Best used for:Havahart® X-Small 2-Door Trap Corral small nuisance animals safely and humanely with this Havahart® X-Small 2-door trap. This 10 x 3 x 3-inch animal trap is best for mice, voles, and shrews and is made of sturdy, rust-resistant galvanized steel for strength and repeated use.Created by Trapping Professionals This X-Small 2-door animal trap has been tested in the field and designed by animal trapping experts. It's built to target and trap small animals like mice, shrews, and voles easily, as the intelligent construction ensures small animals can't outsmart or avoid it. A sensitive trip plate can successfully capture the smallest animals, and the mesh openings are small, ensuring bait isn't stolen.Easy Operation
- Find a place for the trap in an area the animal seems to frequent, such as areas of your yard or garden they are digging up.
- Camouflage the trap slightly with surrounding debris, such as dirt, grass, leaves, or twigs.
- Place a bit of nuts or seeds around the outside of the trap to entice these small animals and encourage them to walk inside.
- Next, dig a small hole underneath the trap for placing bait. You can also place bait under the trigger. Wherever it's placed, it ensures the animal has to work harder to access the food, making it more likely they'll trip the spring mechanism.
- Set the trap with the doors open and wait to catch your critter.
Safe Trapping Solution for You and the Animal The solid doors and hand guards on this Havahart® X-Small 2-Door Trap help protect you from making contact with the tiny varmint inside. For the animal, strong doors keep them safe inside the cage and the smooth, rolled internal edges prevent them from injuring themselves if they become anxious and attempt to escape.2-Door Construction is Effective and Versatile A 2-door animal trap lets you create a clear path through the trap from one side to the other and provides a clear line of sight for the animal, increasing the odds of a successful capture. Place it against a wall or along a critter's path to ensure you can trap them from either direction. Multiuse animal traps from Havahart® are designed with premium galvanized steel that's corrosion and rust-resistant, ensuring they withstand weather conditions and any potential struggling an animal might attempt.Havahart® X-Small 2-Door Trap Product Details Do you want to know more helpful details about the Havahart® X-Small 2-Door Trap?

Review Rate Great when they workI like these humane traps as they do not kill or injure the mice BUT sometimes they do not work properly and remain open - it is difficult to set them properly especially when they get older and either the trap remains open or the door/s do not latch properly. I have tried to adjust the springing mechanism and the door latches as advised by online reviews with some success but it does not always work. I have extra ones so I can use the number I need to catch and release the mice while I try to get the others to work. Overall it is still he best solution I have.

Review Rate A lifetime of HavahartsI have been using Havahart live traps for over 50 years and always get excellent performance from the products. As a vertebrate field biologist I purchased and used the traps for college level courses and my own research at four different institutions. Now, in retirement, I purchase my own traps to catch and release critters around my home and shop. These traps last almost a lifetime, but I have had them stolen and borrowed without return so just keep purchasing them!

Review Rate Poor designTrips every night with no squirrel inside. Old model with guillotine door is way better, too bad I can’t find them anymore. Waste of money.

Review Rate It works!!Great trap! Used on chipmunks and was using unshelled peanuts as bait and using the 1 door option. Put 1 nut in the back by the closed door and 1 just inside the open door. In 2 days I got the 3 chipmunks that I've seen. I'll still keep the trap set encase there's more.

Review Rate Excellent humane mousetrapWorking well so far catching mice and I have placed bait in the "kept open" traps until they feel secure in going in. Then off they go to a new location in an area far away from homes. Closing up entry to the house is necessary to keep the critters out. Good and humane product.

Review Rate Great product - after slight modificationAs others have said, these are terrific traps with a bit of modification. Straight out of the box, they are nearly impossible to avoid triggering from any motion at all - very frustrating. The wire coming off of the bait pan is flattened, but not as much as it should be. Or, the door trigger wire that rests under the bait pan wire is completely round, and needs to be flattened some. Filing the door trigger end is probably the best solution, but I've found a bit of sand papering or a smashing of that with a pair of pliers works some too. We're catching voles at our organic farm, and trying to avoid killing shrews (voles are horribly destructive, but shrews are beneficial). These are pretty helpful. If you're there when the critter gets trapped, you can decide if it's a vole or shrew and act accordingly. Otherwise it's about the same as the lethal traps in that whatever gets caught in there will be dead in 24 hours one way or another. In our case it's about 99% voles, so still doing the job.

Review Rate The mouse have your number. The trap is their safe place.My cat would bring in mice for us to play with. We caught several of them, but many escaped and the cat lost interest. Go forward several months. We now have many mice. I bought two of these mice traps and set them up. They just did not work. I placed peanut butter covered dog food on the center to make the mouse work and the trap work, but the mice ate the bait and left the traps open. I have a mouse right now who runs into the trap on my desk to watch me. The trap does not trip. I pushed one door down, they both went down, but not all the way. The mouse ran out. Now he uses the trap to laugh at me and eat the bait. Many years ago I have one of your traps and it worked wonderously well. The mouse ran in and stepped on a plate that flipped him into a holding area. I took them outside and let the loose in the fields. This trap I have now does not work. I just reset it a few minutes ago, carefully, the mouse ran back in, did not close, I tapped it, one door closed, the other didn't, the mouse ran out giggling.
Response From Havahart®Kathryn : Consumer Relations RepresentativeHello Roberta,
We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with this feedback! Your comments have been shared with our Product Managers. When the trap is set as a two-door trap, both doors should shut completely when the trap is tripped. These traps are covered by a 30-day guarantee and a 1-year warranty with a copy of the purchase receipt. Please feel free to contact our Consumer Relations Team at 1-855-5-HAVAHART (1-855-542-8242) with any questions. We are happy to help!

Review Rate Great trapsBottom line they catch mice. Way superior to conventional traps. They were a little awkward setting up at first. I could not get both doors to work properly so just went with one and it worked nicely. I am catching more mice than I ever had. I suspect I am catching the same ones again and again. The dilemma now is to what to do with them after I catch them. I highly recommend using this product.
