Havahart® Large 1-Door Collapsible Easy Set® Trap

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.

This trap worked exactly as advertised! Simple to set up and very successfully caught some unwanted critters. Lightweight and easily folds up for storage.

I wish I could give this product less than a 1 star review. Raccoon actually bent the locking bar for the back of the trap and escaped. Thankfully it didn't happen during transportation or while handling the trap. Yes the trap door does not latch effectively as stated in so many previous reviews. Company still hasn't fixed that issue. This trap is dangerous and needs to be recalled. I have also spoken with two company representatives by phone who seemed rather indifferent to my safety concerns and am awaiting a call back from futher up the chain of command. .
