Product description

The Havahart Large 1-Door Animal Trap is an all-metal cage that's been designed by professional trappers. It features a spring-loaded door for safe, secure catches. Animal control officers also trust and use these live animal traps -- so can you! Use it to trap raccoons, oppossums, skunks, armadillos, groundhogs and other similar-sized animals. Havahart one-door animal cage traps are constructed of sturdy, rust-resistant wire mesh with steel reinforcements and measure approximately 32.2 inches long. Each trap is built to last and galvanized for maximum resistance to rust and corrosion. This trap includes mesh openings that are smaller than competing traps of comparable size, which prevent escapes and stolen bait. A solid, locking door and sensitive trigger ensures quick, secure capture that targets a specific animal size while eliminating undesired catches. Solid handle guards also protect the user while transporting an animal. At the same time, smoothed internal edges protect and prevent the animal from injuring itself. These traps are made in the U.S.A.

User questions & answers

Question:	What have you put under it (to prevent bathroom accidents in your vehicle) during transportation
Answer:	I never transported an animal in it but I would think a heavy duty trash (approx 32 gal) around it with the top not tied would be sufficient.
Question:	why bait tray tripped, bait gone, no catch
Answer:	Depends on bait.... Birds and rats can get in and out without tripping the trap! I had to bend the wire at the top hook where it lockcs and it works fine. I always test it when I leave it. I have caught 12 Racoons...3 feral cats...and one neighbors trap. I have had the best luck with Fried Chicken left over bones, Marchmallows, and Reeses Peanut Butter cups.What amazies me is if caught with a couple of chicken bones as bait when I go to get the trap the Coon has eaten the entire bone.
Question:	What's the difference between "Havahart 1079 Live Animal Professional-Style One-Door Raccoon, Groundhog, Opossum, and Stray Cat..." and Havahart
Answer:	The only difference is that in the 1089, when you lift the handle, it automatically sets the trap or locks the door for the animal you are trying to catch. In the 1079, which I bought, you set the trap manually. I like being able to get the bait inside and every thing done before I set the spring on the door. I don't want my arm cought in it trying to get the bait set. If you are trying to catch raccoons, you will also need something to stabilize the cage. You would be surprised how a caccoon can roll the cage. Sue
Question:	What are the dimensions? I have a cat trap built the same way but i am afraid the raccoon might be too big for it
Answer:	That will depend upon the raccoon in question. I've caught a lot of woodchucks, opossum, squirrels, the occasional bird, and a skunk in my 1079 but have been having mixed results with a current raccoon problem--raccoons got into an attic. I caught a medium sized one right away and another a few days later. Unfortunately the second one flipped the trap over which released the gravity lock and it was able to escape. After that I wired the trap to the roof framing so it couldn't be moved and they attacked the trap from the outside to get the bait... they even pulled the trigger rod out of the trap! I ordered a Havahart 1081 (15x15x42) recently and it arrived Wednesday. I set it Thursday evening and caught a huge raccoon overnight. I had that new trap wired to the roof framing also and covered the floor of the trap and pan with a piece of carpet that was in the attic. Some sardines (in a tin that was opened just a crack) was placed near the pan and away from the end and sides so the raccoons couldn't reach it. Regarding the it depends aspect... How big is the raccoon you are after in reality. If it is truly a large one get a bigger trap and I think you'll have better luck.

Durable Traps are Built to Last

The Havahart Large 1-Door Animal Trap is designed to remain reliable and sturdy enough to withstand the pressures of outdoor conditions as well as the unruly animals you may trap. Each trap is constructed with rust-resistant, galvanized, 12-gauge wire mesh that provides long-lasting protection for your property from damage-causing animal pests.

Innovative Safety Features

Safety for both people and animals is always a priority when designing a trap. The Large 1-Door Animal Trap is no exception. The spring-loaded door ensures the animal remains securely inside until its time of release and helps to prevent escapes while the large handle guard minimizes the chance of contact between you and the animal during transport. Inside the trap, the edges are smoothed to prevent injuries to the animal during its time in the trap.

Step 1: Choose and Place Bait

All animals prefer different bait. Choose a bait that will encourage the animal you’re trapping to enter the trap. For example, use cantaloupe for groundhogs, fish for cats, or marshmallows for raccoons. Place the bait towards the back of the trap to encourage animals to enter the trap fully before stepping on the trigger plate.

Step 2: Set the Trap

Set the live trap in or near the area where you’ve noticed pest animal activity. Try leaving the trap unset for several days to allow animals to become more comfortable with the trap, making them easier to catch.

