On October 26, 2017 we hit the 900 mark in caged beaver in the popular Comstock Swim Through Beaver Cage Traps, taking beavers number 898, 899 and 900 on that day.  The latest milestone was reached three days short of 7 years, since the first experimental 12×18 beaver cage trap, made by hand in the […]

Many thanks to Rob Winters of Animal Control Specialists LLC for sharing pictures of the Comstock Swing Panel Traps in action, this time catching red squirrels at an ADC job location.  Pictures really tell the story.  Positive sets at den sites are pretty much a sure thing, making quick work of removing problem rodents, red […]

Judy and I just returned from three days at the New York State Trappers Convention.  Not only was the weather incredible, 40’s to 70, we had a great show and enjoyed seeing everyone again.  Because we had traveled to Wisconsin to pick up a trailer load of cage traps in July, we were able to […]

It surely was a pleasure to meet Fred Lawrence from Washington.  Fred, his wife Carol, son Mark and grandsons took us to lunch yesterday on the Hudson River in Luzerne where the river drops into a narrow falls.  A perfect fall like day, cool and sunny, Judy and I had a great time getting to […]

The large Swim Through Comstock Beaver Cage Traps take beavers of all sizes.  Pictured are six beaver, three adults weighing in the 30-40 pound range with three young beaver and a muskrat.  Note that the beavers are not much larger than the muskrat.  All seven animals were taken in the 12x18x39 cage traps, set upside […]

Judy and I got back from the Rockford National Trappers Convention last Monday evening after a whirlwind 2,700 miles of driving and ten days on the road.  We picked up the new covered trailer in Indiana, then went directly to the Tomahawk Cage Trap Factory in Wisconsin to load up on new Comstock Cage Traps […]

I guess this is the year for multiple catches for us.  Though many others have reported catching two and three animals at a time, fox, raccoons, beaver, woodchucks, skunks, even one trapper who actually caught 5 otters at one time, I haven’t had that happen until this year.  We got 2 beaver in a dam […]

We just had a conversation with a trapper who informed us that he has been using two of the 12x12x36 Comstock Raccoon Cage traps for the past year.  He told us that he has caught at least 300 Raccoons with these two traps and but best yet, he has never had to replace a trigger […]

         A creative customer of ours provided these pictures using this Comstock accessory with the Comstock 9×11 sized cage trap. The 3 way wire nose cone adapter was designed to be used with either single or multiple cage traps.  Because the adapter has an opening on the bottom for placement over a […]

Previously the longest time I had left traps at a location for woodchucks was 36 days, next to a flower garden that absolutely needed guarding.  The traps were positive sets over den holes set a few feet apart.  Intermittent chucks can be gone for days or weeks, only to show up just as vegetables ripen […]
