Above is an amazing picture of two gray squirrels caught in a Comstock Live Squirrel Trap, taken at the same time. The live cage trap pictured is only 5x5x24. This advanced design allowed both squirrels to be caught both at once. These double powered door traps with the unique swing panel triggers were able to take two squirrels at one time due to the quick powered doors that angle towards the center of the trap when fired. Since the doors are powered, as they close they act sort of like a Chinese finger trap, forcing the squirrel to move forward only, no backing out. When the door contacts the squirrel, the doors add pressure and angle to keep them from backing up, so the squirrel quickly moves forward only, which then allows the doors to close completely.
If you are looking for a method in how to trap squirrels, gray squirrels, red squirrels or flying squirrels, either placing these traps over a den in a “positive set” or using bait using one or both doors will do the trick. There is also a larger trap in 6x6x24 for to take the larger fox squirrels.
These small but durable humane live traps are surely the best offered anywhere. Besides the 5×5 and 6×6 there is a small gutter trap in 3×5 are larger traps in 6×8, 7×7 and 8×10 openings.
