Review: excellent trap - Excellent trap. Removes a large racoon each of the first two nights it was used. Sturdy construction and the door has a great locking mechanism. The door is closed by gravity and springs. When the door panel drops down and second locking panel, attached to the door at the bottom, swings up and forward. This locking panel closes and locks into two tabs at the top of the cage preventing the door from reopening. This is a very secure setup. I also quickly figured out a good way to let the critters out and keep your hands and feet well out of the way. Straddle the cage facing the same direction as the door. Lift the locking tabs and pull the locking panel out and up. This lifts the door while keeping you well out of the way of the by now very irate raccoon. This is a very good design. The second racoon gave this cage his best effort and there was no sign of any damage to the cage. This cage should last a very long time. Review: It works - A raccoon I have been hand feeding decided to make his home in my attic by removing some flashing around an air duct. He had to go. This is my second Havahart trap. First of all, this cage is huge. Getting it inside, out of the box and setup was not that easy. The instructions are locked inside of the cage, so there is no way to view them and I could not determine how to open the cage. So, before I used it, I had to go to YouTube and type in Havahart 1081 and watch a short video, which really helped. After the 30 second video, no instructions needed. The raccoon was sitting outside the backdoor waiting for me to feed it. I got the cage ready and got my video camera. Before I was ready with the camera, the raccoon was already in the cage, eating cat food and the trap sprung. Less than a few minutes, I had accomplished my goal. The raccoon was safely caught and ready to be relocated. Ease of setup: Difficult because the instructions are locked inside of the trap. Once you know how to open and set it, it is easy. Ease of releasing the animal: Not easy and unsafe. There is no way to release the animal except for the way you set the trap, so you must stick your fingers through the cage where the critter is to release it. If you turn the cage on end with the door up in the air and the trip plate at the ground, the animal should slide/go to the trip plate end, then open the door carefully, set the cage down and move way. Build: Huge, heavy, cumbersome. This trap eliminates some flaws in other models that will allow the animal to easily escape. This unit is not easily turned over because of the size. There is a hook for hanging bait that is easily moved and enough space behind the trip plate to place food. If the bait is too big to go through the wire cage, then getting food into the long cage and behind the trip plate will not be easy. There is a double handle on top for lifting with a metal shield to protect your hand from an angry critter. Considerations: Once the animal is caught, you will need a truck to move the critter. It might fit in a large trunk area with the trunk lid strapped. I doubt it would fit in the backseat of a car unless the backseat is very spacious. The edges of the cage are sharp and rough and could easily rip car seats or cause injury to a person. Also, with an upset critter pacing back and forth in this cage, it makes it much harder to handle. One large, strong person can do it but it is not easy. This model works much better and is built much better than the smaller model. Setting it is much easier once you know how with much less chance of false tripping or failure. Be sure to read the measurements before ordering. It is as big as a moderate/large sized coffee table.

I have also caught the same squirrel numerous times (he knows I will let him go). ## Features - Best used for armadillos, beavers, bobcats, cats, dogs, foxes, groundhogs, opossums, and raccoons - Handle guard protects you from contact while the animal is inside - Smooth, rolled edges on the inside of the trap protect the animal from injury - Smoothed internal edges protect and prevent injuries to animals - Extra-strength door lock prevents escapes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0000AVYXZ | | Best Sellers Rank | #120,870 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #1,696 in Pest Control Traps | | Brand Name | HAVAHART | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (574) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00036348010814, 00732233472391 | | Is Electric | No | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 16.2"L x 43"W x 16.2"H | | Item Type Name | Other Garden and Outdoor Equipment, Accessories | | Item Weight | 21.65 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Havahart | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1081 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Our Havahart Live animal cage traps are covered 100% due to manufacturing defects or workmanship.

Trigger Rod Longer Than Necessary *by J***I on June 1, 2020* I've had a couple of this company's traps over the years. My last medium trap caught a large raccoon that was heavy enough to warp the bottom of the trap when I picked it up, letting him push open the door and escape -- back into my attic. That's when I bought this trap. It's much more robustly built and the door is foolproof. Also the trap is pretty big! I caught the raccoon again, no problem. This time no escape. Other reviewers have mentioned having to mess with the trigger rod to get it to work; I suspect the manufacturer ships it slightly long on purpose to accommodate production variations in the distance from the trip plate to the door release. I slightly bent mine near the top of the cage to shorten it just enough for the hook to hold up the door with the trip plate as high as it would go, leaving the trap at its most sensitive. Works perfectly every time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Havahart 1081 Live Animal Professional Style One-Door Large Raccoon, Small Dogs, and Fox Cage Trap-Made in the USA - Dobbins Backbreaker Beaver Lure 1 oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1943024-x-large-1-door-humane-animal-trap-for-armadillos-beavers](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1943024-x-large-1-door-humane-animal-trap-for-armadillos-beavers) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
