Review: An Effective Way to Capture Alvin, Simon and Theodore - At one time, we had a feline roaming around our house. He died in 2012 after 18 years on this planet and killing innumerable things around the yard. Birds, chipmunks, mice, moles, rabbits and shrews were all on his menu. Squirrels, not so much. Suffice it to say that upon his departure, all the aforementioned creatures were allowed to proliferate. Enter me. I returned to the house in PA after spending 12 years in FL. Seeing as I'm older and have reached the point in my life where growing a garden is not only acceptable, it is rather common, I decided to determine if I had a green thumb. The garden I made isn't large by any standard, but I've spent a fair amount of time and money into rock removal and improving the quality of the dirt. So much that it makes more sense to go to the farmer's market, but that's unrelated to this review. I start the plants in pots and transfer them when the last frost is gone, which in NEPA is roughly the end of May. The past two years I planted corn. Along the way I’ve learned a few things about planting that are useless to most people. The first year I planted a little corn, but it was scattered in the garden. When I got ears of corn that were half formed, I investigated and learned that the reason they’re planted close to each other is that they germinate one another. I was confident that I would be more successful the following year, which was 2014. Come May 2014, I proudly planted 30 corn stalks after they had grown a bit. Nice, even rows, almost like a professional. Fast forward a day or two and imagine my horror when I went to check on them and several stalks, I’m talking 10 or more of them, were laying on the dirt next to a perfectly dug up circular area. Hmmm. What was going on? It turns out that even though there is a small stalk and they’re large enough to transplant, the corn kernel remains on the end until it finally disintegrates. Enter the chipmunks that had proliferated over the past 2 years since our cat’s death. They sniffed out this little sweet nugget, dug them out of the ground, ate it and left the remnants for me. They didn’t even care about the ‘critter ridder’ that I had liberally sprayed around the garden’s perimeter. This was almost a spiteful act on their behalf. I thought a bit about them and how at first they were somewhat cute to watch as they frolicked in the yard and in a wood pile. Now, I seriously wanted to exterminate them. I thought that no matter what I did now, I would have half ears of corn again. Sure enough that happened. Now we’re in 2015 and I’m a year wiser. At least I’d like to think so. I scoured the vault of intellectual wealth known as the internet for ways to rid these now annoying rodents from my property. One way had me luring them with sunflower seeds into a bucket filled with water. Heck, I could shoot them and put them out of their misery more quickly. I do have a heart, you know. And as fate would have it, I found traps made by Havahart. How cute. I decided on this size to capture chipmunks, and I’m glad I did. I found that it was difficult to get the trap to trip when it was new. You basically are supporting the weight of the gate on a small bar against a bar coming from the platform where you place your lure. The concept is to have the critter step on the platform, which is like a seesaw in that it’s mounted on a rotational axis through its center. The critter steps on the platform, the platform rotates, the bars separate and the door closes. Easy, right? Well, it’s a bit more difficult as chipmunks don’t weigh much and it’s hard for them to move the platform. I performed some minor mods, which included sanding any high spots where the two small round bars touch each other. I spread out the eyes on the two bolts that hold the platform in place. A small screwdriver is enough to do that. I also added some penetrating oil to that area, too. I also make sure that everything is clean and that things are moving as freely as the last time I set it. Seeing as it’s made of metal, it can be affected by being outside and the waste the critters leave behind. Last but not least, I always set the trap such that it’s tripped when the critter steps on the platform and not when it gets to the backside. And always have as little metal to metal contact from those two small bars as possible. It’s hard to explain, but you’ll see what I mean should you purchase this item. These minor improvements and techniques have enabled me to catch 20 chipmunks so far. I think I’ve had this trap for a little over a month, and I don’t even set it every day. The most effective lure I’ve used are black walnuts. We have a tree in our yard and cracked a few last year. I suppose any nut would work, but believe it or not, peanut butter didn’t seem to work. Anyway, I’ve relocated all of them with the exception of one that had died in the trap. There were two in the trap at the same time, and while I have no idea how they got in there at the same time, either there was a territorial fight or it was just his time. I take them half a mile away, open the door and they scurry off into the wilderness. Since there is no scent trail to follow back to my house and they're not ‘homing’ chipmunks, I don’t think they’ll be back anytime soon. That’s not to say that others won’t take their place. Review: Havahart X-Small Professional Style One-Door Animal Trap for Chipmunk,... - I got the Havahart X-small to trap rats when the many Victor Power Kill Rat Trap M144 failed to do the job. I set up in a place where the rats have been storing flower seeds for their midnight snack and party. I had some roasted un-shelled peanuts from Costco, which were over-roasted and awful by the way, and decided the rats may like it with their beers. I cracked open a couple and toss it in front of the cage door, and scattered a few more inside the cage and a couple more behind the trip plate near the end of the cage. The cage sat there for almost 2 months and rats keep