Above is a picture of a gray squirrel caught in a Comstock, double door, 4x5x24, push through, powered door, cage trap used with a Comstock nose cone to direct the squirrel into the trap. Thanks for this picture taken by Tom in Iowa on his nuisance line. These are called positive sets, used without bait or lure, that will catch an animal coming or going from a den. Far superior to baiting, these sets rely only upon an animal moving from one location to another as this is his travel way covered by a "non directional" trap with two doors open to catch the squirrel either coming or going. These traps are incredibly simple, inexpensive, yet the best trap available in a new double door trap, designed to work in any position. They will take even small chipmunks and flying squirrel, rats and maybe even a large mouse.
This was squirrel number 5 taken from this setup. Once the setup is made with the nose cone and trap support in place, traps can be removed and swapped out for a new trap quickly after a catch is made. This supplants the need for separator tools and transfer boxes that have but one function, to hold an animal until release. Furthermore, this removes the possibility of losing an animal during transfer, which can happen on occasion.
These traps are available now and will appear on the website soon.
