The Havahart® Large 1-Door Live Animal Trap is designed by trapping experts to be the most effective, reliable and durable trap of its kind. It is carefully constructed with a fine-tuned tripping mechanism that specially targets heavier critters like cats and raccoons - eliminating false triggers - and a powerful trap door that delivers quick, secure captures.
Simple to Operate
You don't have to be a pro to use this Havahart® large trap. Its design allows users of all experience levels to trap, transport, and release raccoon-sized animals with very little effort.
For You: A solid door and handle guard protect you from contact with a trapped animal, and the carrying handle allows you to hold the trap away from your body while an animal is inside.
For the Animal: A strong door lock keeps the animal safely inside the trap, while smooth, rolled internal trap edges prevent injuries to animals as they are being transported, or as they struggle to escape.
Havahart® Traps are Built to Last
Havahart® builds the strongest, most durable traps with premium materials, intended to endure harsh weather and unpredictable animal behavior. Traps are constructed of industrial-strength, one-piece wire mesh, which is galvanized for maximum resistance to rust and corrosion. A solid door and steel reinforcements add to the durability of the trap, ensuring an even longer trap life.

It is a very sturdy trap for up to housecat and raccoon size animals. A very large raccoon might need something bigger. Setting the trap door is simple and the release works with only light pressure. I expect this trap to last for several years and capture many unwanted animals for relocation.

From day one the trapdoor tends to remain open while rabbits and squirrels eat the nuts, carrots, and/or apple slices. I am very disappointed with your trap and will never by another one and I will not recommend the Havahart trap to others,
New model 1085 does not ...allow the trip plate to rise high ebouth to spring the door closed. There is no rear access to set bait or clean.

The new model 1085 trigger mechanism linkage is too loose so the trip plate lays flat on the bottom regardless of where the sensitivity knob is set. The wire rope cable on the older trap was better.
New model 1085 does not have an access from the rear of the trap to set bait in place or for cleaning.
I recently ordered a second Model 1079 trap. Our original older Havahart works great, but we needed to set traps in two locations on our property, so we came back to the Havahart brand. The new trap is very similar to the old one, but I'm very disappointed in the quality of the trap door. The door metal seem thinner; it's not reinforced as well as in the older model; and in the closed position, the door is not centered within the frame of the trap, causing it to shift side to side during set-up. Therefore, I'm not confident that this trap will securely hold a larger animal.
I called Havahart to ask about their return policy, and the company will not consider a return for refund unless I have tried catching an animal within 30 days of receiving the trap to confirm that the trap does or does not work properly. Unfortunately, I didn't open the shipping box immediately because the raccoons had stopped tearing up our lawn. The trap is in its as-shipped and labeled new condition, so it will go into storage for now.
The Havahart brand is still better than most, so I would recommend their traps for a first-time purchaser.
Raccoon bent the door lock frame and escaped.
I need to replace the inadequate wire frame with something stronger.
Have you beefed up this frame and if so do you sell this part.
Seems a shame to have to buy a new one .
Bought my furst Havahart, size 3 (12x12x36) for $20 new in 1962 when Havahart was in Ossining, NY. 've used four different sized traps to catch everything you could imagine. Quality, sturdy traps that are fun to use. I don't think they will EVER wear out!

The trap has sharp edges around the entry door. Razor sharp. For the price paid, it should have been de-burred.
Thank you for your feedback. Your comments are important to us and have been shared with the Product Manager for further consideration! This trap is designed with smoothed internal edges to prevent injuries to animals.

bought this trap and the animal escaped after setting it the first time. animal push the trap open and went into my attic. The lock is not very good. The design needs to be redone and the mechanism needs to be changed for locking.
