It's back!! WCS is pleased to announce the return of the WCS™ Shorty Tube Trap™! This trap is a shorter version of the classic Rust Resistent Tube Trap, but with a few new advantages. Just like its big brother, it is treated with an electro-plating process which is black in color and is highly rust resistant. No need to dip, dye, or spray paint these traps. Just pull them out of the box and use them. This tunnel shaped trap is a very effective squirrel and rodent trap. Constructed of 21-gauge steel, the trap is 4.5 inches in diameter, 7.5" inches long, and is powered by a beefy double torsion spring. It now offers a zero clearance strike and its smaller size allows it to be used in spaces where larger traps just won't do. Used either baited or non-baited, the Shorty Tube Trap is a natural attractant to squirrels wanting to run through it or hide in it. Once the squirrel reaches the triggering pan in the middle of the trap, the double torsion spring triggers the strike bar. The WCS™ Shorty Tube Trap comes with a built in safety latch to prevent the trap from prematurely firing while setting. Caution: The Shorty Tube Trap is a LETHAL trap, use special care when and where setting.
IMPORTANT: Please stake down the trap to minimize possibility of theft by a larger animal, i.e., coyote.

BAITING
There are two preferred ways of using the Tube Trap in a baited fashion. First, using your favorite paste type bait smear some directly onto the triggering pan of the Tube trap. For added appeal, press some bird seed of sunflower seeds into the paste bait. Then take a 1/4" piece of hardware cloth or screening and lay it on top of the triggering pan containing the bait and wrap the edges around the pan. The easiest way to do this is to grip it with your hand. This makes it harder for the squirrel to access the bait, and they have to work at it. The second baiting method involves smearing your favorite paste bait directly above the pan. To do this, turn the trap completely over, BEFORE SETTING IT, and smear the paste directly over the pan area. Then turn the trap back over and set it according to proper instructions. Again, this makes the squirrel work for the bait as they will be focused on the bait, not on the triggering pan.

Excellent trap. Unfortunately it doesn't always kill. Need to shade the tube from sun, and had more luck with putting small bits of grass/leaves to cover trip. Better to bait it but then it killed the birds which is a problem so had to hide it or not bait or use the caps i also bought. I have both the longer and shorter tube and so far the shorter is more successful. I like the safety catch as I can leave the trap in place overnight and they get used to it and it won't kill any nocturnal animals. It takes time to see what works for your own site. I would recommend the tube traps and am happy with my purchase. Reading these posts is one of the best ways to be successful. The vultures are being well fed.

Fantastic, trapping at least 2 a day. We have seen an improvement on our property, and from the past destruction of our flower, berry, vegetable gardens, and lawn

I have used the trap and bait purchased from WCS. I have only caught one animal. I have had animals stand on top of the trap. Very hard to set, but that is OK, only have had to set it twice because nothing trips it.

5 days, 4 kills. Very effective. Use with caution as it is lethal and might kill the wrong animals.

i like these traps so much better than the older and longer tube traps. these fit in my car easily and are very easy to bait and clean.

24 squirrels so far in less than 2 weeks! Squirrels have chewed and destroyed lawnmower parts!

Out for 2 hours - 1 less critter. Add some bait (peanuts and peanut butter) and another one gone. The absolute best means for squirrel control. I recommend buying a trap setter tho as it is a strong trap.

Within three days I caught 2 of the ground squirrels that were burrowing under my foundation causing a lot of damage. The longer tube trap didn't work at all after two weeks of trying; the squirrels won't go in the long trap. I found that a combination of sunflower seeds and almond/peanut butter worked well for bait. I expect to eliminate more in the coming months. One caveat - tie some twine, or whatever to the trap; I lost my first one when something ran off with it.

This thing is serious. On the hard side to set but those rodents will not get away like they did on other traps I tried.

After years of mixed success with conibear traps mounted on an inclined 2x4, I spent the money on two of these squirrel traps. Unbelievable results. 6 fat squirrels in 2 days, 12 in a week. I quit baiting after the first 2 days and still got squirrels. Achieved my desired result: protected my peach trees from being stripped of peaches.
