               We love baitless woodchuck trapping with our compact 18 and 24 inch long Comstock double door cage traps, especially when combined with sheet metal nose cones at dens. It’s not uncommon to make these positive sets and get a call a few hours later, “you have a woodchuck in every trap.” […]

This is what happens when you drop a Comstock Chimney Trap down a chimney. You catch a raccoon. This was the first try, first night after purchasing the C59Chim trap for a new Animal Damage Control Operator, ADC. Rather than this being the exception , first night catches are quite common.

Jesse from Washington shared this photo of a carrying strap she made to carry the Comstock 12x18x39 swim through beaver cage trap on her back.  It’s a lot easier when you have your hands free when hiking.  We also have made bungie cord carrying straps with all purpose clips to replace the factory S hooks.

First designed to clip onto a 9×11 Comstock Cage Trap, the Chimney Adapter fits securely onto a  Comstock Cage Trap extending down into the chimney 18 inches.  If a double door trap is used there is a chance of catching a raccoon entering the chimney as well as exiting, though many indicate 95% of the […]

Quite understandably, we have been asked any number of times whether or not skunks spray in the Comstock Wire Trigger/ Powered Door Cage Traps.  No is the short answer.   Since the powered doors close quickly, with some authority, having about 11 pounds of pressure, we can see why the question would arise.  You might […]

It’s that time of  year again, skunk breeding season.  Seems a bit early, but I guess pretty close to normal.  From mid February until early March around here they show up under houses, sheds etc.  The location pictured is one where they seem to be able to get right into the basement, which didn’t go […]

Though the 12x18x39 Comstock Beaver Cage Trap was designed to operate in and under water primarily for beaver and otter, it works fine on land, set standing up at 18 inches tall with the door closing sideways or flat at 12 inches high.  On land the beaver trap has no problem with raccoons, opossum, fox, […]

Thanks to Tim from Maine for sharing photos and his success story in catching a 30 pound bobcat in a 12×12 cage trap, which incidentally in a big cat.  Though many bobcat trappers would argue for taller traps for ‘cats, there is evidence that bobcats most definitely are not limited to entering only taller cage […]

We just received a photo of a monster 73 pound beaver caught in the “workhorse” 12x18x39 Comstock Beaver Trap, topping our best of 66 pounds.  We have caught 66’s a couple of times with quite a few above 60.  The 73 is the largest beaver we have seen caught in the Comstock Trap that was […]

The Armstrong boys making it look just too easy,  showing how its done with Comstock Beaver Cage Traps, catching a prime beaver.  Nice going guys!  Thanks for sharing the great photo.  Hope to see some more.
