Havahart 32x10x12 Raccoon Trap Single Door

The Havahart trap is 32 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 12 inches high. It is under 10 pounds. The cage, made in the United States, is built with heavy-gauge galvanized steel wire and has extra steel supports. This means the trap does not rust and lose shape after many uses. Each weld is smoothed down, so there are no sharp edges to harm animals and handlers.

Durable Build

The durable construction of the trap provides long-lasting service and safe operation.

• Galvanized Steel Wire: It is topped by a fully galvanized fold lid and a mesh. The treatment prevents rust and corrosion, even when used outdoors.
• Steel Reinforcements: Supplemental cross bracing at critical points helps to prevent the trap from becoming bent or flattened over time.
• Smooth Finish: All seams and edges are rounded off so animals stay unharmed and users can lift or carry the trap without cuts or snags.

Humane Capture Mechanism

This trap is for the humane capture of animals.

• Adjustable Trip Plate: The sensitivity screw allow only animals of a certain weight to pass. This reduces the risk of catching fish species other than the targeted ones.
• Spring‑Loaded Door: When triggered, the door snaps down and locks up in one second. The rapid move blocks the animal from hurting itself or from running away.
• Handle Guards: Optional edge guards around the carrying handle protect hands from shifting doors during transport.

Ready-to-Use Design

The trap is easy to set up in just seconds, and it requires no additional tools.

• Pre‑assembled: The trap is ready to use upon arrival. It’s ready to use as soon as the user opens the box.
• One‑Step Setup: Just lift the door and the trap is set and ready for use.
• Simple Bait Placement: Place bait at the rear of the cage. This entices the animal to enter completely before tripping the pan.

Suitable Size and Target Species

It's the perfect interior space for raccoons, groundhogs, opossums and stray cats.

• Animals weighing up to about 25 pounds can fit comfortably inside.
• Small mesh openings in the cage keep smart critters from pulling bait from the sides.
• It will also catch armadillos, skunks, and muskrats in most yards or light commercial properties.

How to Use

An easy-to-follow guide is the key to successful trapping:

1. Attach bait to the rear of the cage so the animal has to come all the way into the cage.
2. Adjust the plate‑adjust screw to the animal desired weight.
3. Pick up the door and secure it with the safety lock.
4. Monitor the trap each morning for catch and reset it when necessary.
5. Transport the cage by its shielded handle to a release point at least five miles away and unlatch the door to release the animal.

Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure the trap works well for years.

• Wash with mild soap and water and let it air dry. This will eliminate odors and inhibit bacterial growth.
• Spray a little silicone lubricant on the hinge and spring twice a year.
• Keep it in a dry area, like a garage or shed, so the galvanized finish and springs will not be damaged by rain.

Trapping Tips

To bring added success, a few best practices look to help:

• To attract nighttime critters, use scented baits such as marshmallows, tuna, and sweet corn.
• Cover the base of the trap with leaves or branches, but keep the entrance open.
• Establish rules about how far to transport animals and where releases are permitted.
• Regular checks prevent trapped-animal distress and facilitate fast resets when necessary.

The Havahart 32×10×12 Raccoon Trap stands at the intersection of humane field proven design and rigorous strength. Its galvanized‑steel construction, fine‑tuned capture system and easy setup make it a top pick for safe, effective critter removal. Easy care and maintenance of this trap provides reliable performance year after year.
