I use a solid fiberglass rod sold at Menards for use as a chimney-cleaning rod. They are about 4' long and 2 can be screwed together for a longer reach. They are smaller around and more rigid than PVC so you can get them into a cage trap easier. How you build them is you cut off one of the fittings from the end of rod with a hacksaw then using the hacksaw cut a cross into the end of the rod about 2" deep. Then cut the part of the syringe away where your thumb rests. This will make a corresponding cross on the back of syringe that will fit into the cross you cut into the pole. Slide it on the pole and epoxy it into place. Use a large diameter needle a # 16Gx1” and 10cc's of acetone in the syringe. The syringes and needles are from Tractor Supply (cheap). Feel free to PM me if you need to I know this can be hard to follow. I got this idea from someone on the trapperman web site I wish I could remember who? Use the large PVC tube for storage. Here are the pictures…. The whole rig including PVC and acetone was around $35. *Note: Don't try to use this for dispatch of more aggressive animals such as coons, fox, coyotes, etc... as you will end up with broken needles and bitten syringes.~ADC~

Just us a aluminum extending paint pole or window washing pole. Hot glue the end of the syringe to the end of the pole. Simple easy extends with a twist of the pole.
