Review: Cats be gone! - This humane animal trap solved my 2-year, increasingly annoying problem with cats invading my yard and leaving "little messages." This came to a head when they started clawing and shredding my mosquito netting covering a swing a couple months back, including spraying scent all over the cushions of the swing! I had tried many remedies of pepper and other spices to no avail. I even invested in a gas-powered BB pistol and a sling shot, which neither had any effect because the cats were too fast and alert. It seemed as I tried more things, the problems only increased. The county animal control was contacted on 8 occasions to take care of this issue and nothing ever came of those complaints. I finally decided to spend the money and get a humane trap. This one seemed to be of solid construction and would endure the weather. There were less-expensive traps available, but I figured this might be better to encompass larger pests if needed. Within 3 days, six cats were captured, one at a time. County pest control was getting a bit put out that I kept calling them to come by and pick up these cats, but that's their job. I told them if they reviewed their records, they would find all the times I had called them about the problem which they did nothing to resolve. I think I finally got rid of all the cats, because last night the trap remained empty. I had baited the trap with an empty, unwashed can of spam which had a very strong smell that had successfully lured the cats into their captivity. I knew the places the cats were entering my yard and placed the cage near those points of entry. The cats I had captured were hissing, scratching, and biting, attempting to get at my hand. Fortunately, the handle is protected by a metal plate which kept their claws and teeth away from my hand. A couple of the cats had sprayed the cage; however, cleaning the cage was a breeze with just a garden hose. The trap door mechanism has a simple gravity latch against a pivoting bar mounted into the door which prevents the captured animal from getting out by ramming against the door. Each of the cats definitely gave that a try, but the door held firm every time. To open the door, you simply lift the latch holding the bar in position and lift the door mechanism. The door is held in the "open" position with an angled metal arm used as a "hook." The hook is attached to a plate used as a trigger for the door to fall when the animal puts any weight on the plate. As the door falls, the metal bar is locked in place by the latch against the bar so the animals can't get out until you left them out. Using an unwashed can from tuna or spam is my best recommendation for cat bait since the odor is strong and attracted the cats during both the day and night. You would have to research to see what food would bait other animals. If you're having the same issues with any pests (cats, dogs, squirrels, raccoons, etc.), I would highly recommend getting this cage. With few working parts and 100% metal construction, it appears this cage will last for years to come. I wish I would have tried this from the start! Review: It works GREAT! - Oh my goodness what a fabulous product! We had a big #MIN male feral cat that was killing all the baby birds, including the ones that had made a nest on the wreath on our front door. It even tried to figure out how to get inside the house because we had two pet birds! One night was just a little tuna on a little portion of paper in the back of the cage along with an desertcart sold little chirping, fake bird and the cat was trapped within three hours on our front porch! The cat is safe. We’re safe and the birds are safe. What a well-made product because this giant cat did everything it could to shake rattle and roll that cage. What a great American product made in Pennsylvania.

I have a cat trap built the same way but i am afraid the raccoon might be too big for it.** A: That will depend upon the raccoon in question. I've caught a lot of woodchucks, opossum, squirrels, the occasional bird, and a skunk in my 1079 but have been having mixed results with a current raccoon problem--raccoons got into an attic. I caught a medium sized one right away and another a few days later. Unfortunately the second one flipped the trap over which released the gravity lock and it was able to escape. After that I wired the trap to the roof framing so it couldn't be moved and they attacked the trap from the outside to get the bait... they even pulled the trigger rod out of the trap! I ordered a Havahart 1081 (15x15x42) recently and it arrived Wednesday. I set it Thursday evening and caught a huge raccoon overnight. I had that new trap wired to the roof framing also and covered the floor of the trap and pan with a piece of carpet that was in the attic. Some sardines (in a tin that was opened just a crack) was placed near the pan and away from the end and sides so the raccoons couldn't reach it. Regarding the it depends aspect... How big is the raccoon you are after in reality. If it is truly a large one get a bigger trap and I think you'll have better luck. **Q: why bait tray tripped, bait gone, no catch** A: Depends on bait.... Birds and rats can get in and out without tripping the trap! I had to bend the wire at the top hook where it lockcs and it works fine. I always test it when I leave it. I have caught 12 Racoons...3 feral cats...and one neighbors trap. I have had the best luck with Fried Chicken left over bones, Marchmallows, and Reeses Peanut Butter cups.What amazies me is if caught with a couple of chicken bones as bait when I go to get the trap the Coon has eaten the entire bone. **Q: What's the difference between "Havahart 1079 Live Animal Professional-Style One-Door Raccoon, Groundhog, Opossum, and Stray Cat..." and Havahart 1089?** A: The only difference is that in the 1089, when you lift the handle, it automatically sets the trap or locks the door for the animal you are trying to catch. In the 1079, which I bought, you set the trap manually. I like being able to get the bait inside and every thing done before I set the spring on the door. I don't want my arm cought in it trying to get the bait set. If you are trying to catch raccoons, you will also need something to stabilize the cage. You would be surprised how a caccoon can roll the cage. Sue **Q: What have you put under it (to prevent bathroom accidents in your vehicle) during transportation?** A: I use a trash bag and put newspaper in between the bag and the trap. Plastic alone is not a good idea because liquid just roll right of. The newspaper absorbs the liquid, the trash bag prevent the dirty newspaper from touching the seat. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cats be gone! *by C***P on October 4, 2021* This humane animal trap solved my 2-year, increasingly annoying problem with cats invading my yard and leaving "little messages."

I have a few raccoons showing up at night in my backyard and caught a big one the first night. Just be aware that the coon may dig a lot over night and tear the ground/grass up around it. I learned this last night lol. Luckily I had the trap in a spot where the grass wasn’t very nice or thick (not yet). The coon can reach through the wire several inches. I may try putting the trap on some plywood to prevent this as long as it doesn’t spook them. I also recommend putting something heavy on top as these critters have some weight to them and may turn the cage over or move it around some with the digging. A+ however for the trap! ## Frequently Bought Together - HAVAHART 1079SR Large 1-Door Humane Catch and Release Live Animal Trap Cage - Live Raccoon Trap, for Bobcats, Beavers, Dogs, & More - RAPICCA Animal Handling Gloves Bite Proof Double Leather Reinforced Padding Dog,Cat Scratch,Bird Handling Falconry Gloves Grabbing Reptile Squirrel Snake Bite 16in Grey-Black - Trap Cage Cover,ONLY Cover, Cage not Included, Heavy Duty Animal Trap Cage Cover Small Animal Trap Cover for 1-Door Humane Cat Trap 32 x 10 x 12inch (Army Green，ONLY Cover, Cage not Included) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/1098477-havahart-1079sr-large-1-door-humane-catch-and-release-live](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/1098477-havahart-1079sr-large-1-door-humane-catch-and-release-live) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
