Reviews for Havahart® X-Small 2-Door Trap

This trap seems 2/3's the way built, & it's up to the buyer to finish construction. The triggering mechanism seems unfinished with one wire flattened but the other left round and bent so as just the tip of the wire is touching the flat wire, so it has an annoying hair trigger that wastes alot of time trying to get it into position without popping the trap. Set-up was frustrating, and I had to do some crimping with pliers because it was so loose and poorly put together the little wires that secure the doors would just fall out.

Awesome trap, works very well with no malfunctions or rust at all this trap has caught so many mice and is very humane the traps 2 door system is very awesome and convenient to the mice so they dont have to work they just walk right in and pow!, i have relocated several mice from the truck to my creek great trap

this should function just like the larger Hav-a-hart traps work -[essentially not hard to figure out] as two opposing link rods Rub/seat together- and its friction contact only to set it. the "Flattened" area of both arms seat together- and the example I got- was totally missing the flattened area- of the lower arm. So indeed just about impossible to set it- granted the rods are of a small diameter- and somewhat may be hard to form a flat. ? but that is not the customers problem. in my case it was- i used hot glue tried to increase the seat area of both link arms - so did the best I could to "Fix"- what is obviously a very Crap- product- totally falls in the category of Chinese junk. If they all run like this i suggest it not even be sold- if my example was typical of this production Run- very frustrating-

The most effective mouse trap, humane or otherwise, I have ever used. Highly recommend. Be sure to read the instructions carefully though. It’s not idiot proof.

Do you people read your reviews? Those tiny instructions on the side of the box are woefully insufficient. No instructions in the box. I'm about to give up. Very frustrating and not a good introduction to your company.

I wanted to like these traps. I wanted to remove voles from my garden humanely. However these are almost impossible to set. The instructions are worthless. Unfortunately I will have to resort to mousetraps because unlike this product they actually work.

Definitely the "better mousetrap"! Bought two different types from another brand and the mice ate the bait and got out again. This one is inescapable and our little brown friends got taken from our home to a nice place in the woods a couple of miles away. Hole in the foundation found and closed and problem solved!

Bought the x small trap to get a shrew out of the house. It was caught within 30 minutes. In all fairness, we had managed to trap the shrew in a small room so it didn't need to go far to take the bait. But still, it works!! It did take me awhile to figure out how to set it. The videos online aren't helpful.

This is hands down the best trap I have ever purchased. Once one mouse has been trapped in it, often the smell of the former mouse attacks the next without any bate. I have lost count how many mice it has help me catch in my garages.

As many videos as we have watched showing how to set this trap (including one from Havahart), we cannot get it to work with both doors open. Either the instructions are not clear, or we have a trap that was not properly made.
