We've made removing nuisance animals from your yard as easy as it can get!
The durable, rust resistant Easy Set® Trap from Havahart® lets you set and release with just one hand, keeping you far away from the captured animal. The trap features a solid plate covering the top and doors that serves as a hand guard to limit contact with the animal.
A sturdy door lock ensures that the animal won’t escape while the smoothed interior edges protect it from harm. To top off Easy Set® traps, a rigid, plastic carry handle makes it easy to transport, holding it away from your body. When it’s time to release, just stand to the rear of the trap and open the door using the patented, safe-release lever on top. Easy Set® traps are perfect for first time trappers – one simple move and the trap is set!
Spring-loaded doors and sensitive triggers ensure quick, secure captures that target the specific animal's size, preventing undesired catches. Simply bait the trap following the easy instructions included, and place it outside at dusk, the best time to attract raccoons and other critters.

Animal Trapping Tips
• Check traps frequently.
• Trapped animals should not be left out in the elements as they can die from prolonged exposure to heat and cold.
• When catching animals inside, place the trap along walls, under stairs or where you suspect they are entering the building.
• Consult your local game commission for rules and regulations on how and where wildlife may be released.
LIVE ANIMALTRAPPING FAQs
Q: What bait should I use for my target animal?
A: Squirrels: Cereal, grains, nuts (especially peanuts) sunflower seeds, anise oil (a drop or two on bread), shelled corn, or apples Armadillos: Meal worms, other worms, or insects enclosed in a little cloth bag, maggots, or sardines Chipmunks: Prune pits, un-roasted peanuts, corn, sunflower seeds, peanut butter, cereal, grains, or popcorn Groundhogs: Fresh string beans, sweet corn, lettuce, peas, cantaloupe, strawberries, cucumbers, peaches, or vanilla extract Opossums: Vegetables, sweet apples, chicken entrails, sardines, crisp bacon, or canned cat food Skunks: Chicken entrails, cracknels, fish-canned or fresh-insect larvae such as may beetles, crisp bacon, or cat food Porcupines: Apples, salt, or carrots Rabbits: Fresh vegetables (brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrots, lettuce), or apples. In the wintertime, bread is a good bait. Spraying the inside of the trap with apple cider is also effective. Stray Cats: Fish, meats, oil of catnip, sardines, canned tuna, or chicken Raccoons: Fish, fresh or canned, honey or sugar covered vegetables, smoked fish, watermelon, sweet corn, cooked fatty meat, crisp bacon, or marshmallow.
Q: Okay, I've safely caught the animal, now what should I do?
A: We recommend contacting the Humane Society, or the local or state game commission to determine the lawful method of releasing a captured wild or nuisance animal before setting the trap. Many species are protected by law in various states.
Q: What are the advantages of using a 2 door trap versus a 1 door trap?
A: Most people use two-door traps with more cautious animals like squirrels. The thought is that if the animal can see an unblocked path through the trap (since both doors are open), they will have more confidence entering the cage. On the other hand, one door traps allow the animal to walk further in and past the trip plate. Havahart traps offer both one-door and two-door Easy Set Traps to satisfy all customers.
Q: Where should I place the bait?
A: Place some bait on top of the trip plate and some more under the trip plate. You can also place the bait just above the trip plate on the ceiling of the trap. You can even secure or fasten the bait to the mesh by using string or a garbage bag twist tie. This forces the animal to stand on the trigger plate in order to reach the bait. It’s important that the bait isn’t placed in an area where the animal can reach it through the mesh without entering the trap.
Q: What should I do if I catch a skunk?
A: First, find an old cloth, towel or sheet that can be used to cover the trap. Next, approach the trap cautiously, holding the trap covering in front of you. Make sure the covering extends to the ground while holding it - don't let the skunk see your feet coming as this may alarm the animal. When you're close enough to the trap, gently cover the trapped animal--trap and all.
We have a neutered outdoor cat who sleeps and eats in our garage. Three times now we have found opossums sharing his food, and all three times this trap (baited with cat food) caught them within hours. I release them by a creek in the woods miles from here, and they are totally unharmed. Happy to be free, yes. The cat is too smart to enter the trap, so I wouldn't use it on strays. Maybe a different style of trap would work for that.

Havahart® Consumer Relations Response:
Dear Tom,
Thank you for taking the time to submit an online review for the Havahart® Easy Set® Small 2-Door Animal Trap (model #1062). This size trap is recommended for rabbits, skunks and squirrels. Have you been able to determine what kind of animal is frequenting your trap? It is possible that a raccoon or opossum may be to blame and unfortunately this trap is a bit on the small size for these critters so they can reach in, steal the bait, and then back out.
With that being said, we do have some tips for you to try ... sometimes animals can get their tails stuck in the door giving them the ability to back out of the trap because the door lock did not fully engage. To prevent this, it is recommended to set your trap as a one door trap and place (or even tie) your bait at the far closed end of the trap. This will require the animal’s body to be completely enclosed inside the trap when it is set off. The second tip you can try is to place the bait (like peanut butter) inside of a small tube (pvc pipe) and hang it above the bait tray. This will force the animal to enter the trap fully and engage the trigger pan.
Hopefully these tips help you to nab that pesky critter! If you have questions or need assistance please do not hesitate to contact our Consumer Relations Team at the following:
