Safe for You and the Animal

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.

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.

Quality Not As Great As Older Models
3
Nov 13, 2024
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.

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.

You need to revise the suitability of this trap. An armadillo tore mine up and escaped. Your site says this trap is suitable for armadillos. It isn’t and now I am not sure it can be repaired to work.

We are sorry to hear that happened! It is always important to check your trap frequently as no animal should remain in a cage for an extended period of time. When it comes to armadillos, these animals are equipped with armor and are expert diggers! They are known to try to escape, digging into the bottom of the trap or even running into the trap walls. Monitor your trap frequently to ensure a safe and successful trap and release. Our traps are covered under a 1-year replacement policy. Please give us a call at 855-542-8242 for assistance.

I have two of your large animal traps - one a few decades old, and one brand new. I set the new trap last night for the first time, and found out this morning that the raccoon that was obviously in it overpowered the latch to the spring arm and escaped. Upon comparing the two traps, it’s obvious the new one was never going to keep a raccoon in it for very long. It’s been cheapened in materials, but not in cost. Looks like I’m fixing the old one…
