Thanks Epicatt2. That tube trap looks good and well made. It looks rustproof? No, must paint it or buy the stainless steel version
If I buy one, I will buy at your site. It has a better price.
For reviews here it is at Amazon for about $10 more>

At Amazon a complaint that it rusts. There is a stainless steel version costs more, or paint the non-stainless version.
Also a review that heaps praise on it>>>>
RUSTED
By Real person, fake name on July 18, 2017
Started to rust immediately. They use regular metal that is prone to corrosion and rust. This would all be solved if they used something such as stainless steel. Pictures attached. With this much rust after about 1 month, this thing will not last a year. Waste of money. Why would I buy something that will just rust? I want to keep it forever but apparently you can't,... Jook at the pictures. see less
Don't waste your money on any other squirrel trap
By Jerry Asbell on March 9, 2016
This is a great trap. I started using this trap in the middle of winter and worked great. I place the trap on top of our privacy fence, which is connected to several other fences and properties. I refer to the fence as the squirrel highway. I use peanut butter as bait and works great in the winter time, but have some trouble with birds in the spring. Once the birds natural food source becomes more plentiful they start to leave it alone. Some folks have mentioned that they mount the trap on a board but that would be easier said than done because of the spring apparatus on the bottom. I set a ladder between the posts and use that. It does tend to rock back and forth a little but I shim one end with a little stick or something to stabilize the trap. I did this because I watched a squirrel hesitate because of this. Needless to say, I got that bugger the next day. Now, for setting the trap. You should always wear some gloves when messing with traps. You won't have trouble getting your hands caught in the trap but there is always a chance of getting pinched. I set the trap on the ground in front of me and push the kill bar down and set the dog. It's pretty easy and doesn't require superman strength. Now there are two models to choose from. I got the standard one that does rust, but seems to blend in well with the surroundings and the rust doesn't seem to hamper the traps functionality. You can spend a little more and get the stainless steel one. You can also use it on the ground as well and the openings aren't big enough for pets to get into. The more you use the trap the better you get at it. I highly recommend this trap.[[ASIN:B00K6JKVK4 Tube Trap Squirrel Trap (Standard)]] see less
