Customer Reviews for Havahart Cage Trap - Model 0745

Rat traps & glue boards are effective but the expressions on the faces of the killed had disturbed me. Entered garage & saw rat run for cover. Had lost instructions for trap, but found info for similar on Internet. Baited with peanut butter on cracker & put in place within 30 minutes of sighting. Rat caught within 34 hrs & released in the wild within 37. Seems solid, cage bars are close set for safety. Bars on cage floor make it easier to clean but likely hard on animals paws. Used leather gloves & carried cage in a cardboard box. Compact size = easier to handle/transport, however might be a little small for large size squirrels. Glad I got it - no haunting faces. In an imperfect world a good idea.

This trap is made well and of quality material. Only problem is somehow some of the critters are eating the bait and still able to get out before the door closes. Also, would recommend tying the trap to a secure object. The first time I trapped an animal I found the trap the next day about 45 feet away from it's original location.

Trapped & relocated the squirrel in just a few hours. I was disappointed in the quality of the materials. The squirrel was able to pull the door securing latch under the thin metal top. The door remained secure, but it sure made it difficult to open the door to release the frightened and angry squirrel. It would be helpful if the top and latch material were heavier. But it worked - hence the 4 stars.

I didn't realize I had so much wildlife on my deck at night. In one week I caught and relocated 3 gray squirrels and 5 chipmunks using peanut butter (chunky) and cracked corn/birdseed as bait. This Havahart trap is made in China- but works well.
