Reviews for Havahart® Large 1-Door Animal Trap

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.

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…

my trap works great except i lost the spring for the door lock down bar ? shouldnt lend it out i guess ??? where can i get a replacement or maybe even the newer style ?

Bought this same trap as 1 from 20 years ago but it doesn't work as well. I have lost 2 out of 3 coons so far. The latch doesn't drop down far enough when the door shuts so all they have to do is keep banging the bottom of the door until the trap door rod slips past the latch. The depth of the latch isn't deep enough like the old trap to keep the door from being opened. I originally bought the $50 one that said was made in China and they broke it the 1st night so I took it back and bought the one make in USA hoping for better results since it was 40% more. Guess I will have to reengineer this to see if I can make it work better like the old one!!! Old one is 100% unless it gets tipped over, this one 33% so far!!! I'll see what I can do and report on the possible fix and results. Tried to add a picture but said it was too large.

live in the city and last year I trapped 12 racoons and this year already I caught 13. There is a small creek nearby so apparently, they travel down the creek and into neighborhoods. This trap is safe and effective and easy to move to my truck and then out to the woods. I throw an old sheet over it so the racoon can be more at ease and the sheet is great in transporting to final destination. Don't forget to use a leather glove for added protection. The large 1 door animal trap has plenty of room for the racoon to settle down. The racoon is quiet and content when found and released.

Works great! Very good investment!!

Our experience with purchasing from this company was great. Product order arrived in a timely matter and no issues with it. If I needed another product that they sell I would definitely order from them again.

Very happy with the purchase of the Havahart Large 1 Door Animal Trap. I had a problem with rabbits eating my hydrangea plants. I baited the trap with some leafy lettuce greens and dehydrated apple rings. In 7 days I trapped 7 rabbits. Will keep the trap out all winter and spring.
