RC Best – Tube Trap for Squirrels Mink & Muskrat – The Original

The Original Tube Trap – Authentic RC Best Trap – Made In Pennsylvania  The RC Best 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. Caution: The RC Best Tube Trap is a lethal trap, use special care when and where setting. BAITING: There are two preferred ways of using the TUBE Trap in a baited fashion. First, using your favorite paste type bait smear some directly onto the triggering pan of the Tube trap. For added appeal, press some bird seed of sunflower seeds into the paste bait. Then take a 1/4″ piece of hardware cloth or screening and lay it on top of the triggering pan containing the bait and wrap the edges around the pan. The easiest way to do this is to grip it with your hand. This makes it harder for the squirrel to access the bait, and they have to work at it.  The second method involves smearing your favorite paste bait directly above the pan. To do this, turn the trap completely over, BEFORE SETTING IT, and smear the paste directly over the pan area. Then turn the trap back over and set it according to proper instructions.  Again, this makes the squirrel work for the bait as they will be focused on the bait, not on the triggering pan.