Step 3: Check the Trap Regularly

Both hot and cold conditions can be harmful to the trapped animal and remaining in a live cage trap can cause stress to the animal. Check your traps daily to ensure humane treatment and a quick release back into the wild.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone trapped Bobcat with these types of traps
Answer:	I actually had a state trapper come out (for free) to trap a bobcat demolishing my chickens. He used a very large trap because I guess bobcats won't go into the small ones. Anyway it's illegal to trap bobcats yourself.
Question:	I want to use it but it did not come with directions or a picture of what it is supposed to look like set! how do i set it
Answer:	you have to hold the locks with one hand lift the door with the other hand then hold in position and set the latch the cage works very good caught 7 animals . if you bait the cage putting it under the bottom works best
Question:	How hard is it to release the animals once they have been trapped
Answer:	Releasing them is easy; they just squeeze out through the gap next to the flimsy door. The trick would be actually Keeping the animal in question.
Question:	Does this trap come with the racoon in the picture
Answer:	Yes, it comes with the racoon in the picture. I have brainwashed the racoon to bring in other racoons to the trap and soon there won't be anymore around here. I have advised the Trump campaign about its effectiveness, and soon, there won't be any more racoons left in Washington D.C. either.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would a tiny kitten trigger the trap? Maybe 4 to 5 weeks old. Many thanks
Answer:	maybe - but if you want the feral kitten caught, do like I did, put a brown paper shopping bag flat on the bottom (cats don't like to walk on the wire) put the food in a paper bowl, then hold the trap open with your finger, when the kitten goes in, let the door snap shut, I caught 4 in one try, one went in and the others followed it in
Question:	Will this product work for armadillos
Answer:	We do not have Armadillos up here in Chancellorsville VA; but we do have raccoons which are about the same size. This trap is useless as the raccoons have no problem escaping. I bought my trap thru Amazon so asked for a refund thru them--NO JOY;
Question:	Does this come assembled
Answer:	it comes folded flat in a box; which will then unfold and you put a long pin (comes with the trap) to lock it in place; then connect the trigger rod in place; pull the trap door up and lock in place; you are then ready to go; picture instructions are provided; VERY EASY; footnote (ha ha) put a large brown paper bag on the bottom (free at most grocery stores, just ask for one or a couple); some animals are sensitive where they walk; like feral cats
Question:	I am trying to catch a very small feral cat. She (named pumpkin) is about 6 lbs. . Would her weight be enough to set off the trap
Answer:	If she gets to the rear where the plate is mine is sensitive enough that she would trip mechanism if she walks on the plate. The only problem I've had was when I trapped a coon that likely weighed 25 - 30 lbs and he knocked out the rear portion escaping [we have cameras]. I've caught squirrels and they likely weigh similar to your cat foe.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are they legal in pa? Also can they handle a coyote up to 50 pounds
Answer:	Turning the knob clockwise will increase the sensitivity, turning it counter-clockwise with decrease the sensitivity.
Question:	what is the function of the polyethylene support color
Answer:	The trap I got is great for ground squirrels. I have caught 8 of them in my backyard. As for Woodchucks, I am not sure. To be honest with you, I do not even know what size Woodchucks are. If you go to the Havahart website, you will find a list of animals and the best sizes for catching them.
Question:	Are these pre-loaded
Answer:	This trap will be too small for a groundhog. We recommend using a larger trap, like our Havahart® Large 1-Door Animal Trap (1079)
Question:	Are these dyed
Answer:	you dont, i have caught 2 doves in the trap and they often get to the bird seed.. but over the past 18 months i have caught 32 ground squirrels, 2 doves and 2 rats..so the ratio works for me animal wise.. :)

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this cage have the plate that they step on to trigger the door
Answer:	Ask your department of wildlife for their use. They will definitely hold a 50 lb coyote but if he is able to get the cable wrapped around a solid object he might struggle until he twists the cable into.
Question:	What's the gauge of the wire
Answer:	The support collar keeps snare loop the proper distance off ground for a specific animal you are after. Use a wire , place one end into collar & extend wire to limb or beach to hold loop off ground. For fox 4 inches, coyote 10 inches off ground. Don
Question:	When the trap is set, can the door come down if the animal is under it and inadvertently pushes it up (while not yet inside the trap
Answer:	The discription from the seller says they are: LOADED FOR SPEED: Loading makes a huge difference in snaring percentages as it puts tension in the loop making the loop rounder and causing it to close quickly when an animal goes through it .
