We have a neutered outdoor cat who sleeps and eats in our garage. Three times now we have found opossums sharing his food, and all three times this trap (baited with cat food) caught them within hours. I release them by a creek in the woods miles from here, and they are totally unharmed. Happy to be free, yes. The cat is too smart to enter the trap, so I wouldn't use it on strays. Maybe a different style of trap would work for that.

Dear Tom,

Thank you for taking the time to submit an online review for the Havahart® Easy Set® Small 2-Door Animal Trap (model #1062).  This size trap is recommended for rabbits, skunks and squirrels.  Have you been able to determine what kind of animal is frequenting your trap?  It is possible that a raccoon or opossum may be to blame and unfortunately this trap is a bit on the small size for these critters so they can reach in, steal the bait, and then back out.

With that being said, we do have some tips for you to try ... sometimes animals can get their tails stuck in the door giving them the ability to back out of the trap because the door lock did not fully engage.  To prevent this, it is recommended to set your trap as a one door trap and place (or even tie) your bait at the far closed end of the trap.  This will require the animal’s body to be completely enclosed inside the trap when it is set off.  The second tip you can try is to place the bait (like peanut butter) inside of a small tube (pvc pipe) and hang it above the bait tray.  This will force the animal to enter the trap fully and engage the trigger pan.

Hopefully these tips help you to nab that pesky critter!  If you have questions or need assistance please do not hesitate to contact our Consumer Relations Team at the following:
