## Description

The 1026 Havahart Small 1-Door Live Animal Trap is the latest animal-trapping innovation from the #1 brand used by professionals. You don’t have to be a pro to use this live catch and release animal trap. Its simple design allows trappers of all experience levels to catch and release squirrels, weasels, chipmunks, and similarly sized nuisance animals humanely and safely. This Havahart trap comes equipped with a solid door and sturdy plastic Safety Shield to protect users from direct contact with trapped animals. Meanwhile, the ergonomic Comfort Grip handle and lightweight design allow for easy carrying. To ensure durability, the Havahart Small 1-Door Live Animal Trap is constructed of sturdy plastic and galvanized wire mesh to resist rust and damage. The animal trap's sensitive trip plate can be successfully triggered by the small target animals and is combined with a spring-loaded door to ensure quick, secure captures. Once caught, strong door locks keep animals securely in the cage, while smooth, rolled internal edges prevent anxious critters from injuring themselves.

Review: Works very well - I had a chipmunk that was digging a hole next to my house, kicking little landscaping rocks into my grass, etc... and it kept making a mess so I decided it was time to deal with it. I picked this trap because the brand seemed to have a good reputation, and the size of the trap seemed ideal for something like a chipmunk. I saw some other fancier, larger traps have doors on both sides while this only has one door... so wasn't sure if it would be sufficient or not. Fortunately for me (not the chipmunks), it has been great. The trap comes packaged in a nice looking retail display box, which is nothing special, but did a sufficient job keeping everything intact during shipping. Having never used a trap like this before, I found the process of setting the trap slightly confusing for a few minutes. I didn't think the instructions were great, but watched a video online, and then it just made sense. Now I find it extremely easy to set it, and don't have to think about it at all. Anyway when I went to set the trap, I figured I'd put some nuts inside to attract the chipmunk. I actually was setting the trap with the chipmunk sitting 10 feet away watching me. I set it, stepped away, and literally within 30 seconds the chipmunk was inside and had been captured. It was shocking to me how easy it was. After that, I set the trap out with more food, and caught another chipmunk right away. Then I decided to skip putting food in the trap, and over 3 weeks I've caught 15 chipmunks. I never knew there were so many near my house, it was pretty shocking. Overall I am very pleased with this trap. It's performed very well for what I needed it for.
Review: Not a great design - I have 2 traps like this. The older one works great. This design, which is newer, gave me fits. It is harder to set because there is a rod that comes off (my other trap had it attached), and the opening is so small that I have trouble getting my arm in there far enough to set the bait. Trying to manage both of those at the same time was a challenge for me. Then when I compare how many "critters" I catch with this one vs. the older design, there is no comparison- the older one is better. I got so frustrated with this one , I eventually threw it away.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ One door works well with squirrels and chipmunks BUT
*by A***7 on July 9, 2023*

The biggest issue I have with this trap is it is not easy to bait it. It is small and narrow and difficult to reach in to bait the trap. The other issue is squirrels will tip the trap over to get at the bait, which triggers the door closed. I design improvement would be a top locking hatch which you could use to bait the trap without having to reach inside the trap, which is difficult to do and properly set the bait. The other item that would help is to be able to secure the trap to the ground with something like lawn spikes so the squirrels cannot move it. The best bait for outdoors is a little bit of peanut butter on a green tomato slice.
