Havahart® Xsmall 2-Door Trap

Havahart® Xsmall 2-Door Traps have been designed with the safety of the small animals in mind. These live traps, with two spring loaded doors, have many features to allow safe, quick and easy catches.

Havahart® Xsmall 2-Door Traps are constructed of sturdy rust-resistant wire mesh with steel reinforcements for long life and galvanized for maximum resistance to rust and corrosion.

Mesh openings are smaller than competing traps of comparable size. Two spring loaded doors allow animals to enter from either direction. Sensitive triggers ensure quick, secure captures that target the specific animal's size,eliminating undesired catches.

Solid doors and handle guards protect users during transportation while smoothed internal edges protect and prevent injuries to animals. These traps are made in the U.S.A.
