Trust this live trap solution to resolve wildlife conflicts responsibly and effectively Review: Nice, Well-Constructed Live Trap - We are having a particularly intense infestation of 'rockchucks' this summer. A rockchuck is a yellow-bellied red marmot, a close relative of that Phil character that is used to, um, predict the remaining winter in early February. While active, they decimate flowers and vegetables, so aren't desirable. We live very close to the edge of a National Forest, and while we recognize that we live in their territory, I'm more than happy to relocate the marauding garden terrorists back to those forests. Enter the live traps. It took a few reads of the simple instructions to pick up all the nuances. The sheet is written for several related models, with different details for each. After those reads and some head scratching where hair used to grow, the actual setting up was fast and easy. I followed some internet advice, worth every penny I paid for it, as I selected a bait for our particular visitors. Nothing. Last evening at a neighborhood meeting, I found out that watermelon and cantaloupe rinds are favored here. We'll see how we do, hopefully better with the right bait. The trap itself is easy to set up, and it's a size that should fit and hold our rockchucks. Perhaps as important, the size is just right to fit into a large garden-waste trash bag. That's essential before placing a scared animal in the back of the car for a ride back to a wilder place. Plus it will contain any excess pee and droppings that would otherwise end up in the car. It's a ten-minute drive or so to get them beyond any normal 'homing' range, no need to traumatize them unnecessarily. Neighbors who use traps these speak highly of them. I will to after the right bait draws the several beasts who have been feasting on my flowers. I'll update if the results are less than great. ---- Update after a few successful weeks of use -- Thanks to watermelon rinds as bait, 'Rocky' and 'Chuck' have found new homesteads to enjoy, several miles from ours. Neither seemed particularly happy to be in the trap, although each did manage to consume all of the rinds during their visit time. They each thanked me for the food and the rides by chattering their teeth as I gathered them up for the vacation trip. A large lawn-sized leaf bag is just the right size to put the trap in for the rides in the car. It took a little careful lifting and sliding to get the trap into the bag each time. I'll be honest that I tried to do it all gently, but it proved more challenge than I was ready to suffer. The traps went on-end on the folded-out bag, spilling the guest into the bottom end long enough to pull the bag over the trap. Once the bag was tucked closed, safe to put it into the car. Quiet back there with the bag clocking the view. This wasn't a sightseeing tour, apparently; they must have misread the travel brochure. After several miles of forest service road, a pile of rocks seemed the perfect spot for a new rockchuck nation to spring up. Open the door, and the little guys hotfooted it over to the rock formation. Then almost immediately turned tail and hauled butt across the road and off into the forest. After all the love and care I'd put into choosing a new home for them... The bags got tossed and the traps were thoroughly cleaned with the hose and brush. Ready for the next varmint attack and invasion. Rockchucks apparently go somewhat dormant in later summer and fall. The traps will come back out when they decide to come help harvest our garden veggies and flowers again. More: The traps are shipped pretty much ready to use. They don't fold for storage, so be ready for the storage space they will use up. The traps themselves are constructed from plated steel wire mesh and sheet metal parts, and easily resisted the teeth and claws of the rockchucks. Still, I'm not sure they will last if left in outside storage over long periods. I suspect the wire will rust at the weld points given sufficient time and exposure. That probably wouldn't affect function, but appearance would suffer. Hope this helps! Review: Safe, humane, and animal friendly trap. - Excellent trap/cage.

I have a cat trap built the same way but i am afraid the raccoon might be too big for it.** A: 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. **Q: why bait tray tripped, bait gone, no catch** A: 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. **Q: What's the difference between "Havahart 1079 Live Animal Professional-Style One-Door Raccoon, Groundhog, Opossum, and Stray Cat..." and Havahart 1089?** A: 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 **Q: What have you put under it (to prevent bathroom accidents in your vehicle) during transportation?** A: I use a trash bag and put newspaper in between the bag and the trap. Plastic alone is not a good idea because liquid just roll right of. The newspaper absorbs the liquid, the trash bag prevent the dirty newspaper from touching the seat. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice, Well-Constructed Live Trap *by B***N on July 24, 2024* We are having a particularly intense infestation of 'rockchucks' this summer.

Used on my mountain property to catch a feral cat. Worked perfectly the very first night and super humane trap. LOVE this trap it’s strong enough to keep a medium size animal in without escape, easy to set and allowed the animal to be released with no injury to cat or myself! Just lift the door and bye bye nuisance/terrorist cat! Now my responsibly spayed cat is safe and at ease! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They do work, just re-enforce the smaller trap. Wire ties work great and cost little. Pennies. *by D***R on July 1, 2026* This trap is much stronger and much easier to use. I did not have to play with the sensitivity at all. I also added some wire ties at each joint to make sure it is stronger at the joints. Not really needed but just in case. I kept the old trap and also just re-enforced the joints so it would be twice the strength. Now I have 2. The newer trap is bigger and will allow a much bigger animal to get in before kicking off the trap. Both traps ( smaller one) and the now larger trap are excellent and work great. The larger trap is just easier to adjust and use. I recommend both. Price was great on both. ## Frequently Bought Together - HAVAHART 1079SR Large 1-Door Humane Catch and Release Live Animal Trap Cage - Live Raccoon Trap, for Bobcats, Beavers, Dogs, & More - RAPICCA Animal Handling Gloves Bite Proof Double Leather Reinforced Padding Dog,Cat Scratch,Bird Handling Falconry Gloves Grabbing Reptile Squirrel Snake Bite 16in Grey-Black - Trap Cage Cover,ONLY Cover, Cage not Included, Heavy Duty Animal Trap Cage Cover Small Animal Trap Cover for 1-Door Humane Cat Trap 32 x 10 x 12inch (Army Green，ONLY Cover, Cage not Included) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1098477-havahart-large-1-door-live-animal-trap-for-raccoons-cats](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1098477-havahart-large-1-door-live-animal-trap-for-raccoons-cats) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
