Customer Reviews for Havahart Medium 2-Door Animal Trap

Purchased the larger trap for relocation of two squirrels. I used peanut butter which worked well as bait. The trap worked well, but I recommend a little practice as setting the tripping mechanism was a bit tricky. Also, for red squirrels, I definitely recommend the larger size.

Ordered this trap to control ground squirrels. It's a good idea to set the trap up on a table to comfortably become familiar with it. As the instructions specify, set it and trip it several times to understand the trapping and tripping process. I placed it out in the activity area with peanut butter on bread as bait. We had noticed that for some reason the two squirrels had disappeared from our property a couple of days prior to setting the trap and have never returned since (maybe coyotes got them). I left the trap set and on the third day found a very upset skunk in it. I carefully slide the trap into a plastic trash can and took him to a wild area a couple of miles away and used a long stick to easily release the trap. The skunk immediately scooted out and wandered away. The trap is on standby should the squirrels return. I have complete confidence it will continue to do its job.

Before this product I bought a 1025 to catch and relocate some squirrels in my yard and it did not work I tried for 2 months with this trap. After that I decided to buy this trap 1040. I set the trap and two days latter I got the squirrel.

I have several of these traps and they work great.
