Havahart® Large 1-Door Collapsible Easy Set® Trap

THe raccoons in my area are trap-savvy. There is no bait I know of that can induce them to enter the trap.

Trying to catch a mother cat to keep her with her kittens, and the cage won't lock once it snaps shut! This is endangering these 3 week old babies because we can't trap their mom! She's gotten out 3 times! Go to a local animal shelter and use one of their traps for a cat, this trap is a waste of $65 and is endangering these babies!

There is an apparent production issue with the locking bar and it's alignment to the door lock bar (plastic strip on the door). The tolerance is too tight - so when the bar drops it lays on top of the plastic door strip instead of locking in above it. This means the door can be pushed from the inside and opened. This has happened to me twice now - both instances observed on game camera. Bait gone - door down but no animal inside... the possum was able to push the door from the inside and walk out as seen on camera. This baffles me that a product so simple in construction could have such an obvious flaw. Very disappointing - I ended up contacting a control service and paid over $500 to trap the animals just out of frustration and lack of time to continue working with a faulty trap. I don't usually write reviews about products but this one floored me. I think it would be a great product otherwise. My suggestion if you purchase this product is to set it up, trip the door and make sure it latches before you bait and set You may have a dud just like the one I purchased.

Please do not buy this. I went to Lowe's yesterday and bought one and paid $65 and change. First of all, it is very confusing to assemble (not easy). I finally got it together and set it out last night to trap a Raccoon. The Raccoon did get in and eat the cat food but pushed its way back out. This trap is worthless. I had to return it for a refund.

the raccoon has now broken "2" springs on the trap door. The door will drop down but the raccoon can get the bait and get out of the trap. Now we have "3" unusable traps because of spring mal-functions

Purchased the trap about 3 weeks ago. Model 1092. After baiting the cage I used the handle to set the trap. 11 times I set the trap with food and in 11 days the trap was tripped but NEVER caught the animal !! The door is to blame. When the cage is tripped the door should close and you shouldn't be able to open the door from the outside when you pull on the door. This procedure simulates an animal pushing the door from the inside and getting out. Why are these cages still being sold when its defective ? Look at the other reviews of people saying the same thing as I did.

The door does not lock closed. The kittens were able to push it open and escape. I would not recommend this unit.

There are alot of feral cats nearby and they just keep reproducing. I finally wanted to help do my part with the feline overpopulation and purchased one of your traps. It was very easy to put together and set. So far we have trapped 2 cats, had them checked over, tested, dewormed, vaccinated, neutered and notched their ears so we can keep track of who we've done. We still have a few to get but I am very please with the ease of use and success of the trap. Thank you!

Bought this trap to catch a family of feral cats. I caught the mom immediately, but she was able to open the trap door and escape. Undeterred, I tried again, and caught one of her kittens. This time, the kitten was able to open the trap door and escape. This trap is a very poor design — and if it can’t keep a kitten inside for more than 10 seconds, it’s a waste of time and money. I have since borrowed a better trap from our humane society. Don’t waste your time or money with this one. I returned it to Lowe’s.

Faulty catch bar design. I had two armadillos escape by pushing the door and the catch bar didn't hold the door down. Bar got pushed back thru the guides and bent the guides and broke the spring. Now have a torn up yard and a busted trap. Had borrowed by friends model 1079 and caught 3, but the 1092 was a huge disappointment.
