WCS™ Tube Trap™ - Rust Resistant

Caught a squirrel each time I put it out. Baited only with peanut butter above the trigger as recommended. Great investment for critter control. Highly recommended.

Trap is easy to use & works great. I average one squirrel/day sine I installed it.

Took a big chance on ordering three of these having never used a lethal trap before. I found a video on these and was convinced it was worth trying. First time buyer from WCS and very pleased by product and delivery, I live in central Florida. I found setting it a real challenge as I am 74 and not in the best of physical shape. My biggest problem of course is setting the trigger, the video makes it look easy but trust me it takes some practice and a few prayers not to lose a finger. During my first week I had one squirrel escape and killed two. I have used the hazel nut bait and walnuts I forgot about and was three years in a freezer. One kill on the hazel nut bait and one on walnuts. I have eight medium sized mango trees in my yard and set the three at the base of the trunks of three trees. Bought the end caps wish I could just get the blanked off cap but not offered. " HINT ".\nMy plan is to exterminate as many as I can before my trees start dropping fruit for harvest. I highly recommend this trap even for first time old, exasperated homeowners. Just be very, very careful as to how you set the trap. I intend to buy some all-weather plywood to bolt the traps onto the wood to keep it stable while setting the traps. Those springs are truly very strong and frankly scare the h_ll out of me when I try to set the trigger. WARNING always set the safety latch before trying to set that trigger mechanism and don't bait it when it is armed to operate even if the safety latch is set. This trap is brutal and very effective. I intend to buy five more of these one for each tree as soon as I catch get them in my budget and verify using a fixed plywood square works to keep the trap fixed when i want to set the trigger. Thanks, WCS for solving my problem

Best thing I've tried, gets them very efficiently. I'm thinking about getting more - very highly recommended.

This thing worked perfectly. Have had squirrels get in my soffit and then in a wall. When it was warm enough for them to roam around the yard, got 2 of them in 2 days. Worked better w/ peanut butter.

Sturdy construction. Easy to operate. Successful in our mission to eradicate the bushy tailed rodents from our vicinity.\nDay one: Screwed the trap to the top of the cedar fence, placed some food on top of the fence leading to the trap and inside the trap. Did not set the trap, just established it as a place to get some food.\nDay two, replenished the food supply, pulled the handle down, and set the trap. 10 Minutes later, heard a metallic "chunk" sound.; dead squirrel. Disposed of said dead squirrel, and reset the trap. 15 mins later, another dead squirrel to add to our collection. Reset the trap.\n\nDay three: Another dead squirrel. \n\nVery effective, I'm pleased with this purchase.

I bought this tube trap over a year ago on the recommendation of my pest control man. The house we purchased had a squirrel infestation in the attic. I caught two or three squirrels a day using sunflower seeds or peanuts until we had the infestation under control. Nothing works better. I came back today to buy one more tube for the root yard and end caps. The end caps are a brilliant idea to keep the opossums out. All in all, a great product. This is what you need to keep those pesky squirrels away.

So far so good. I used peanut butter on the inside above the pan. three squirrels in four days, plus a big old possum. I watched as one squirrel went in and once the trap sprang on him it was just a matter of seconds and he stopped moving. I didn't enjoy it, but the numbers of squirrels in our neighborhood is massive due to the fact that many people think it's "cute" to feed them buckets of sunflower seeds and corn. This is not natural foraging and throws off the balance of nature (so to speak). I have absolutely no problems with squirrels, but when they leave not one tomato left on the vine of 4 large plants, then there is a problem. I now just consider them "tree rats", which is rather sad.

I had a resident ground squirrel that, over time, had created a sand dune with an entrance to the burrow that was 7+ inches in diameter...a monster squirrel! The trap came yesterday, this morning I baited it with peanut butter and pistachio's, dug a shallow trench perpendicular to my back fence and near the burrow then set the trap. (I'm a 70-something gal with a bit of arthritis in my hands so I bought the trap setter and I highly recommend it.)\nI placed the trap with one end against the back fence, baited at the rear and also above the plate with a nut hors-d'oeuvre at the open end.\nFamily stopped by a few hours later and I wanted to show off my new trap - TADA! Dead squirrel already! I did a happy dance while my son disposed of the bloodless, very dead "at least 5-lb squirrel" (said he!).\nI've been fighting this varmint for months and she's gone! Hurrah!! I will set the trap again and again if squatters show up. (I'm sure it's a very lovely burrow down there!)

We caught 8 rock squirrels in 8 days. Highly recommend this trap to everyone.
