Whether it's your first time capturing a nuisance animal or you're an experienced trapper, the Havahart® X-Large 1-Door Trap provides the strength and durability you need with the effective trapping mechanisms you want. This catch-and-release trap is designed to help you capture and relocate larger problem animals on your property.
Suitable for Large Animals
Safely trap large animals like raccoons, foxes, armadillos, and even lost cats and dogs with this Havahart® X-Large 1-Door Trap. It has a heavy-duty cage to withstand escape attempts, and the sensitive trip plate has been tuned to the more substantial weight of these animals to help eliminate false triggers or the capture of smaller animals.
Safe & Easy Operation
This live animal trap has been designed so trappers of all levels can easily operate it. Just place the bait around the entrance to the trap and in a small hole underneath the trap close to the trigger and set the door to open.
Rolled edges and an extra-strength door lock keep large animals safe after capture even if they're thrashing around or trying to chew or claw through the trap, and the solid handle guard and double steel carrying handles keep your hands a safe distance away from the animal.
Heavy Duty Construction
When it comes to larger animals like bobcats and raccoons, a heavy-duty trap is essential to a safe, humane capture. This 1-door live animal trap is constructed with one-piece, 12-gauge steel wire mesh with steel reinforcements to be able to stand up to larger wild animals, and its galvanized finish makes it weather-resistant.

This is a very well made large trap. We had a very big and smart Raccoon that broke 2 other cages. We caught him and then he broke the cages to get out before we got to him. Had it on camera. He did not get out of this x-large strong cage! I highly recommend this one!

Poor build - Animals Easily Escape!

Dec 4, 2024
The animal I trapped was able to easily escape.
I have a fox that has been trying to kill my chickens. After a few days, I was able to lure him in and trap him in this XL cage trap, but he escaped shortly after I caught him by breaking the rear of the trap wide open. The flimsy metal clips holding the cage together were scattered around on the ground around the rear of the trap. I had a trail camera set on the trap, and I caught him at just after 4 AM and he was able to break out and was gone when I came to relocate him shortly after 6 AM.
The fox was only about the size of a large house cat and will now be much harder if not impossible to trap, making my problem worse. I've used the smaller models of Havahart traps for years and have never had any issues like this. It's sad that the quality has declined so much on these traps.
I called and Havahart says they will replace the trap, which is nice, but at this time, they are out of stock without any idea when they'll be back, and they won't backorder them for a replacement. They suggested that I either watch their website for when they're back in stock to call back or return the trap to Home Depot instead.
Beaver ALMOST took the bait but tore the trap door off. Now I need to figure how to put the door back together so I can try it again. Maybe second time I will be lucky...
Thank you for sharing this feedback. We're sorry to hear about this experience when using this trap. We have shared these concerns with our Product Manager for review. It has a 30 day return policy. We recommend reaching out to your local retailer for additional information assistance.

Good quality heavy duty trap that can handle LARGE coons that can and will destroy a lesser duty trap. Had to tweek the trigger a little on one to get it to trip easier (not a problem).
very disapointed in the quality of this trap. the first coon I caught and transported tore the gate off. i did rebuild with heavy materials. definatly not the same quality as my old havahart trap (MAYBE 40 YEARS OLD).
We are sorry to hear about this Robert! Our traps are designed to stand up against the target animals, but sometimes they are especially destructive! Please keep in mind that our traps are backed by a one year warranty. Feel free to contact us directly for assistance. - Susan

I bought the beaver trap and caught a large beaver. It was in the trap for 3 hours or so before it chewed some of the latches and got out. Does not seem well made.

I have this large trap and have only used it once. I cannot get the trip plate to work the trap door. Everything is connected as it was when i bought it. there is a possibility of the shaft of the L rod being bowed slightly. Could that be the cause? If so, can it be replaced? Saving cat lives here. PLease help!

I hope this message finds you well. Here are a few troubleshooting steps to ensure the proper functioning of the trap mechanism:
Check for Obstructions: Ensure that there is nothing blocking the moving parts of the trap. Any debris or obstruction could prevent it from operating smoothly.
Test the Rod's Movement: Manually push on the L-rod and trip plate to check if it engages the door correctly. This will help you confirm if the components are working as intended.
Straighten the Rod: If you notice that the rod is slightly bent, you can try gently straightening it with pliers to restore its proper function.
