Trapping Has Never Been Easier
Trapping has never been more simple than with Havahart® Easy Set® traps. Patented technology allows you to set your trap with just one hand, and let critters go without ever touching the door. Plus, updated sturdy hardware provides additional comfort and durability to this simple rabbit trap.
Set and Release with One Hand
Set this animal trap in just 1 simple step. Just pull on the patented Easy Set® lever to lock open the door, and it's ready for a catch. Best of all, the lever also allows you to release the animal while standing away from the trap, clear of the animal's escape path.

Enlarged Hand Guard and Carrying Handle Protect You
An enlarged steel plate covers the entire width of the top of the trap, protecting your hand from contact with the animal, and the updated, rigid plastic carrying handle makes the handling experience even more comfortable for you.
Rolled Metal Edges Protect the Animal
Like other Havahart® traps, this one is constructed of one-piece wire mesh, galvanized for resistance to rust and corrosion. And edges are polished smooth to protect the animal from injuring itself during transport or as it struggles to escape.
No-Escape Door Locks Give You Peace of Mind
The tight spring-loaded door features an updated door lock with added reinforcements, making your trap more escape-proof than ever.

Works Well & Easy To Set!
Apr 26, 2019
This trap works extremely well! Used it to catch and relocate a bunch of nuisance squirrels from my yard..caught 5 just in the first 2 days! It is so easy to use..no fidgeting to set it, just pull the handle back on the top. I tied a peanut in the shell with a twisty tie behind the trip plate just in case the trap wasn't as sensitive. This way when they struggle with the nut, it would trip the plate. I spread a bit of peanut butter on the peanut and placed some sunflower seeds inside the trap and outside the entrance. Worked like a charm every time!

Easy to set, but 'small' animals escape easily
Jul 29, 2024
Easy to set, but 'small' animals escape easily. The wire cage has holes which allow chipmunks/squinnies to escape. I've caught two critters in my garden in a row where the chipmunk would eat the bait and set off the trap. It would be in the cage when I approached. I'd pick the trap up to relocate the animal, and it would squeeze through the holes in the cage and escape. For 'small' animals, the trap should probably have a finer gauge mesh to prevent easy escape...likely I will zip-tie some fine mesh steel wire to the cage to make it a bit better for my pests.
This product is outstanding.

This product is outstanding. Usually I don't mind squirrels in my yard, however, I found the need to acquire the trap after experiencing several squirrels on my roof attempting to gain entry into the attic through the vents. I relocated over 20 squirrels (I stopped counting there were so many) over the course of the last 6 weeks. It is a bit of a trial and "see what works" exercise, but I found peanuts placed in the rear of the trap (but not so far back that they can use their skillful claws to obtain them) and peanut butter on the far end of the trip plate works like a charm. Once they are caught I recommend place a towel or other type of cloth over the entire trap for transport to the relocation site them as the darkness the cloth provides calms them (and throw in a bunch of peanuts or nutty granola balls so they are well fed on release. I also had the same release site for all the squirrels I caught, so I kept the squirrel families together. Hopefully they will make a successful transition because they are beautiful animals (I just don't want them tenants in my attic!). Your local Fish and Wildlife Centre can also advise you on a release site and local catch and release rules specific to your area.
I bought two of these ...
Apr 7, 2023
I bought two of these traps some years ago and they were so dysfunctional that I tossed them in the trash. The problem is that the handy dandy "easy set" either will not stay set or is set so hard that small critters don't trip it. I am a fan of HavaHart traps, have used them for many years, and am using them now. But not this easy set model. Don't wast your money on it.
Terrible design.
Nov 24, 2022
Terrible design. I have bought many chipmunk traps. This one was way over-engineered and does not work! Will not stay open even when I set it inside where there is no interference. Buy 2 model 0745 for the same money. This was a very bad investment.

The model #1083 Small 1-door ...
Aug 8, 2022
The model #1083 Small 1-door animal trap helped me capture three squirrels, one of which ripped 7 window screens and was actually inside my kitchen.
Trap door won't stay open problem - I had a problem figuring out how to keep the trap door in the open position and could not find a solution from the instructions that came with the trap or from the Havahart website. Here is the solution that worked for me: Pull the easy set lever on the top to open the trap door. Turn the tension plate screw/bolt counterclockwise until the trap door stays in the open position. Then turn the tension plate screw/bolt clockwise until the trap door closes on its own. Repeat this process but this time turn the tension plate screw/bolt clockwise but just not enough to have the door close. The trap should now be set to catch your squirrel. Of course, you would adjust the tension screw/bolt differently if you had a heavier animal to catch.
What worked for me was putting peanut butter on the back part of the pressure plate in two places but also having a small amount in a small bowl so that the squirrel could sample what was on the pressure plate. I caught the three squirrels and one small skunk in three days! I hope this is helpful.
Q&A
