      Answer This Question

      A:  The cage is pretty sturdy. I think an animal would tire out before it was destroyed. Keep in mind that this size would only trap small raccoons. Notice it says raccoons, possums, groundhogs. I would gauge the size more toward possums and groundhogs.

      by|May 25, 2023

        A:  We recommend checking the trap frequently as a trapped animal can cause damage to the trap if left too long. The trap is backed by our 1 year replacement policy.

        by|Mar 10, 2021

          A:  The cage is very sturdy. I caught two and one was able to release himself during night, using his fingers and hands to find the release latch.....I love the cage but you need to frequently check because over a period of time they will find that release latch and get out....no problem with the structure itself

          by|Mar 11, 2021

            A:  I have trapped one raccoon overnight. It was too large to turn around in the cage. There was no damage to the cage.

            by|Mar 11, 2021

              A:  I caught a racoon in the middle of the night and it was fine when I got to the trap at around 10 am. No issues. The cage held up perfectly and after removing the racoon, the trap easily was ready to catch another one. To answer your other question " If they destroy the cage can I return it? ", you'd have to ask the company who made the cage or the place you bought the cage. Hope this helps.

                A:  No, iguanas are much too long to be trapped in this cage. Please do not use it for that purpose. A large net dropped down on top of them would work better.

                  by|May 6, 2023

                    A:  I would think so, if you put something in it they like to eat. I am using it to catch possums and raccoons.

                    by|Apr 15, 2020

                      A:  Well it did a great job on raccoons and opossums, I would imagine it will do well on iguanas as well. Great trap, love mine.

                        Medium worked for red squirrels
                        I bought this yesterday in hopes to trap a red squirrel that kept going in my venza. I didn't catch him on the first round because I had the tension set for heavier weight. Fixed it and an hour later I got him. Super easy to use and I will definitely be using it where I live if the squirrels continue to invade my car. Medium size worked for red squirrels in the ottawa valley.

                          Highly Recommended!
                          Great Product! My backyard was being terrorized, by a couple of raccoons. So, I bought the trap. It was easy to set up. I had to do a little testing to ensure I had the right "sensitivity" setting. I placed a lot of peanut butter, on the trap's inside tray. I also placed half a jar of the stuff further inside the device. (Raccoons love peanut butter! (But so do squirrels plus chipmunks, etcetera! So, set up the trap after the squirrels and chipmunks have retired, for the night!)) At about 10:50 pm, I thought I heard something. So, I inspected the trap and there was one of the pesky raccoons. Then using the small hole, on the door, I wired the door shut, so the raccoon could not escape, during the night. (Raccoons are smart!) Then I placed the whole thing in my garage. The next day, I placed the trap, on a plastic tarp, in the trunk of my car, drove for a few miles, and then let the critter out. Easy! I am totally satisfied! No complaints!

                              Not good for armadillos
                              The Home Depot's website states it is good for armadillos. First night out I caught an armadillo and it broke out of the cage. See picture of cage. I special ordered two of these cages from Home Depot just for armadillos. The cage is just not strong enough for armadillos. I will be returning them to Home Depot today. I do like Havahart cages (I have 7 of them around my place for squirrels and other small critters).

                                I bought this trap to catch a armadillo. First time I set it the armadillo tripped it and bent rods that keep doors from opening when tripped. It got out of trap.

                                Good product. Mark 4. You may need to do some adjustments. In my case mechanism was slightly damaged, not tuned and it wasn't sensetive enough. With help of pliers all fixed. Here is result.

                                  So far 5 raccoons and 1 opossum. Every other night one guy leaves my backyard on back of my truck. I recommend to screw the trap to piece of plywood so raccoon won't damage lawn or your deck. Young raccoons are trying hard to escape.

                                    Not perfect, but glad I got it
                                    Caught a groundhog within a couple hours of setting it up the first time - I'm sure the bait had a lot to do with that. Some days nothing and I don't use it everyday, but have gotten 4 of them in the first month of purchasing this trap. The easy set really is very easy, except that it has a sensitive trap door which can trigger during set up. It's a bit loud and can spook any critters nearby. I think I got a pretty good feel for it now, but every once in a while still manage to accidentally bump the cage too hard and the door snaps shut. Regardless, the trap works very well. Plus I've never found the trap door shut without having caught a groundhog inside. From the get go, I sprayed the trap down to hose off any packaging scents and handle it with thick yard-work gloves to prevent human scent transfer (other than the yard itself) as well as getting into this habit to protect against bites or scratches. During setup I put a couple stones on top to help weigh it down and use cut tree branches to blend it in. At night I'll either close the trap or bring it inside to avoid catching skunks. Also, I use a few different locations to allow the grass to recover. All of this I've either read or heard from others and so far it's all been great. I transport and release it away from home while it is still in the trap. I do use an old crib pad underneath so no scat or spray can ruin the inside of the vehicle trunk. Though it has never gotten loose during transport say if I hit a pothole or swerve hard, I'm always nervous of it happening so I place the trap door side against the inside wall of the car just in case.

                                    Havahart Model 1085 works great!
                                    I purchased Havahart Model 1085 on 8/03/15. The handle has a larger plate, providing safety as you grab the handle, to prevent the caught animal from scratching or injuring your hand. Caught a woodchuck quickly without any bait. The next woodchuck wasn't so easy. It took patience, some lettuce and about two weeks before we caught that one. I placed some branches around the exterior of the cage to make it blend in better. If you use branches make sure they don't interfere with the operation of the trip mechanism. A week later caught a rabbit. Then, this past week I noticed something had once again made a home under my wooden shed. Set the trap again. It took a week but yesterday I caught this beautiful looking, mostly white, furred creature in the cage. Used some dried bread as bait this time. It was Pepe Le Pew. Yep... a skunk. Ugh. The point is this trap works great. I am glad I chose this model mostly due to the larger metal plate that keeps their sharp claws and teeth away from my hand. The trip mechanism worked flawlessly.
