Helpfulness
Hopes Dashed
Oct 22, 2023
I had high hopes of resolving an armadillo problem, so purchased two large Havaheart 2-door traps. While I have successfully channeled animals into the traps, when sprung the door lock-rod often fails to engage with the tang. Consequently, the door opens as soon as the animal pushes against it. I have fiddled with the rods, taped rocks to the door for weight, and have increased the traps' ratio of successfully locking both doors 1 out of 5 times, to 1 out of three times. I had hoped for better performance than this. I would not recommend this trap or Havaheart.

I have caught 5 woodchucks so far this year and on 2 occasions there were 2 in the same trap at the same time. The new design of the trap from a number of years ago is a tremendous upgrade. Kudos to the design team.
I put the trap outside a burrow and get the desired results very soon. I put cloths over the top in the open where they are grazing if I can't locate their burrow and they can't seem to resist it after awhile. I don't even use bait. I hope not to beat my record of 9 from several years ago.

We are very pleased with this item. It is sturdy and is as advertised. My neighbor had a problem with rats and so we decided to put this trap out. We are very pleased.
Not recommended.

Shipping was fast but unfortunately the box trap I received does not work as advertised. I am trapping groundhogs and although I have had groundhogs in the trap they are able to push the trap doors open. I switched to another trap provided by a friend who has trapped for over 40 years, a much more heavy duty trap, and it was effective. My friend's comment about Havahart traps based on years of trapping experience, "Not recommended'.
I almost never offer reviews of products but this product simply did not work.

The product we ordered was described as fully assembled. When we opened the carton, we found a long rod in the bottom of the box. There was nothing in the instructions to describe where the rod was supposed to go. We were unable to properly assemble the rod and activate the two door trigger. We returned the item and are awaiting the credit to our account.

I had one of these traps for many years. Lately it had caught something that was able to tear it up. It had been very successful
over the years with armadillos. So I replaced it with another of your
traps and hope for the same success.
