Comparing Prices and Sizes of Cage Traps, Function

Experimenting with large and small traps, we have pioneered the use of smaller, shorter cage traps used in our own ADC Business, with the goal of finding the smallest, space saving traps to do the job.  We have led the way in this endeavor and found that even short 18 inch double door traps will take skunks and chucks virtually every time with no necessity for a longer 24 or 30 inch trap that fills up a truck in a hurry and are more difficult to place when setting, impossible at times.

Also, our wire trigger traps are priced lower than any other similar traps with features like complete powder coating, internal components, unequalled simplicity with no extra springs etc. to foul, welded frames to door wires and super duty heavy metal bands, not like the light 15 gage clips others use.  A cage is at it's strongest when all parts are in place intact, so when one light clip fails, its all down hill for the weakened trap in a domino effect until the falls apart and the animal escapes.  Comstock traps are all but "escape proof."  Since the traps were perfected a couple of years ago, we have been aware of no escapes, a record few if any can match.

We also pioneered another concept, uni-pricing for each line.  What that means, you can choose the length trap you need rather than base your purchase on price, selecting a shorter cage just to save a few bucks.  You can buy the one you want.  Whether you choose an 18 inch trap, a 24, a 30 or 36 they are all priced at the same low price and below the "competition."  As we have found and dozens who use are products confirm, the door opening is less of a factor in making a capture than the length of the trap.  If there is an educated animal, a trap of an inch or two larger will not make enough difference to make the catch.  Smart animals sometimes require very large cage traps for confidence or the use of completely different methods and devices altogether.
