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.

• Medium Sized Dimensions - L: 9.25" x W: 4.3" x H: 4.5". Great for safely catching chipmunks, rats, mice, and small squirrels
• Easy to Bait and Set - Simply raise the door and attach the lever to the trigger bar to set
• Reusable - After an animal or rodent is caught, the trap can be re-baited and used over and over again
• Extra Thick Wiring - The trap is made of thick and durable metal to prevent animals from chewing or clawing their way out
• Rust and Corrosion Proof - The metal is coated to prevent rust and corrosion, making the trap ideal for outdoor use

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this trap good for also trapping cats too
Answer:	The manufacturer does not offer refills for the Mosser Lee/Soil Master Soil Test Kit.
Question:	What are the dimensions of the trap
Answer:	Since soil most often is in/close to neutral state (with pH value of 7), when you use it to test the pH value of soil, it is highly likely that you find the needle in display window stay still (because the default pH value is set at somewhere between 7 and 8) . The needle will not swing substantially unless the meter in soil with strong acidity or alkalinity. Customers sometimes are misled by this appearance and hence regard the tester as a defective unit by mistake. Here are the steps of How To Use this soil meter: Step 1: Gently wiped the probes all the way up and down with dry cloth a few times before use Step 2: Push the switch to MOIST or PH or LIGHT position Step 3: Stick the probes into the soil 4-6 inches (2/3 of the probes) or more deep Step 4: Adjust the position of the probe until the pointer on the dial swing slightly Step 5: Note moisture/pH/light level in the dial Step 6: Remove probes from soil and wipe clean with dry cloth after each use Tips: This soil meter is designed to measure moisture and ph level of soil, so it CAN ONLY be used in soil, it CANNOT be used to test any liquids, such as pure water, lemon juice, vinegar and so on, or the probes may be damaged.
Question:	Where is it allowed to release an animal after you’ve caught it
Answer:	It needs to be removed after use, and clean the probe with dry cloth
Question:	Is this trap collapsible for storage
Answer:	No, it can't. This soil meter is designed to measure moisture or ph level of the soil and sunlight level, so it can only be used in soil, it cannot be used to test any liquids(such as: pure water, vinegar, lemon juice and so on), or the probes may be damaged.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work to catch cottontail bunnies
Answer:	I purchased this one to catch chipmunks; works perfect; for bunnies, it's probably too small; there is only 10 inches from the door to the trigger they have to step on; maybe real small rabbits, but overall, I would say don't trust it for rabbits; you need next size larger.
Question:	Is this trap large enough for grey squirrels
Answer:	I have caught 5 grey squirrels in less than 24 hrs with this trap, several of which were quite large. I used peanuts as bait. This, by far, has been the most effective trap to catch grey squirrels.
Question:	size
Answer:	It's about 16" X 6" X 6.5". Perfect size for one squirrel.
Question:	I have a rat who is only attracted to Pepsi - can I put a bowl of this in the cage
Answer:	A bowl would be to large and might block the trip mechanism. You could use a large cap off a bottle or one of those small plastic cups that fruit or pudding comes in filled with Pepsi. Balancing one of those on the trip plate so when the rat goes for a drink should work to catch your addict.

Havahart Live Animal Cage Trap Model 0745

The Havahart 1-Door Live Animal Trap is Havahart’s extra-small trap and designed to capture a number of small-sized critters such as chipmunks, squirrels, flying squirrels, weasels, rats and voles. Designed and field-tested by trapping professionals, it uses an ultra-sensitive trip-plate to capture these tiny animals and a close-set wire mesh to contain them. With the right bait, you’ll draw your target animal into the trap. Once the animal trips the trigger, the gravity-action door drops behind them, safely holding the critter until you can humanely release it.

To protect the animal, the trap features smooth internal edges that keep the animal safe from harming itself. Each trap features a carrying handle so you won’t come in contact with the animal inside.

Chipmunks

Use peanut butter to 'glue' sunflower seeds, corn or raisins to the trigger plate of your chipmunk trap, then place it near the chipmunk burrow, under bushes they hide in or under a shed or similar structure.

Rats

Try a variety of food in your trap, including bacon, peanut butter or nuts. Place the rat trap near walls, wires or other pathways you believe the rats use. If you see rat droppings or gnaw marks, you’ve found the right spot.

Squirrels

The baits squirrels love match most other small animals – peanut butter, nuts, apple slices and grains. Place the trap where squirrels are active, but away from other food sources, such as a bird feeder.

