Little Wolf Trapping Supply LLC out of Manawa, Wi. His company has a Facebook page, but I don't think a website.

Believe it or not the double door have a hearts 5x5x18 are great. I use them in structures, flyers take to them well. Ground trapping I use full size 11x12x36 and the 5x5's together. Safeguard is my prefered brand for full sized cages.

Depends on the kind of squirrels you have. For fox squirrels, I want at least a 6 in. square by 18 in. long. I have watched Fox squirrels try to dig under 5 in. square traps, but not go in. Will send you a pm

I am trapping/excluding grey squirrels here in Augusta GA

With the above set from tomahawk I will still have to make some type of cone to fit into a gutter...

The most indestructible sq. cage I've seen is the AAC Proline. The next best is probably the WCS Special. Their ad is right above these posts.

Here's a link for you. The first two on the page are my favorites for grays and reds.

You asked for the best. This may not be a good answer. But it is something to consider. We have a mixture of traps but we are gravitating to the cheapest trap that we can lay our hands on.
We had one of our many university students run over a large 12 X 36 safeguard. + more + more.
I would have thought it would be pretty hard to get a trap that big under a truck tire. But....But.....But.

Anybody else have lethal set ups for grays they prefer besides tubes? I use cages now (mostly swing panels) but would like some lethal options for out-of-town jobs to avoid daily check. Daily checks are not efficient for absentee homeowners.

I always go with a lethal trap if possible. Tube traps are my favorite but "mink boxes" are good too. I use 120 Victors in the boxes.

Rat traps work too. Im not talking about muskrat, but the wood plated $2 Victor rat trap in the mouse trap aisle. The guy puts them in a homemade box. He drives a few 1" drywall screws up through the wood. It helps hold even a gray squirrel.

I use rat traps in weasel boxes, for reds. Are grays fussy about trigger wires in a mink box type set up. I was thinking coni-pans might be the ticket. I may have to try and report back...
