, I gulped and spent the $ on this trap. THE VERY NEXT DAY, one male house sparrow was mine. I cannot wait to see how many I get, but Blue Birds and Tree Swallows can start to rest easy. I will stop at nothing to rid them of this scourge.

Just put my sparrow trap out yesterday and by lunch today , I had 3 sparrows in my trap!!! Love it and my bluebirds and tree swallows saidTHANK U TOO!!!
