The WCS™ Tube Trap™ is a very effective squirrel trap and has stood the test of time, now being on the market for over 20 years.  Constructed of 21-gauge steel, this tunnel shaped trap is 4.5 inches in diameter, 15 inches long, and is powered by a beefy double torsion spring.

Used either baited or non-baited, the Tube Trap is a natural attractant to squirrels and other rodents wanting to run through it or hide in it. Once the squirrel reaches the triggering pan in the middle of the trap, and steps on it, the double torsion spring triggers the strike bar. When a capture is made, the squirrel is generally hidden from public view.  There is a built in safety latch which prevents the trap from prematurely firing while setting.

IMPORTANT:  Please stake down the trap to minimize possibility of theft by a larger animal, i.e., coyote.

Caution: The WCS™ Tube Trap is a lethal trap, use special care when and where setting.

The WCS TUBE TRAP™ is 15 inches long, 4.5 inches in diameter, made of 21-gauge steel, and powered by a "beefy" double torsion spring. The parts are all precision cut by laser so there are no sharp edges. This trap can be used in either a baited or un-baited manner, as the trap itself is an attractant, squirrels want to either run through it or hide in it. When a capture is made, the squirrel is generally hidden from public view. CAUTION - This is a lethal trap, use special care when and where setting. Use the SAFETY hook when positioning the trap, and take it off only when the trap is in the target capture location. DIRECTIONS: Select appropriate location to position trap by monitoring squirrel travel ways. Familiarize yourself with the Trap’s Parts: 1. Trigger (Dog) - floppy L-shaped piece attached to the bracket. 2. Pan back - the cap piece screwed to the bracket attached to the Pan 3. Bracket - the piece soldered to the bottom of the tube. The rod with coils springs, the pan and trigger are all attached to the bracket. 4. Tube - round steel body of the trap 5. Coil springs - springs attached to the strike bar mechanism 6. Strike Bar - metal bar inserted into trap that looks like a handle 7. Pan - located inside tube where animal sets off trap. 8. Safety - a hook next to the trigger that can hold the strike bar in place while the trap is set. CAUTION - If using bait, apply inside trap on tube wall above pan BEFORE setting the trap, or make sure the SAFETY is latched over the strike bar while applying the bait when in the set position. SETTING DIRECTIONS: To set the trap, position the trap in front of you with the Strike Bar and the Coil Springs next to your body. The Trigger and Pan Back should be jutting out on the other side of the tube away from your body. See trap pictured above. Flip the Trigger and the Safety so they are both pointing up toward the ceiling. Press down the Strike Bar, with the palms of your hands, so that it touches the Bracket. While holding down the Strike Bar, take a finger and flip the Trigger over the Strike Bar then flip the Pan Back so it slips over the Trigger end. The Strike Bar applies tension on the trigger and pan back. Now you are able to flip the Safety over the Strike Bar to make transporting the trap easier and safer. DO NOT STICK FINGERS INSIDE. The TRAP IS NOW SET…. use caution when positioning. DO NOT dry fire trap as this may cause damage to the strike bar and tube. PAN ADJUSTMENT: You can adjust the pan sensitivity by adjusting the location of the trigger (dog) in the Pan Back. Push up the Pan Back to make the pan less sensitive. Position the very end of trigger into the back of the pan to make it more sensitive. This also lowers the pan inside the trap.
