Tube Tunnel Squirrel Trap - 15in Long, 21-Gauge Steel, Rust-Resistant | WCS

Overview

Introducing the Tube Tunnel Squirrel Trap from WCS, a purpose-built solution designed for outdoor rodent management. The device measures 15 inches in length with a 4.5-inch diameter tunnel and is crafted from durable 21-gauge steel that resists rust in exposed environments. Whether used with bait or without, the tunnel acts as a natural attractant to squirrels and other small rodents, guiding them toward the central pan for capture. This design emphasizes straightforward use and reliable performance in real-world yards, gardens, and defensible spaces.

How it works

The trap relies on a beefy double torsion spring that is triggered when an animal steps onto the center pan. This action is designed to secure the target quickly and discreetly, with the captured animal typically hidden from public view. A built-in safety hook adds a layer of handling security during setup and inspections, helping you manage the trap with care as needed.

Real-world use and considerations

In outdoor spaces such as yards, near bird feeders, trash areas, walls, and crawl spaces, the Tube Trap can reduce nuisance visits by squirrels and other rodents. Its long, tunnel-style design is intended to be an attractive option that animals may explore, with the central pan delivering a decisive action when triggered. While this trap offers clear utility, remember to operate with care and awareness of your surroundings. This is a lethal trap, so set up and use with appropriate precautions and local guidelines in mind.

Usage tips

• Place the trap away from high-traffic areas and ensure it is oriented along common animal paths
