We've made removing nuisance animals from your yard as easy as
it can get! The durable, rust-resistant Easy Set trap from
Havahart lets you set and release with just one hand, keeping you
far away from the captured animal. The trap features a solid
plate covering the top and doors--this serves as a hand guard to
limit contact with the animal.
Easy Set traps are simple to set and release () A sturdy door
lock ensures that the animal will stay put, while the smoothed
interior edges protect it from harm. To top off Easy Set traps, a
rigid, plastic carry handle makes it easy to transport, holding
it away from your body. When it’s time to release, just stand to
the rear of the trap and open the door using the patented,
safe-release lever on top. Easy Set traps are perfect for first
time trappers--one simple move and the trap is set! Havahart

stairs, or where you suspect they are entering the building

how and where wildlife may be released
FAQs
Q: What bait should I use for my target animal?
* Squirrels: Cereal, grains, nuts (especially peanuts) sunflower
, anise oil (a drop or two on bread), shelled corn, or
apples.
* Armadillos: Meal worms, other worms, or insects enclosed in a
little cloth bag, maggots, or sardines.
* Chipmunks: Prune pits, un-roasted peanuts, corn, sunflower
, peanut butter, cereal, grains, or popcorn.
* Groundhogs: Fresh string beans, sweet corn, lettuce, peas,
cantaloupe, strawberries, cucumbers, peaches, or vanilla extract.
* Opossums: Vegetables, sweet apples, chicken entrails, sardines,
crisp bacon, or canned cat food.
* Skunks: Chicken entrails, cracknels, fish-canned or
fresh-insect larvae such as may beetles, crisp bacon, or cat
food.
* Porcupines: Apples, salt, or carrots.
* Rabbits: Fresh vegetables (brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrots,
lettuce), or apples. In the wintertime, bread is a good bait.
Spraying the inside of the trap with apple cider is also
effective.
* Stray Cats: Fish, meats, oil of catnip, sardines, canned tuna,
or chicken.

the animal, now what should I do?
A: We recommend contacting the Humane Society, or the local or
state game commission to determine the lawful method of releasing
a captured wild or nuisance animal before setting the trap. Many
species are protected by law in various states. Q: What are the
advantages of using a two-door trap versus a one-door trap?
A: Most people use two-door traps with more cautious animals
like squirrels. The thought is that if the animal can see an
unblocked path through the trap (since both doors are open), they
will have more confidence entering the cage. On the other hand,
one-door traps allow the animal to walk further in and past the
trip plate. Havahart traps offer both one-door and two-door Easy
Set traps to satisfy all customers.
Q: Where should I place the bait?
A: Place some bait on top of the trip plate and some more under
the trip plate. You can also place the bait just above the trip
plate on the ceiling of the trap. You can even secure or fasten
the bait to the mesh by using string or a garbage bag twist tie.
This forces the animal to stand on the trigger plate in order to
reach the bait. It’s important that the bait isn’t placed in an
area where the animal can reach it through the mesh without
entering the trap.
Q: What should I do if I catch a skunk?
A: First, find an old cloth, towel or sheet that can be used to
cover the trap. Next, approach the trap cautiously, holding the
trap covering in front of you. Make sure the covering extends to
the ground while holding it--don't let the skunk see your feet
coming as this may alarm the animal. When you're close enough to
the trap, gently cover the trapped animal--trap and all.
