WCS Tube Trap may become scarce

[Sonny Sixkiller 20]

The designer and manufacturer of WCS's tube trap, Robert C. Best, will no longer be wholesaling his trap to Wildlife Control Supplies.  Best invented the tunnel trap in 1985; the name was later changed to "tube" once the trap became affiliated with WCS.  What caused WCS and Best to cut ties is still unknown.  On the other hand, will WCS continue to provide traps to the UK?  Does Best have to reapply to STAO before marketing in the UK?

Black is the new rust resistant color... plus, there is a new smaller version... a 'Mini' tunnel targeting rats.  From what I have seen, this smaller trap has just as much power as the full size... with the addition of  longer coil springs, providing a stationary kill bar.