storing seeds and having their party in front of the cage door, ignoring my savory peanuts. I even offer to quench their thirst with a jar lid full of anti-freeze. No takers. There were definite signs or rat activity, poop and seeds that keep showing up. Well, this morning, guess who is in trapped in the cage? Yes, Mr, or Ms, Rat. It had eaten all the peanuts except the one behind the trip plate. I guess the moral of the story is don't give up. When it gets hungry enough, it will eat anything. I don't like to use peanut butter, because the only thing I ever caught with it are ants. It is really easy to set up the trap, nothing that will scare the whatever out of you when the trap accidentally goes off, like the spring loaded traps. Setting it up takes less than 3 seconds once you understand how it works, and that is not hard. The door has a metal clip so you can remove the door completely within a second to depose of the rat. This is a live trap, so do whatever you need to do to depose of the critter. 2nd update April 14, 2014 This is a fantastic trap. After catching 3 rats in a few days, I thought I was done so I put it away for a couple of weeks until the dog alerted me to a rat's presence. I set it out with my Costco unshelled peanuts and caught it overnight. I reset the trap and the rat ate all my bait without setting off the trap. I checked the trap and noticed the trigger plate didn't operate as smoothly as it did before. I reset it and it caught the 5th rat overnight. Set it up again and the 6th rascal ate all the peanuts in the cage but not the ones beyond the trigger plate. Again, the hinges on the trigger plate and door mechanism seem to stick a little from the weather. I spray a drop or less of silicon spray from Home Depot on all the moving parts, include the plastic door jamb, and every part was moving very smoothly, better than new. The silicon spray doesn't smell like WD40. This time, I place more peanuts behind the plate so the rats could see it better and add one peanut on top of the trip plate as a teaser. Overnight, it caught number 6. I wonder, are there that many rats coming from the hills, or are the peanuts attracting the ones from my neighbors' houses? With this success, I changing my ratings from 4 to a stellar 5. I suspect the buyers who didn't like these traps, aren't setting up the cages in dark covered areas or near walls because rats don't like to be out in the open. Set in a place where there is rat poop and where they have eaten food or made a nest. Don't set it in the same area where you previously killed rats. I think they can smell where other rats had died and will avoid it, that is why the live trap is so successful for me. I will set the trap back up until I don't catch any more in a month. ## Features - Humanely Captures Animals – Ideal for trapping chipmunks, rats, squirrels, voles, and weasels - Innovative Safety Features – Smooth internal edges prevent injuries to animals while inside & a handle guard protects you from contact with the animal - 1-Door Design – The gravity-action door makes setting and releasing the trap simple.

A few years ago they chewed a hole in the loft floor, through the sub-floor and carpet, causing $1500 worth of damage. I purchased a pellet gun and was able to dispatch several when they were perched on a stump. Fast forward a couple of years, and their pattern changed. The stump they once ate on is gone and I no longer have a clear shot. In desperation I purchased this trap. After some fiddling (detailed below), I was able to catch three squirrels. I found a wooded park 6 miles away, across a river and a freeway. They haven't been back. I'm confident that I can catch more in the future if any new guests move in. My experience/recommendations: I initially loaded the trap with peanut butter, but the squirrels showed little interest; it lay open for several days. I switched to walnut halves and I got immediate interest, however they were able to get the nuts and escape. I believe my failures were a result of three problems: 1- Trap Orientation: The directions recommend that the trap lay on a level surface. This wasn't possible for me as the only place I knew that they traveled was across the telephone line onto my roof. I originally oriented the gate so that it faced into the slope. I believe this may have actually slowed the gate down long enough for them to escape. I rotated the trap 180 degrees so that the gate no faced down-slope and I got the desired result. 2- Bait placement: Putting the bait in the back of the trap isn't enough, they need to be placed under the plate. I found that large walnut halves were big enough to not fall through the gate and could be placed under the trip plate. I crushed another walnut and made a walnut "strewn field" to lure them in. 3- The lever catch is too strong. When the door lever is fully engaged with the floor plate lever, it requires too much force to trip. One of the two levers is ground (concave) in order to make it easily set/mated. I found that sliding the levers, such that they barely make contact was key in getting it to trip for the squirrels. Summary: Pros: - More humane (this may be a Con depending on how much they've already cost you) - No Mess to worry about - Easy to setup/install - Easy to release - There is no way this trap could harm you or your family Cons: - Required some fiddling, as my initial attempts were unsuccessful - It does take some time to find a release point and then to drive there for each catch/release - Maybe not as humane as one might think (I've read that these squirrels are highly territorial, and that re-located squirrels may starve due to the stress of the move and having to re-establish a territory) --- ## 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.ar/products/715667-havahart-0745-extra-small-1-door-humane-catch-and-release](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/715667-havahart-0745-extra-small-1-door-humane-catch-and-release) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
