WCS Shorty Tube Trap Squirrel Trap

Product Description

WCS Shorty Tube 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.

Features

• COMPACT SIZE FOR TIGHT SPACES - At just 7.5" long x 4.5" diameter, the Shorty Tube Trap fits where larger traps cannot - tight corners, crawl spaces, narrow fence lines, under decks. Sized for squirrels, chipmunks, rats, and similar small to medium rodents. When the standard 15" tube will not fit, this is your solution.
• POWERFUL 21-GAUGE STEEL CONSTRUCTION - Zero clearance strike means no escapes. The double-torsion spring delivers decisive, lethal results. Weighs 2 lbs - solid and weatherproof. NOTE: This compact trap requires more hand strength to set than our longer Easy Set model due to shorter leverage. See setup video in images.
• SHIPS WITH SAFETY HOOK - Double-torsion spring delivers lethal force - the included safety hook prevents accidental discharge during setup. CAUTION: This is a KILL trap, not humane capture. Keep away from children and pets. Works baited or unbaited - the enclosed tube naturally attracts curious squirrels who want to run through or hide inside.
• PRO BAITING TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS - Method 1: Smear paste bait (peanut butter) on trigger pan, press sunflower seeds into it, cover with 1/4" hardware cloth to make squirrels work for it. Method 2: Flip trap over BEFORE setting, smear paste bait on ceiling above pan, flip back and set. Both methods focus squirrels on bait, not trigger. Tape one end closed for one-way entry.
• TRUSTED BY PROFESSIONALS SINCE 1998 - WCS supplies biologists, pest control operators, and wildlife management pros. This is the same gear working professionals use. Need easier setup?
