Tube-Type Skunk Trap
![]() |
It's a 7-in. dia. aluminum tube that's 36 in. long and weighs 8 1/2 lbs.
"We got the idea after observing that skunks were using old flood irrigation pipe as dens," says inventor Darren Batman.
A door at one end of the trap has a spring-action trip mechanism that shuts and locks when a critter kicks a trigger while going for the bait. The other door has a reflective circle on it so you can check it from a distance with a flashlight.
Because the trap has solid sides, skunks can't spray or scratch you. They can be released live in another location or disposed of according to state regulations.
