Havahart® Large 1-Door Trap

This groundhog trap is ideal for trapping raccoons, stray cats, groundhogs (woodchucks), opussums and armadillos.

Havahart® Large 1-Door Traps, designed and used by professional trappers, have one spring loaded door for safe, secure catches. Animal control officers also trust and use these live raccoon and groundhog traps -- so can you!

Havahart® Large 1-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 of our groundhog traps are smaller than competing traps of comparable size to prevent escapes and stolen bait. Spring loaded doors and sensitive triggers ensure quick, secure captures that target the specific animal's size, eliminating undesired catches.

Solid doors and handle guards of our ground hog traps protect users during transportation, while smoothed internal edges protect and prevent injuries to animals. These raccoon and groundhog traps are made in the U.S.A.
