HAVAHART Large 1-Door Live Animal Trap - 1079SR, Heavy-Duty Galvanized Cage for Raccoons & Cats, Humane Transport

HAVAHART Large 1-Door Live Animal Trap is a heavy-duty, humane cage designed to capture and hold larger nuisance animals like raccoons, feral cats, bobcats, and beavers for safe relocation.

When wildlife becomes a problem around homes, outbuildings, or commercial sites, you need a humane, reliable way to remove animals without harm. The HAVAHART 1079SR combines sturdy materials, an effective single-door entry, and safety-minded features to reduce escapes, prevent injury, and make transport easier. Built for repeated outdoor use, this trap balances animal welfare with dependable capture performance.

How does the one-door design improve capture success?

The single-door configuration encourages animals to enter fully before the closing mechanism engages, which lowers the chance of partial entry and escape. The design funnels animals toward the bait area and triggers only when sufficient weight or position is achieved. This increases first-attempt success rates and reduces wasted time.

• One-door entry promotes full-animal entry and reliable triggering
• Calibrated trip mechanism minimizes false triggers from light disturbances
• Spacious interior gives animals room to move onto the trigger plate

What construction details protect animals and handlers?

HAVAHART focused on safety by smoothing internal edges and fitting handle guards for secure transport. The galvanized one-piece wire mesh resists rust while remaining strong enough to contain larger wildlife. A solid steel door increases structural integrity so the trap won’t deform under stress.

• Smooth internal edges reduce risk of cuts or scrapes to captured animals
• Protective handle guards shield hands during lifting and carrying
• Galvanized wire mesh and steel door resist corrosion for long life

Which animals can this trap handle effectively?

This large Havahart cage is sized and balanced for medium-to-large nuisance animals commonly found near homes and farms. From raccoons and stray cats to heavier targeted species, the trap’s trip mechanism and interior space accommodate a broad range. It’s not limited to one species, making it a versatile tool for property managers and wildlife professionals.

• Suitable for raccoons, feral and stray cats, opossums, and armadillos
• Trip mechanism tuned to heavier animals like bobcats and coyotes
• Roomy interior supports humane holding until relocation

How easy is it to bait, clean, and maintain?

The open-wire design lets you position bait visibly and access the interior for cleaning without special tools. Solid galvanized construction tolerates outdoor exposure and repeated washdowns, while the simple door and trigger assembly make routine checks quick. Minimal maintenance keeps the trap ready season after season.

• Wire-mesh interior allows easy bait placement and visual monitoring
• Galvanized finish withstands weather and cleaning solutions
• Durable mechanisms require only occasional inspection and lubrication

Who is this for? The HAVAHART Large 1-Door Live Animal Trap is intended for homeowners, property managers, ranchers, animal control personnel, and wildlife professionals who need a humane, durable solution for capturing medium-to-large nuisance animals. If you require a dependable trap that prioritizes safe capture, reduced escapes, and longevity in outdoor conditions, this model delivers practical performance while aligning with ethical wildlife-handling practices.