Voles

These mouse-like animals have a small range, so place your trap within that territory. Bait with apple slices, nuts, sunflower seeds or gum drops. You can 'glue' those items in place with peanut butter.

Step 1: Baiting

Often times, it’s easier to bait the trap before setting it and placing it. For most animals, you can apply peanut butter to the trigger plate and add some supplementary item to it as further incentive to the target animal.

Step 2: Placement

Your trap should be placed where there’s evidence of the pest animal’s activity. In particular, try to place it near its nest and in any areas where it might normally find food. Remove all other food sources, if possible.

Step 3: Release

After the capture, try to make the animal as comfortable as possible. Cover the trap with a towel, and release the animal at least 2 miles away. Be sure to check your local catch-and-release laws before trapping.

User questions & answers

Question:	are the product dimensions overall, or for just the cage part

Question:	would the large one work to trap a kitten without hurting it
Answer:	Excellent question !!! Peanut butter, nuts and nut-based foods, berries, dried fruit, chocolate, bacon, seeds, marshmallows, bread, orange slices. Step 1: Smear the bait pan with peanut butter. Step 2: Embed a few of the above in the peanut butter. Most important is finding a way to keep the bait on the bait pan. Place the trap where you can check it at least twice a day. Place the trap along a rodent's route. By combining the best bait to catch rodents with good trap placement, you can potentially catch a rodent in minutes. Good Luck Good Luck
Question:	How do i open the trap. the directions are inside the sealed shut trap. i dont want to force it open. and there is no handle? help

User questions & answers

Question:	How tall is it
Answer:	12" tall
Question:	Is it collapsible to store
Answer:	No if I tried to take it apart I wouldn’t know how to put it back together. Try you tube but it catches great don’t put the food on the sliver plate in the trap u have to put the food inside close to the back door . I had one animal get a free meal and walked out
Question:	Seller ... do you have a picture (other than the 2nd one down), where bait is placed behind the spring mechanism plate? more success that way
Answer:	To whom it may concern: I have a similar trap. I always place the bait beyond the trigger plate, which is the mechanism for releasing the trap door. I have no idea why anyone would put bait in front of the trigger plate. I have had trouble with raccoons reaching in and getting the bait from the closed end of the trap, so I built a wooden cover for that end (completely covers the top, back, sides for the rear 12 inches). Now the only way for an animal to get the bait is to enter the front and step on (or otherwise jostle the trigger plate. I do put a little bait at the front door :-) I've caught 4 racoons in the past 3 to 4 weeks. Full disclosure: I don't have this particular trap, but it is VERY similar.
Question:	Does it come in a unmarked box
Answer:	Box is clearly marked that it contains a live animal cage trap.

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 .
Question:	How do you work this trap
Answer:	They are not dyed.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this fit under the hood of my Camry? Rats are devastating wires under the hood. He's there almost every morning working away on his nest
Answer:	I found that the traps are the best I have found however I also put lime on my driveway under my car rats will literally move out I put along walls in garage and around front yard I have 3 dogs and lime is harmful to domestic animals but lime and the traps helps get rid of rats and mice very quickly
Question:	will these harm squirrles
Answer:	Yes they definitely will. My pest control company says legally, they cannot set them outside because they can catch birds, squirrels, cat paws, dogs... they are really strong and effective for killing rats but you want to be careful. I don't know if they would kill a squirrel but I'd be careful setting them outside.
Question:	I set 3 traps in our garage. A rat was caught 30 minutes ago, but is still moving! Is this normal
Answer:	No. I have used the old school snap trsps made out of a wood board and metsl snap hinge and NEVER had this happen. I set out 6 of these and 2 totally took off with the trap still on.
Question:	Rats are eating the bait without setting off trap...peanut butter bait cup is nibbled to empty. Anyone found a solution
Answer:	Here is the answer. Take a half of a peanut and GLUE it to the bottom of the cup. Then smear a very small amount of peanut butter on and around the nut. This works because when they try to extricate the nut using force the trap will engage.

User questions & answers

Question:	why are there no reviews
Answer:	I purchased mine for trapping chipmunks, it works like a charm!
Question:	What do you do if the trap plate is not sensitive enough
Answer:	The only "setting" for sensitivity for this trap are the upper and lower vertical rods. They are hold together by friction when the trap is set. It may be possible to bend one of the rods to create less of an interference fit between the two rods. VERY SMALL adjustments will be necessary. OR Maybe a small amount of lubricant where the 2 rods touch, I would try this one first.
Question:	Is this good for cats as well
Answer:	Yes. I caught a cat as well as skunks.

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.
