Another Competitor’s Cage Failurre

Above is another example of a very typical not so heavy duty cage trap, the type of trap that has been around for years with few significant changes or improvements.  The lock bar is light duty, allowing the equally light duty door to twist and the coon to...

Flush Mount Squirrel Traps

Not only do the newest double door, swing panel traps catch critters coming or going from either direction, because of internal doors they will easily flush mount against a vertical opening.  Just yesterday I had a squirrel job where the squirrels had chewed the...

Testimonial Otter Trap User

We just got a call from a older fellow from the midwest.  He was 84 and his wife 75.  Otter were destroying their pond raised fish.  Though they had used body gripping traps to catch one otter previously, the body grippers were difficult to set and of...

In between sized Beaver Traps, 12x15x33

Last fall I made several 12x15x33 inch beaver cage traps to see how small I could push it and still catch in a trap with a large appearance.  The height was the standard 12, while the width was in between the 12×12 and the 12×18 at 12×15.  In...

Testimonial

I just received a call from Kenner, Louisiana minutes ago.   A trapper called to say how happy he was about catching his first beaver on a first try at a culvert in the 12x18x39 Comstock beaver trap, something we hear all the time.  Though he fell in, got...

Why we don’t use or sell light duty traps

Jim Horton posted this picture of a raccoon disaster.  It shows the reason why not to buy cheap mail order or hardware store cage traps.  The client set this trap for a raccoon that had gotten into his house.  As you can see he caught the coon, but only...

Pictures of Skunks in positive and trail sets today, without bait.

The pictures show 3 of 4 double door 9x11x18 Comstock Cage Traps set for skunks during the late winter breeding season, each one of them with a skunk.  Skunks were living under the house and had sprayed.  Two traps were set side by side in baitless positive...
